At Breaking Shan, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how your information is used. Most of the technical and administrative handling of subscriber data is managed by Substack, the platform we use to deliver the newsletter and podcast.

By subscribing to or accessing the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide:
When you subscribe to the newsletter or podcast, Substack collects your email address and, if applicable, payment details for any paid subscriptions. Breaking Shan does not directly store or manage payment information.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically:
Substack may collect usage data such as email opens, clicks, and basic engagement analytics. This helps us understand how readers interact with the Service. Breaking Shan does not actively track or collect additional personal data beyond what Substack provides.

2.1 Breaking Shan only uses the information made available by Substack to:

• Deliver newsletters and podcast updates.

• Communicate important announcements about the Service.

2.2 We do not use your information for advertising or marketing purposes beyond the Service itself.

3. Sharing Your Information

3.1 We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
3.2 Substack may share your data as part of their own platform operations, which is covered by their Privacy Policy: https://substack.com/privacy.
3.3 We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, but otherwise your information is not shared.

4. Data Security

4.1 Substack handles the storage and protection of subscriber data. Breaking Shan relies on Substack’s security measures and does not independently manage payment or subscriber data.

5.1 You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email.
5.2 You may request information about your data through Substack’s platform.
