What is this policy about?
This document explains how this website collects, uses, and protects your personal data to achieve the purposes outlined in this document.
What is personal data?
Personal data refers to information that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly. This includes details such as first name, last name, email address, tracking technologies (like cookies or tracking pixels), user activity, and device information. You can find detailed information on each type of personal data collected in dedicated sections of this privacy policy or in text shown before data is collected.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
Type of Information We Collect
The types of personal data that we collect may include: your name, display name, username, email address, your content, including your comments, and any other information you choose to provide. We collect this information when you share it directly with us. For example, this information is collected when you create an account, purchase a subscription, communicate with us via third-party platforms, request customer support or otherwise communicate with us.
Personal data may be freely provided by you, or, in case of usage data, collected automatically when using this website. Unless specified otherwise, all data requested by this website is mandatory and failure to provide this data may make it impossible for this website to provide its services.
In cases where we specifically state that some personal data is not mandatory, you are free not to communicate this data without consequences to the availability or the functioning of the service.
In some cases, we may also collect information you provide about others, such as when you purchase a subscription as a gift. We will use this information to fulfill your request and will not send communications to your contacts unrelated to your request, unless they separately consent to receive communications from us or otherwise engage with us.
We do not collect payment information. We rely on a third party (Stripe) to process payments in connection with our subscription service. Any information you provide to facilitate such a payment is subject to Stripe's privacy policy, and we encourage you to review this policy before you provide any information to the payment processor.
In some instances, we automatically collect certain information, including:
- Activity Information: We collect information about your activity on our website, such as when you log in or open a newsletter.
- Transactional Information: When you purchase a subscription, we collect information about the transaction, such as subscription details, purchase price, and the date of the transaction.
Any use of tracking tools by this website or by the owners of third-party services used by this website serves the purpose of providing service to you, in addition to any other purposes described in the present document.
You are responsible for any third-party personal data obtained, published or shared through this website.

We use the information we collect in order to provide, maintain and improve our website and subscription, which includes operating our subscription/paywall. We also use the information we collect to:
- Registering and maintaining your account;

- Providing support or assistance to your queries;
- Respond to your comments, questions, emails, social media or other form of communication;

- Carry out any other purpose described to you at the time the information was collected.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless required or permitted by law.

Retention of personal information
When we collect personal information associated with your account, we keep it for as long as your account remains active. If you close your account, we will delete your account data within 7 days. We store other personal data for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations.
