2. Personal information we collect

Information you provide to us

We may collect personal information that you provide directly through the Service or through related communications, including:

Contact information, such as your name and email address, when you subscribe to the newsletter or contact us.
Account information, such as your email address, password or authentication credentials, membership status, and account preferences.
Membership and transaction information, such as the membership plan you select, subscription status, billing history, and information needed to process or support a transaction. Payment card and other payment information may be collected and processed by Stripe, our payment processor, rather than stored directly by us. We may receive limited transaction information from Stripe, such as payment status, subscription status, billing history, and transaction identifiers.
Comments and other content you submit, including the name, email address, and content associated with a comment or other public interaction.
Information in messages, support requests, or privacy-rights requests, including any information you choose to include.

Information collected automatically

When you visit or use the Service, we and our service providers may automatically collect information about your device, browser, network connection, and interaction with the Service, including IP address, browser and device type, referring URLs, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, and information about member sessions, comments, or other interactions.

Information from third parties

We may receive membership, billing, subscription, transaction, refund, and fraud-prevention information from Stripe. If you sign in through Google or Facebook, we receive your email address, name, and related authentication information from that provider. We may receive email delivery, bounce, complaint, unsubscribe, open, and click information from Mailgun. We may also receive referral, engagement, comment, reaction, sharing, and other interaction information from Facebook, LinkedIn, ActivityPub services, and other platforms where our content appears.

We use service providers for hosting, email delivery, payments, analytics, content recommendations, publishing automation, audio generation, authentication, support, security, and related operations. Current providers include DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, Stripe, Mailgun, Plausible, Tinybird, Outpost, Contextly, Ghost’s hosted ActivityPub service, Google, Meta, LinkedIn, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, and Telegram. These providers may process contact information, member identifiers, billing and transaction information, email content and delivery information, support communications, post and interaction information, IP addresses, device and browser information, page URLs, referral information, and analytics events as needed to provide their services.

Our pages may also contain links to or embedded content from third-party platforms. Those platforms may receive information about your browser, device, IP address, account, and interaction with the content under their own privacy policies.

3. How we use personal information

We may use personal information for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
To create and manage member accounts and memberships, provide access to content, process transactions, and manage billing, referrals, and account support.
To send newsletters, service communications, account and billing notices, promotional communications, membership offers, and renewal or retention messages.
To display and manage comments and other user-submitted content.
To respond to questions, support requests, and privacy-rights requests.
To measure site and email use, referral sources, content performance, and reader engagement.
To recommend content and tailor site messages, offers, and communications based on membership status, plan, and interaction history.
To create audio versions of content and use automated or artificial intelligence tools for support and Service operations.
To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and other harmful or unlawful activity.
To comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use personal information for targeted advertising or automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not train an NROB artificial intelligence model with personal information.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The Service uses cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, scripts, and similar technologies. We use these technologies for login, membership, comments, security, payments, referral attribution, site analytics, content recommendations, membership messages, and email measurement.

Some technologies are necessary for the Service to operate. Others help us understand site use, measure communications, recommend content, and improve the Service.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect login, membership, payment, comments, or other functionality.

We do not use these technologies to sell personal information or for targeted advertising. The Service does not currently respond to Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signals.

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

Service providers that host, secure, operate, analyze, support, or communicate about the Service.
Stripe and any other payment or billing providers that process membership transactions or help us manage subscriptions.
Email delivery and communications providers that send newsletters, account messages, and transactional communications on our behalf.
Professional advisers, insurers, auditors, and other parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business or protect our rights.
Government authorities, courts, or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect people, property, or the Service.
A successor, buyer, or other participant in an actual or prospective merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction.

We do not sell personal information for money.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, administer memberships and accounts, communicate with you, comply with legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and protect the Service. Retention periods depend on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Newsletter information: We retain newsletter subscription records while your member account exists. If you unsubscribe, we stop sending newsletter and promotional email. Unsubscribing does not delete your member account, email address, unsubscribe status, or prior delivery and engagement records. We may retain unsubscribe and suppression records to document your request and prevent unwanted messages.
Member accounts and billing records: We retain member-account information while the account remains active or until the account is deleted. We may retain transaction, payment, tax, fraud-prevention, and accounting records after account deletion when required for legal, security, or business purposes. Stripe generally retains payment information for at least five years after the last transaction or end of the payment relationship.
Comments and public content: Comments remain published until you or an administrator removes them, or until the related post is removed. If a member account is deleted, comments from that account may remain visible under the name “Deleted member.” A removed comment may remain in internal records for moderation, security, dispute-resolution, or backup purposes.
Analytics and technical logs: Plausible retains aggregated site statistics while our account remains active and deletes its daily visitor identifiers after 24 hours. Mailgun retains email event logs for approximately 30 days, although suppression records and aggregated statistics may be retained longer. Contextly retains IP addresses for no more than 10 days and may retain other usage information for longer periods. Ghost, Tinybird, and Outpost analytics records are retained while needed to operate, measure, and improve the Service or until they are deleted. Web-server logs are generally retained for approximately 14 days, and Ghost application logs are generally retained for approximately 10 days. System security and journal logs are retained according to system capacity and operational needs.

Information deleted from active systems may remain in encrypted backups for up to 12 months. Backup copies are used only for security, disaster recovery, and service restoration.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International data transfers

We and our service providers may process personal information in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.

11. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we collected personal information from a child in a manner prohibited by law, contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on the Service and update the effective date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice when required by law.

We may then extend the response period by up to 45 additional calendar days.

To protect your information, we may ask you to respond from the email address associated with your account or to confirm a verification message sent to that address. If these methods are not available, we may request limited additional information needed to match the request to our records.
