Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025

Welcome to a Substack publication by DoGoodBiz Studio. We care deeply about your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you subscribe, read, or interact with our publication.

By subscribing or using our Service, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who We Are

This is a Substack publication created by DoGoodBiz Studio, a Portland-based creative studio for conscious brands and creatives. Our Substack shares art, writing, and resources that explore creativity, ethical business, and people-and-planet-first living.

You can learn more about our studio at www.dogoodbiz.studio.

2. Information We Collect

When you subscribe or interact with our publication, Substack provides us with certain information about you, such as:

• Email address (required for subscription and communication)

• Name (if you choose to provide it)

• Subscription type (free or paid)

• Country or region (if provided through Substack’s analytics)

• Comments or messages you share publicly on posts

If you become a paid subscriber, payment details (like credit card information) are processed securely by Substack and Stripe — we never see or store your payment data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely for purposes that support your experience as a subscriber. Specifically, we may use your data to:

• Send you newsletters, updates, or special announcements.

• Respond to messages or comments you share with us.

• Understand general engagement trends (open rates, read times, etc.) through Substack’s analytics.

• Improve our content and reader experience.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. Ever.

4. How Your Information Is Stored

Your data is stored and managed by Substack, our publishing platform.
Substack uses secure servers and industry-standard measures to protect your personal information. You can read more about their practices in Substack’s Privacy Policy.

We do not download or store subscriber data outside of Substack, except when necessary for administrative purposes (for example, managing a paid subscriber list or providing community updates). Any such data is stored securely and used only for legitimate communication purposes.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Substack may use cookies and similar tracking tools to help us understand how readers interact with our publication, such as open rates, device types, and general engagement patterns.

We don’t use third-party advertising cookies or invasive tracking systems.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings if you prefer not to share this information.

6. Communication Preferences

You can unsubscribe or update your email preferences at any time by:

• Clicking the “Unsubscribe” or “Manage Subscription” link at the bottom of any email, or

• Logging into your Substack account to change your settings.

If you unsubscribe, you’ll stop receiving emails from us, but you can still read public posts on our Substack page.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access or request a copy of your personal data.

• Ask us to correct or delete your data.

• Withdraw consent for receiving emails at any time.

To make any of these requests, email us at natalie@dogoodbiz.studio, and we’ll respond promptly.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Service is hosted by Substack and may include links to other websites, tools, or platforms (like Etsy, Instagram, or our main website).
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.

9. Data Retention

We retain your subscription data as long as your account is active. If you unsubscribe, Substack will automatically mark your account as inactive, and your data will no longer be used for communication.

If you’d like us to fully delete your information, email us directly, and we’ll coordinate removal through Substack.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in how we operate or comply with new regulations.
When we do, we’ll update the “Last Updated” date above. If significant changes occur, we’ll notify you via email or a post on Substack.
