Privacy Policy
The Room Between — InsideTheRoomBetween.com
Effective Date: September 15, 2026 · Last Updated: September 15, 2026
1. Who We Are
InsideTheRoomBetween.com (the "Site") is owned and operated by Dr. Nicole Yeldell Butts / The Room Between ("The Room Between," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, sign up for our newsletter, apply for private coaching, click through to our membership community or group coaching, or purchase merchandise, and how that information is used, shared, and protected.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
- Newsletter signup (Boldly Becoming): name and email address when you subscribe.
- Private coaching application: name, email, and any details you share in the application form — which may include personal circumstances, life transition context, or other information you choose to disclose about your situation.
- Contact forms / inquiries: name, email, and the content of your message.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referral source, collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 6).
2.3 Information From Third-Party Platforms
The Site links out to third-party platforms we use to deliver parts of our offerings. We do not control what those platforms collect, but here's how they connect to us:
- Membership community and/or group coaching (e.g., Kajabi or Skool): When you click through to join, you leave InsideTheRoomBetween.com and create an account directly with that platform. Any information you provide there (name, email, payment details, profile info) is collected and governed by that platform's own privacy policy, not this one.
- Merchandise purchases (Shopify): When you purchase merch, checkout and payment processing take place entirely on Shopify's platform (and any payment processor it uses, such as Stripe or PayPal). We do not process or store your payment information at any point. We receive order details (what was purchased, shipping address) from Shopify in order to fulfill your order.
- Embedded video: The Site embeds video content from third-party hosts (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, or similar). These embeds may set their own cookies and collect data about your viewing activity — such as your IP address and interaction with the player — under their own privacy policies, independent of this Site.
- Podcast platform links (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.): The Site links out to third-party podcast platforms so you can listen to or follow the show. When you click through, you leave InsideTheRoomBetween.com, and any data collected (listening activity, account info) is governed by that platform's own privacy policy, not this one.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send the Boldly Becoming newsletter and related communications you've opted into
- Review and respond to private coaching applications, and follow up about next steps
- Fulfill and ship merchandise orders
- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
- Improve the Site's content, offerings, and user experience
- Send occasional updates about The Room Between ecosystem (podcast, community, coaching, retreats) — you can opt out at any time
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
4. How We Share Your Information
We share information only as needed to operate the Site and deliver our offerings:
- Email service provider (e.g., ConvertKit, Mailchimp, Kajabi, or similar) — to manage newsletter delivery and communications
- Kajabi and/or Skool — when you choose to join our membership community or group coaching, you are creating a direct relationship with that platform
- Shopify and Printful — to process, fulfill, and ship merchandise orders
- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or Shopify Payments) — to securely process transactions
- Legal or safety reasons — if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of The Room Between or others
We do not share coaching application details with third parties beyond what's needed to schedule and deliver the coaching service itself.
5. Coaching Application Data — Extra Care
Private coaching applications may ask you to share personal, sometimes sensitive, information about your life circumstances. We treat this information as confidential:
- It is reviewed only by Dr. Nicole Yeldell Butts and, where applicable, essential support staff bound by confidentiality
- It is used solely to evaluate fit and prepare for coaching engagements
- It is not used for marketing purposes beyond what you've separately opted into (e.g., the newsletter)
6. Cookies & Tracking
The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Remember your preferences
- Understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., via analytics tools such as Google Analytics)
- Support Shopify's store functionality (cart, checkout)
- Enable embedded video players to function (these third-party embeds may set their own cookies independent of the Site — see Section 2.3)
You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site (like checkout or video playback) may not function properly without them.
7. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy — for example, newsletter data until you unsubscribe, and coaching application data for a reasonable period to support the application and engagement process, after which it is deleted or anonymized unless a longer retention period is required by law.
8. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your information
- Opt out of marketing communications (every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link)
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
EU/UK visitors (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 12.
9. Third-Party Links & Platforms
The Site contains links to third-party platforms (Kajabi, Skool, Shopify, podcast hosting platforms, social media, etc.). This Privacy Policy applies only to InsideTheRoomBetween.com.
