Privacy Policy
The Next Climb Podcast ("we", "us", "the show") publishes long-form interviews and the website you are reading now. We collect as little personal information as we reasonably can, and we do not sell it. This policy explains what we do collect, why, and what you can do about it.
By using this website you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
Information we collect
Information you give us
You only share personal information with us when you choose to — for example by submitting a guest request, pitching a story, or emailing us. That typically includes your name, email address, organisation, and whatever you write in your message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, ours receives limited technical information from your browser when you visit:
- IP address and approximate region
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed, time on page, and the site that referred you
We use this in aggregate to understand which episodes and pages resonate. It is not used to build an advertising profile of you.
Cookies
This site uses only the cookies necessary for it to function, plus any set by analytics or embedded media (see below). You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though embedded players may not.
How we use it
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to your message, guest request, or enquiry
- Produce, schedule, and promote episodes
- Understand how the site is used so we can improve it
- Protect the site against abuse, spam, and security threats
- Meet our legal and record-keeping obligations
We keep personal information only as long as it serves one of these purposes, then delete it or anonymise it.
Your choices & rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it.
To make a request, email us at hello@thenextclimb.com. We will respond within a reasonable period, and we may need to verify your identity first.
Children
This site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of this website and the material we publish. By using the site, you accept them.
You may not use the site to break the law, to interfere with its operation or security, to scrape or harvest it by automated means without our permission, or to misrepresent your affiliation with the show.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site or these terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
Content & intellectual property
Episodes, transcripts, artwork, written copy, the show name, and the logo are owned by The Next Climb Podcast or used with permission, and are protected by copyright and trademark law.
What you may do
- Listen to, stream, and share links to episodes
- Quote short excerpts for commentary, criticism, news reporting, or education, with clear attribution to The Next Climb Podcast and a link back where practical
- Embed our official players using the tools the platforms provide
What you may not do
- Re-upload full episodes or substantial portions to any platform
- Use our name, logo, or a guest's likeness to imply endorsement
- Edit episodes in a way that misrepresents what was said
- Use our content to train commercial machine-learning models without written permission
For anything beyond this, email hello@thenextclimb.com and ask — we are usually happy to say yes.
Guests & contributors
Guests appear voluntarily and grant us permission to record, edit, publish, translate, dub, and distribute their interview across platforms and languages. Editorial control over the final cut rests with us, and we edit for clarity and length — never to change the meaning of what a guest said.
Views are the speaker's own. Opinions expressed by guests are theirs alone and do not represent the views of The Next Climb Podcast, its host, its team, or its partners. Hosting a guest is not an endorsement of their views, company, or products.
If you are a guest and believe something was published in error, contact us and we will review it promptly.
Disclaimers
The show is produced for general informational and educational purposes. Nothing on this site or in an episode is financial, investment, legal, medical, or professional advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation.
We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it "as is" and make no warranties about its accuracy, completeness, or uninterrupted availability. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of this site or its content.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
