When you subscribe to our newsletter, The Framework, we collect and process certain personal data to deliver our recurring updates and promotional notices. We utilize Kit (operated by ConvertKit LLC) as our third-party email distribution service provider. By subscribing, you acknowledge that your email address and metadata will be securely processed and stored by Kit.

A. Information Collected: We collect your email address purely to distribute our newsletter. To comply with global privacy frameworks (such as GDPR), we also securely record sign-up metadata, including your IP address, timestamp, and active opt-in confirmation to serve as our legal proof of consent.

B. Third-Party Handling (Kit): Kit acts as our dedicated data processor and is contractually prohibited from selling your data, sharing it with unauthorized parties, or using it to contact you directly for their own purposes. Your data is stored on secure servers (including United States-based systems utilizing standard contractual clauses to safeguard international data transfers).

C. Pixels and Interaction Tracking: Emails distributed through Kit contain tracking pixels (tiny, invisible images) and unique link identifiers. When you open our emails or click inside them, Kit compiles engagement statistics (such as open rates and link interactions) and basic network parameters (IP addresses and email clients) to help us analyze the quality of The Framework. You can disable this analytics tracking at any time by turning off automatic image loading inside your personal mail client's options.

D. Your Rights and Retention: Your email remains in our active database only as long as you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any point by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link located in the footer of every email. Once opted out, your email is permanently moved to a secure "suppression list" on Kit to legally ensure you do not receive future communications. Depending on your location (such as the EU, UK, Canada, or California), you retain the right to access, edit, or request the complete deletion of your data from our systems by contacting us.

Beyond intentional interactions like checkouts or sign-ups, we automatically collect certain device and usage parameters when you navigate Zack of All Frames.

• Information Collected: This includes your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, and data regarding how and when you browse our site.
• Cookies and Tracking: We utilize cookies and similar tracking technologies to optimize website performance, remember your preferences, and analyze general traffic patterns. You can manage or disable cookies through your individual browser settings, though doing so may impact your experience on certain parts of our site.

We do not sell your personal data. We utilize and disclose the limited information we collect for the following operational and legal purposes:

• Fulfillment and Service: Disclosing data to our trusted processors (Lemon Squeezy, Darkroom, Kit) to deliver your products and newsletters.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate, or prevent potential security incidents, fraudulent transactions, or malicious activity on our website.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, respond to valid legal processes (such as subpoenas or law enforcement requests), or protect our legal rights, property, and safety.

Zack of All Frames is operated globally, and your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own (including the United States), where data protection laws may differ. We rely on legally recognized transfer mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data remains protected.

Please note that while we employ industry-standard administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, no security system is completely impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security during data transmission or storage.

Depending on your geographical location (including the EU, UK, Canada, and various US states like California), you may hold specific statutory rights regarding your personal data. These generally include:

• Right to Know/Access: The right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Correct: The right to request updates to inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to Delete: The right to request the permanent erasure of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out: The right to control or restrict certain automated processing or targeted advertising models.
