The Kardamow Research Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 01/01/2025

At The Kardamow (“we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy matters. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you subscribe, read, or interact with our research.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information
We collect your name, email address, and payment details (processed securely through Substack and Stripe). Kardamow does not store or have access to your full payment information.

Usage Data
We receive analytics on email performance and website activity — including which emails you open, articles you read, and links you click. These metrics help us understand what’s useful to readers.

Communications
When you email us, submit feedback, or participate in discussions, we collect and retain that correspondence to improve our service and respond effectively.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Deliver the research and analysis you subscribed to.

• Improve our content based on aggregate reader engagement.

• Send important account or service updates.

• Respond to your questions, comments, or feedback.

We do not:

• Sell your information to third parties.

• Share subscriber data with other publications or marketing partners.

• Use your information for targeted advertising outside our platform.

3. Third-Party Services

We use Substack for publishing and Stripe for payment processing. Both handle your data under their respective privacy policies:

• Substack Privacy Policy

• Stripe Privacy Policy

While we choose reputable providers, we do not control their independent data practices.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted transmission and secure data storage. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.

• Correct inaccurate or outdated information.

• Request deletion of your account and associated data.

• Opt out of non-essential communications.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@kardamow.com. We review and respond to every request personally.

6. International Users

If you are located outside the U.S. or EU, your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions where our service providers operate. By subscribing, you consent to such transfer in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our research and analysis are intended for professional and institutional investors. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe we may have done so inadvertently, please contact us, and we will promptly delete the information.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect legal, operational, or editorial changes. Subscribers will be notified of any material updates via email or within our publication.
