Effective Date: 20 April 2025

Welcome to Shared Spaces. Yes, this is the part where I tell you what I do with your data — the short version: as little as possible, and always respectfully and lawfully.

This Privacy Policy outlines what personal information I collect, how it’s used, and what rights you have as a subscriber. Spoiler: I am not building a secret database of trustees behaving badly.

1. What I Collect (and Why)

When you sign up to receive posts, leave comments, or become a paid subscriber, I collect a few basics:

• Your name (if you give it),

• Your email address (so I can actually send you posts), and

• Payment info (handled by Stripe through Substack — not by me personally).

🧠 I may also see:

• What posts you read,

• What links you click,

• And whether you’re a die-hard fan or a skimmer. No judgment either way.

2. What I Do Not Do

Let me make a few things clear:

• I do not sell your data.

• I do not share your information with shady third-party operators.

• I do not stalk your reading habits.

3. Cookies (The Digital Kind, Sadly)

Substack may use cookies to improve functionality and track performance. I do not control these directly, but they help the platform run smoothly. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings — or just keep clicking around like it is 2007.

4. Emails & Marketing

By subscribing, you’ll receive:

• Regular(ish) updates on community scheme law,

• Legal breakdowns with extra sass,

• And the occasional call to upgrade your subscription (so that I can afford coffee and bagels).

Unsubscribing is easy — there’s a link at the bottom of every email. No guilt trips. No legalese-laden drama. Just a fond farewell.

5. Your Rights

You can:

• Ask to access, update, or delete your info,

• Request a copy of the data I hold on you (if you really want to know),

• Or demand to be forgotten entirely (though I will shed a quiet digital tear).

To do any of the above, just email me. No forms, no fees, no nonsense.

6. Children (aka The Future Trustees of Tomorrow)

This newsletter is not intended for anyone under 18 — unless you are already reading up on community scheme law before embarking on your property journey. In which case: bravo.

If you are here early, you are ahead of the pack. Have a chat with your parents or guardians about signing up for a proper paid subscription — it might just give you the edge that sets you apart from your peers for years to come, and puts you on the path to owning your own patch of titled paradise one day.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

If I ever change how your data is handled, you’ll be the first to know — no fine print, no surprise clauses. Just a clear update, probably with a joke in it.

That’s it — no creepy surveillance, no hidden agendas. Just legal content delivered with clarity, conscience, and caffeine.
