You agree to the privacy policy below, and the Privacy Policy for Substack, the technology provider.

Privacy Policy

The Not-So-Guru’s Playbook, a publication by InnerCurrent Media, values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data on not-so-guru.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited personal data when you subscribe, such as your name and email address. Payment processing is securely handled by trusted third-party providers (such as Substack or Stripe). The Not-So-Guru’s Playbook never has direct access to your payment details. Our only interaction with payment data is the receipt of subscription fees after standard platform deductions.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your personal information is used to:

  • Provide you with access to published content

  • Manage and maintain your subscription

  • Send you updates, newsletters, and new posts

We do not sell or rent your personal information. Your data is used solely to support your experience with our publication.

3. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal information with third parties, except for essential service providers such as payment processors or newsletter platforms (e.g., Substack). These third parties manage your payment or subscription data under their own privacy policies.

4. Security of Your Data

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information (such as name and email) from unauthorized access or misuse. Payment security and financial data management are handled exclusively by our third-party payment processors, not by The Not-So-Guru’s Playbook or InnerCurrent Media.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Not-So-Guru’s Playbook uses basic cookies and analytics tools on not-so-guru.com to improve performance, monitor engagement, and better understand audience interests. These cookies may collect non-personal data such as page visits, device type, and time spent on site. You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Additionally, Substack and other third-party platforms may use their own cookies or tracking tools as part of their standard operations.

6. Your Rights

You may update or delete your personal data at any time by contacting us. You may also opt out of email communications by selecting “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any newsletter or update.

7. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will appear on this page, and continued use of the site indicates acceptance of those changes. For significant updates, notice may be provided via email or a prominent notice on the website.
