Your privacy matters to me. I want Together, Between Worlds to be a place of trust, connection, and shared creativity. I collect only the information needed to offer my newsletter, gatherings, and other creative offerings, and I treat what you share with care and respect.
What information I collect and how I use it
When you subscribe to my newsletter through Substack, I receive your email address and any name or other information you choose to provide. I use this information to send you my writing, creative offerings, event invitations, membership updates, and other communications related to Together, Between Worlds. Substack may also provide basic engagement information, such as email opens and link clicks.
I may also collect email addresses and other information through Google Forms for purposes such as registering for Rest Gatherings, responding to enquiries, or participating in other activities. In the future, I may use additional tools, such as SpeakPipe, to receive messages or contributions from readers. The information collected will depend on the purpose of each form or tool and what you choose to share.
How I protect your information
I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with other writers, businesses, or organisations for their own marketing purposes. Your contact information will not be passed to collaborators.
From time to time, I may collaborate with like-minded writers, teachers, and creatives. These collaborations will be introduced through the newsletter itself or a special issue, so you can choose whether to engage with them.
Comments and shared reflections
I value the reflections and responses readers share with me. I may occasionally include short excerpts from comments or other contributions in my writing or newsletter, but I will not attach your name or other identifying details to an excerpt without your permission. I will take care to remove identifying information, though I cannot guarantee anonymity if the wording or context makes someone recognisable.
Please remember that comments posted publicly on Substack may be visible to other readers, along with your Substack display name or profile information. If you prefer to share something privately, you can contact me directly or use a designated form.
Third-party services
Substack, Google Forms, and any other tools I may use process information according to their own privacy policies and practices. These services may store information on their systems and may process it in locations outside Canada. I encourage you to review their privacy policies if you would like to know more about their handling of personal information.
Your choices and privacy requests
You can unsubscribe from my newsletter at any time using the link in any newsletter email. You may also contact me to ask about the personal information I hold, or to request that it be corrected or deleted, subject to any legal or administrative requirements for retaining it.
I may update this policy as my offerings and the tools I use evolve. Any revised version will be made available with the newsletter.
Thank you for the trust you place in me and in this community. I am committed to treating your information with care, transparency, and respect.
