We collect only what's necessary to deliver the work and maintain the platform. No shadow data harvesting. No selling to the highest bidder.

• To Deliver Content: Sending you the essays, podcasts, and updates you've subscribed to receive.
• To Process Payments: Managing subscriptions for those supporting the work financially.
• To Improve the Platform: Understanding which diagnoses resonate, not to manipulate but to serve better.
• To Respond to You: When you reach out with genuine inquiry, not performance.

What We DON'T Do:

• Sell your data to anyone, ever
• Use your information for targeted advertising
• Create shadow profiles for manipulation
• Share with social media platforms
• Mine your behavior for profit

Your data is protected through industry-standard encryption and security measures. We use Ghost's secure infrastructure, Stripe's payment security, and encrypted connections throughout.

Security measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission
• Secure hosting with regular security updates
• Limited access controls (only essential personnel)
• Regular security audits and updates
• No storage of sensitive payment information

No system is impenetrable, but we take reasonable measures to protect what you share with us. The biggest security measure? Not collecting what we don't need.

You have sovereignty over your data. These aren't granted permissions but recognized rights:

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]

We use minimal cookies - only what's necessary for the site to function and remember you're logged in.

Essential Cookies:

• Session cookies to keep you logged in
• Preference cookies to remember your settings
• Security cookies to prevent fraud

Analytics:

We use privacy-focused analytics (not Google Analytics) to understand general patterns - which essays resonate, what times people engage. No individual tracking, no behavior profiles, no selling your attention to advertisers.

What We DON'T Use:

• Facebook Pixel or social media trackers
• Third-party advertising cookies
• Cross-site tracking
• Behavioral profiling tools
• Retargeting or remarketing pixels

We use minimal third-party services, each chosen for necessity and privacy standards:

• Ghost (Content Platform): Hosts the site and manages subscriptions. They process data according to their privacy policy, which aligns with GDPR standards.
• Stripe (Payment Processing): Handles all payment data securely. We never see your card details - Stripe handles it all under bank-level security.
• Email Service: For delivering content to subscribers. No selling your email, no spam, just the diagnoses you signed up for.

Each service is bound by their own privacy policies and data protection standards. We've chosen partners who respect privacy rather than exploit it.

This work is for those ready to confront civilizational diseases, not children. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we discover we have, it will be immediately deleted.

The diagnoses require psychological maturity. The shadow work demands adult consciousness. This isn't age discrimination but recognition of developmental readiness.

If we update this policy, we'll notify subscribers via email and post the changes here with the update date. No shadow updates, no buried changes in fine print.

Continued use after changes means acceptance. If you disagree with changes, you can exercise your right to deletion.
