Privacy policy

What Makes It Human? respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal data is collected when you visit this website or subscribe to the newsletter, why, and the rights you have.

Who is responsible

The data controller is [name and address of the author, acting in a personal capacity]. You can write about anything in this policy to hello@whatmakesithuman.example.

What is collected

• Subscribers: your email address, the date and time you subscribed, and a record of your consent.
• Email engagement: the email platform may record whether an issue was opened and which links were clicked.
• Website analytics: none at present. If analytics are introduced, they will be cookieless or require your consent first.

Why, and on what legal basis

Your email address is used solely to send you the newsletter. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any issue. Your data is never sold, rented or shared with advertisers.

Who processes it

Subscriber data is stored by Substack, acting as processor. Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, it is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

How long it is kept

For as long as you are subscribed. After you unsubscribe, your address is deleted within 30 days, except for a minimal suppression record that ensures you are never emailed again.

Your rights

You can access, rectify or erase your data, restrict or object to its processing, request portability and withdraw consent at any time. You may also complain to your supervisory authority (in France, the CNIL).
