Threatcraft Substack Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Threatcraft is an independent publication hosted on Substack. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in connection with your use of the Publication.

Because Threatcraft operates entirely within Substack’s infrastructure, the scope of this policy is limited to what Threatcraft can observe and control as a publisher. It does not and cannot supersede Substack’s own Privacy Policy, which governs the collection, storage, and processing of your personal data at the platform level.

Substack’s Privacy Policy is available at: https://substack.com/privacy

By subscribing to or accessing the Threatcraft Substack, you acknowledge that your personal data is processed by Substack as the data controller, not by Threatcraft independently.

2. What Threatcraft Does Not Do

Threatcraft does not:

• Independently collect, store, or process personal data of any kind;

• Have access to your payment information, billing details, or financial data;

• Set cookies or deploy tracking technologies on its own behalf;

• Operate independent mailing systems, analytics tools, or subscriber databases;

• Share, sell, or transfer your personal information to any third party.

All data infrastructure - including subscriber lists, email delivery, payment processing, and usage analytics - is managed entirely by Substack.

3. What Substack Collects on Threatcraft’s Behalf

When you subscribe to or interact with Threatcraft, Substack may collect the following categories of information as part of its standard platform operations:

• Your email address and account credentials;

• Payment information for paid subscriptions (processed and stored by Substack’s payment processors);

• Usage data, including reading activity, click-through behavior, and subscription status;

• Device and browser information for platform functionality and security purposes.

Threatcraft has limited visibility into this data. As a publisher, Threatcraft can access aggregate subscriber counts and basic engagement metrics as provided by Substack’s dashboard.

Threatcraft does not have access to individual user profiles, passwords, or payment details.

4. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights with respect to your personal data under applicable law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) for subscribers in the European Union, as well as applicable United States federal privacy frameworks.

Because Substack acts as the data controller for subscriber personal data, requests to exercise these rights - including access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data - should be directed to Substack directly through their Privacy Policy and support channels at https://substack.com/privacy.

Threatcraft will cooperate with any lawful request directed to it in connection with subscriber data to the extent it has the capability to do so within Substack’s platform.

5. Email Communications

If you subscribe to Threatcraft’s Substack, you will receive emails delivered through Substack’s infrastructure. These may include new post notifications, announcements, and other publication-related communications.

You may unsubscribe from email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email.

Unsubscribing from emails does not delete your Substack account or cancel a paid subscription. Those actions must be taken separately through your Substack account settings.

Threatcraft’s Substack does not send unsolicited commercial email and does not use your email address for any purpose outside of delivering publication content through Substack.

6. Third-Party Links

Content published by Threatcraft may include links to third-party websites, tools, repositories, or resources.

Threatcraft is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site.

Visiting a linked resource is subject to that resource’s own privacy policy and terms.

7. Minors

Threatcraft does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 16, including children, adolescents, or minors, and any other individuals who have not reached the age of digital consent as defined under applicable law.

The Publication is not directed at children, adolescents, or minors, and does not contain content created for or marketed to persons under the age of 16.

For the purposes of this Policy, the term “children” refers to any individual under the age of 16, regardless of the jurisdiction in which they reside.

If you believe a person under 16 has subscribed to the Publication, please contact Substack directly at tos@substackinc.com.

8. Changes to This Policy

Threatcraft reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated through a notice published in the Publication. Your continued access to or subscription to the Publication following any such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

9. Contact

For privacy-related questions specific to Threatcraft’s publication practices, you may contact the publication by emailing threatcraft@proton.me. Please title the subject of your email “Privacy Policy Query”.

For questions about how your personal data is handled at the platform level, contact Substack directly via https://substack.com/contact.

This Privacy Policy is intended to be read alongside Substack’s platform-level Privacy Policy.

In the event of any conflict between this Policy and Substack’s Privacy Policy with respect to data handling, Substack’s Privacy Policy supersedes & governs.
