At A Curious Follower, your privacy is treated with the same care and respect as the reflections shared here. This space is about presence, not pressure – and that includes how your information is handled.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. What Information Is Collected

When you subscribe to A Curious Follower, I collect:

• Your email address

• Your name (if you choose to provide it)

If you’re a paid subscriber, Substack may also collect payment information. This is handled securely through their payment processor (Stripe) and is never stored or accessible by me.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used solely to:

• Send you new posts, updates, and reflections

• Manage your subscription (free or paid)

• Occasionally offer surveys, invitations, or subscriber-only content

That’s it. No spam, no selling of your data, no ads.

3. Third-Party Services

This publication is hosted on Substack, which means some of your data is processed through their platform. You can read Substack’s Privacy Policy here.

If you choose to make a payment, your transaction is handled by Stripe. You can view Stripe’s Privacy Policy here.

4. Unsubscribing and Deleting Your Data

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. If you’d like your data deleted, just reply to any post or email me directly and I’ll take care of it.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Substack may use basic cookies and analytics to help understand how posts are being read and accessed. I don’t personally track or store your behaviour – I’m more interested in your wellbeing than your clicks.

6. Your Rights

If you’re in the UK or EU, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data held about you

• Request correction or deletion of your data

• Withdraw consent or unsubscribe at any time

For any concerns, just get in touch – kindly, I’ll always do my best to respond promptly and respectfully.

If you have questions about how your data is used, or just want to reach out, you can email me at: josh@acuriousfollower.com

Thank you for trusting me with your presence here.
It’s received with care.

Josh | A Curious Follower
