Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Machincy ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you subscribe to our email updates or interact with our platform.

1. Personal Data We Collect

We practice strict data minimization. The only personal information we collect is your email address when you voluntarily sign up for our newsletter. We do not collect names, addresses, phone numbers, location data, or behavior tracking metrics.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your email address exclusively to:

  • Send you updates about the progress and availability of the book Machincy.
  • Provide transactional emails, such as the initial subscription confirmation and opt-out notifications.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

To operate our newsletter and prepare for monetization tiers, we share data with the following trusted processors:

  • DigitalOcean: For hosting our web server and database (located in secure US-based data centers).
  • Resend / SMTP Providers: To securely route transactional welcome messages and newsletter broadcasts.
  • Stripe: Our payment processor. Stripe processes payments directly and operates under its own security and privacy parameters. We do not store credit card credentials on our servers.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising trackers, or telemetry scripts. Our platform utilizes zero non-functional cookies, which keeps your browser clean and exempts this site from cookie opt-in banners.

5. Your Legal Rights (including GDPR)

Depending on your location, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe instantly at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email we send.
  • Right to Erasure: You can request that we permanently delete your email address from our database by contacting us.
