You agree to the privacy policy below, and the Privacy Policy for Substack, the technology provider.

A Commitment to Your Rights

Preamble

We believe that privacy is a fundamental human right, not a commodity to be exploited or traded. This Privacy Policy reflects our commitment to safeguarding your personal information and ensuring that your data will never be used in ways that violate your autonomy, dignity, or trust. Our approach is guided by ethical responsibility, respect for individual privacy, and a deep understanding that the surveillance economy has caused harm. In a world where technology continues to blur the lines between public and private, we uphold the belief that privacy is essential to freedom and a shared, conscious humanity.

1. Our Promise to You

We do not collect, exploit, or share your personal data. We do not participate in surveillance practices or any activities that compromise your right to privacy. Specifically:

  • No Tracking: We do not track, monitor, or profile your behavior, either within or outside of our services.

  • No Data Mining: We do not mine your data for insights or sell your data to third parties, advertisers, or analytics firms.

  • No Behavioral Manipulation: We do not use algorithms to manipulate your behaviors, preferences, or decision-making processes.

Your personal life, thoughts, and actions belong to you and you alone. We view any attempt to infringe on that autonomy as a violation of your fundamental rights.

2. Your Data, Your Control

We believe that privacy means you have total control over your personal data. As such, we make the following commitments:

  • Data Minimization: We collect only the bare minimum amount of information necessary to provide our services (if any is collected at all), and even then, only with your explicit consent.

  • No Data Storage: We do not store your data beyond the immediate needs of the service you have requested. If data is collected to deliver a service, it will be deleted immediately afterward.

  • Your Right to Be Forgotten: If you ever interact with us in a way that involves personal data, you have the unequivocal right to have that data deleted, without delay or question, at your request.

3. Rejecting the Surveillance Economy

We recognize that the surveillance economy has led to a systematic erosion of privacy and an exploitation of personal data for profit. We reject this model entirely. Our philosophy is grounded in the following principles:

  • Transparency and Trust: We are transparent about any data interactions and ensure that you are fully informed about how and why your data may be used (if at all). We do not participate in secretive or opaque data collection practices.

  • No Advertising Exploitation: We do not sell or lease access to your personal data to advertisers or data brokers. You will never be targeted based on your interactions with us.

  • Ethical Technology Use: We believe that technology should serve humanity, not exploit it. We prioritize the development of ethical technology that respects privacy and protects personal freedoms.

4. Privacy is a Human Right

We affirm that privacy is central to personal freedom, dignity, and the capacity for individual self-expression. In our view:

  • Privacy is Inviolable: Your private life is not for sale, and we take active steps to ensure that nothing you share with us can ever be exploited.

  • Freedom of Thought and Speech: True freedom of thought, conscience, and speech depends on a secure, private environment. We commit to protecting that space for you.

  • Your Consent Matters: We will never use your personal data for any purpose without your explicit and informed consent. You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

5. Privacy and Shared Consciousness

We believe that a shared consciousness—one that fosters collective growth, empathy, and progress—cannot exist without individual privacy. Privacy allows for the protection of ideas, dissent, and personal evolution. Without it:

  • Creativity and Innovation Suffer: Privacy provides the intellectual space needed to innovate and create. We protect that space as an essential condition for a thriving, dynamic society.

  • Community and Collaboration: True community can only exist when individual rights, including the right to privacy, are respected. Our policies ensure that our community is built on trust, not exploitation.

6. Your Rights

We honor the following rights as essential to your privacy and personal autonomy:

  • Right to Access: You have the right to know exactly what, if any, personal data we have collected about you and how it has been used. We will provide this information upon request.

  • Right to Rectification: If any personal information we hold is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected.

  • Right to Erasure: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data from our systems at any time, and we will comply immediately.

  • Right to Object: You have the right to object to any use of your personal data, even if you have previously given consent. We will honor this objection without question.

7. Our Commitment to Ethical Data Practices

We promise to uphold the highest standards of ethics in how we approach privacy and data protection. This includes:

  • No Hidden Agendas: We do not engage in covert data collection practices. Every interaction you have with us is based on transparency and respect.

  • Continuous Improvement: As privacy risks evolve, we will continually review and improve our privacy practices to ensure they remain in line with the highest ethical standards.

  • Advocacy for Privacy Rights: Beyond our services, we advocate for stronger privacy protections globally and stand against the encroachments of the surveillance state.

Conclusion

By using our services, you can rest assured that your privacy is respected and protected as a human right. We stand against the commodification of personal data, the exploitation of the surveillance economy, and the erosion of individual rights. We believe that true progress requires both a shared consciousness and the protection of individual privacy.

We ask you to join us in building a future that respects both.
