Privacy Policy for FSA Education, Research & Recovery E-Publication (Substack)™
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy At Scapegoat Exit, I understand that your privacy is not just a legal matter—it is a matter of psychological safety. I do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Your email address and data belong to you, and I only use them to provide you with the clinical insights and community support you have requested.
2. Data Collection & The Substack Ecosystem Because this publication is hosted on Substack, your data is processed through their infrastructure.
What I See: I have access to your email address and your subscription status.
What I Don’t See: I do not see or store your credit card information. All payments are handled securely by Stripe, a global payment processor.
Platform Terms: By using this site, you are also subject to Substack’s own Privacy Policy regarding how they manage the technical delivery of this newsletter.
3. The Reality of Community Interaction I provide paywalled “community” spaces (comments, threads, and chats) for our Vanguard. While I strive to keep these spaces safe and supportive, I cannot guarantee complete privacy within these interactions. * Anything you post in a comment or community thread can be seen by other subscribers.
I urge you to use a pseudonym or “screen name” if you wish to remain anonymous, and to be mindful of sharing specific, identifying details of your personal life.
4. Data Sovereignty You are in control of your data. You may unsubscribe or delete your account at any time. If you choose to leave, you can request that I manually delete your email from my records, though Substack may retain certain data as required by law or their own technical operations.
5. Legal Accountability As a UK-based practitioner (or wherever your primary office is located), I adhere to the principles of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act. I treat your data with the same clinical care I would give a patient file, but I acknowledge that no digital system is 100% impenetrable.
