Privacy Policy
Privacy at Chaos Culture Radio
This policy explains what information Chaos Culture Radio collects, how we use it, and which outside services help operate the site, newsletter, payments, podcast players, and video embeds.
Information We Collect
We collect information you choose to provide, such as an email address submitted to the newsletter, a message sent through a contact path, or billing details submitted through a payment checkout.
We also collect basic technical and usage information, such as pages visited, referral sources, browser or device type, and approximate request data needed to deliver the site securely.
How We Use Information
We use information to send requested emails, process Premium membership payments, deliver pages and media, understand which content is useful, prevent abuse, respond to inquiries, and maintain the site.
Newsletter: Buttondown
Email subscriptions are handled through Buttondown. If you join the list, Buttondown processes your email address and related subscription data so we can send episode updates, articles, live notices, resources, and Premium updates. You can unsubscribe using the link included in newsletter emails.
Payments: Stripe
Premium checkout is processed by Stripe. Payment card details are submitted to Stripe, not stored directly in this website repository. Stripe may process billing contact details, payment method details, transaction records, fraud-prevention signals, and subscription status according to its own policies.
Video and Podcast Embeds
The site may embed or link to YouTube videos and live streams. YouTube may collect viewing, device, cookie, and account-related information when you load or interact with a YouTube player.
Podcast audio and show players may be served through Spreaker. Spreaker may process playback, device, and request data when you load or use an embedded player or podcast feed.
Hosting: Vercel
Chaos Culture Radio is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes request logs and technical data needed to deliver pages, protect infrastructure, troubleshoot errors, and maintain performance.
Analytics and Cookies
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand site traffic and improve content. Embedded services such as YouTube, Spreaker, Buttondown, Stripe, and Vercel may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies. You can control many cookie and tracking settings through your browser.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We share information with service providers only as needed to operate the site, send email, process payments, deliver media, analyze performance, comply with legal obligations, or protect the site from abuse.
Your Choices
You can unsubscribe from emails, avoid loading optional media embeds, use browser privacy controls, and contact us about privacy questions through the contact page.
