At
we believe publishing is a form of trust.
That trust extends to how we handle your data. This page outlines our approach to privacy, transparency, and reader respect — not just as a legal requirement, but as part of our publishing philosophy.
What We Collect:
We collect only what’s necessary to deliver content and sustain the platform:
- Email address (if you subscribe or become a member)
- Membership tier info (to manage supporter access)
- Basic analytics (page views, referrers — anonymized and cookie-free)
- Payment info (handled securely by third-party processors — we never see your card details)
We do not collect sensitive personal data, behavioral profiles, or invasive tracking.
Why We Collect It:
- To send you updates, capsules, or thread previews
- To manage your membership and supporter perks
- To understand what content resonates (via privacy-respecting analytics)
- To keep the site secure and performance.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or third-party marketers. Ever.
Your Rights
You can:
- Unsubscribe from emails anytime
- Request deletion of your data
- Ask what we’ve stored (spoiler: very little)
- Reach out with questions at studio@42stillmatters.com
We respect your autonomy. You’re not a product here.
Cookies
We use minimal cookies — only what’s needed to keep the site functional and understand basic engagement. No ad tracking. No behavioral profiling. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
Security
We use HTTPS, secure servers, and minimal data collection to keep things safe. Sensitive data (like payments) is handled by third-party processors with industry-grade encryption. We don’t store passwords, credit card numbers, or anything we don’t need.
International Access
If you’re visiting from outside India, your data may be processed in India or other jurisdictions. We follow global best practices to ensure your data is handled respectfully and securely.
Policy Changes
If we update this page, we’ll post the changes here and notify members if it’s significant. We don’t do silent edits or hidden clauses. Transparency is part of the ethos.
