1. Information We Collect
When you sign up for our newsletter, create a forum account, or subscribe to a membership plan, we collect the information you provide — including your name, email address, and billing information (processed securely through our payment provider).
We also collect standard web analytics data: pages visited, time spent, referring sources, and browser type. This data is anonymized and used solely to improve our content and user experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to: deliver the newsletter and membership content you've subscribed to; respond to your inquiries and support requests; improve the website based on usage patterns; and detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission, encrypted storage of sensitive data, and regular security audits.
4. Cookies
We use essential cookies for site functionality (session management, authentication) and optional analytics cookies (Google Analytics, privacy-enhanced mode). You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services: payment processing (Stripe), analytics (Plausible, privacy-focused), and newsletter delivery (Mailchimp). Each service has its own data handling practices, which are governed by their respective privacy policies.

You have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction or deletion of your data; withdraw consent for processing at any time; and export your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@unexploredphenomenon.com.
