for The Cosmically Disorganized & Subtly Macabre
Last updated: 16 November 2025

Welcome to this strange little corner of the interwebs. This Privacy Policy explains what happens to your information when you wander into this Substack, subscribe, or otherwise interact with the content here (“the Site”). Despite the spooky aesthetic, your data is treated with care, respect, and zero eldritch rituals.

1. Information Collected

Information You Voluntarily Share

When you subscribe, comment, or reach out, the Site may collect:

• Your email address

• Your name or chosen alias

• Any information you submit in a comment or message

Nothing unusual—just the basics needed to keep you in the loop.

Information Automatically Collected

Like most sites (haunted or otherwise), this one may automatically collect:

• IP address

• Browser and device type

• Usage data and general analytics

• Cookies (the digital kind, not the chocolate chip kind)

Some of this is handled through Substack’s built-in analytics.
For details on their own data handling, see Substack’s Privacy Policy.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information may be used to:

• Send new posts, newsletters, updates, and announcements

• Respond to comments or messages

summoning rituals, selling to third parties, or anything involving blood magic.

3. Email Communications

By subscribing, you agree to receive email updates.
You can unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of each email.
No hard feelings—the ghosts will cope.

4. Cookies & Tracking

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep things running smoothly

• Embedded services, like social media widgets

These services have their own privacy policies, which operate alongside this one.

6. Data Protection

Reasonable technical and administrative measures are taken to protect your information.
No website can promise perfect security, but efforts are made to keep your data safe from both human and supernatural interference.

This Site is not intended for individuals under 13.
No information is knowingly collected from children.
