Privacy Policy – Signal of Noise

Effective Date: March 22, 2025

At Signal of Noise, your privacy isn’t an afterthought—it’s a core principle. Here’s what we collect, what we don’t, and how your data is treated.

1. Who We Are

This is the official privacy policy for Signal of Noise, published via Substack. We use Substack’s platform and tools, so some data practices fall under their umbrella. You can view Substack’s own privacy policy here.

2. What We Collect

We collect the basics you give us:

• Email address (when you subscribe)

• Name or username (if you provide one)

• Payment information (for paid subscriptions, processed securely by Stripe or Substack—not directly by us)

• Your interactions with the site—like which posts you read or comment on

We do not collect sensitive personal info, track you across the internet, or sell your data. Ever.

3. How We Use Your Info

We use your information to:

• Send you updates and posts you signed up for

• Manage your subscription (free or paid)

• Respond to your comments or questions

• Improve what we write and how we engage

No spam. No creepy targeting. Just content.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Substack to publish and send emails. They may use cookies and basic analytics to monitor engagement. If you subscribe or pay for content, Stripe handles your payment securely.

Substack and Stripe have their own policies:

• Substack Privacy Policy

• Stripe Privacy Policy

5. Your Choices

You can:

• Unsubscribe at any time—every email we send includes a simple unsubscribe link.

• Update your info through your Substack profile.

• Request deletion of your data by contacting us at [Your Contact Email].

We’ll honor your request unless legally obligated to retain it.

6. Children’s Privacy

This site is not intended for children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect data from kids. If you’re a parent and believe your child has signed up, contact us—we’ll fix it.

7. Policy Updates

We may tweak this policy from time to time. Major changes will be announced. Minor edits will just be updated here. Keep an eye out if you’re privacy-conscious (we respect that).
