Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, we and our service providers automatically receive standard technical information. This includes your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, how you arrived at the site, and roughly where you are (city or country level).

We don't ask for sensitive information, and we never receive payment card details through this site.

2. Cookies and tracking tools

3. How we use information

We use information to:

  • send you the newsletter and updates you signed up for
  • reply to your messages and requests
  • run, secure and improve the website
  • understand which episodes and content people find most helpful
  • measure and improve our marketing on other platforms
  • meet our legal obligations

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers listed above, who help us run the site, send emails and understand our audience. They may use it only as their own terms allow. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

5. Our other sites

Some links on this site take you to other services, such as our Online Community (knowthyselfcollective.com), Live Workshops (workshop.knowthyselfpodcast.com), podcast apps and social media. Those services have their own privacy policies, which apply when you use them.

6. Our analytics dashboard and Google data

To track how our podcast is growing, the Know Thyself team uses an internal dashboard. It reads view-only statistics from Know Thyself's own YouTube, Instagram and Facebook accounts, such as views, watch time, subscribers, followers and reach.

  • The account owner gives permission, and can remove it at any time.
  • The dashboard cannot post, upload, edit, delete or comment on anything.
  • For YouTube it uses the YouTube Data API and YouTube Analytics API with read-only access (youtube.readonly and yt-analytics.readonly). By using it, the account owner also agrees to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google Privacy Policy
  • The data is used only to show channel performance to our team. We don't sell it, share it, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.
  • Access keys are stored securely and never published.
  • Access can be removed at myaccount.google.com/permissions (Google/YouTube) or in Facebook/Instagram Settings → Business integrations. After that, we stop collecting new data. To have stored data deleted, contact us.

Know Thyself's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

7. Your rights and choices

  • Emails: unsubscribe at any time with the link at the bottom of any email.
  • Cookies: change your choices through the cookie banner or your browser settings.
  • Access, correction and deletion: ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it.
  • California residents: you have the right to know, delete and correct your personal information, and to opt out of "sharing" for targeted advertising (for example, through the Meta Pixel). To exercise these rights, decline advertising cookies in the cookie banner or contact us. We won't treat you differently for using your rights.
  • EU and UK residents: you also have the right to object to or restrict how we use your information, to data portability, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We use information based on your consent (for example, newsletter sign-ups and non-essential cookies) and on our legitimate interest in running and improving our site.

To make a request, email us using the address below. We may need to confirm your identity first.

8. Keeping and protecting information

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above. For example, we keep newsletter details until you unsubscribe. We use reputable service providers and reasonable safeguards to protect information, though no website can be completely secure. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries.

9. Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU and UK), and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has shared information with us, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
