1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Dignity Hub ("this site," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects personal information submitted by visitors ("you") to dignityhub.com. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data.
This site is operated by Nathaniel Ahrens, a private individual. It is an informational and educational website. It does not sell products or services.
Because this site is accessible globally, this policy is written to address the requirements of multiple privacy regimes, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the United Kingdom's UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), and other applicable national privacy laws.
If you have questions about this policy, please use the contact form on the website’s About page.

3. What data we collect and why
This site collects personal data in the following limited ways:
3.1 Contact form submissions When you submit the contact form on the About page, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry. It is not shared with third parties, added to any mailing list, or used for any purpose other than responding to you directly.
Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interests — responding to a directly submitted enquiry. Retention: Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to address your enquiry and are then deleted.
3.2 Newsletter subscription (Squarespace) If you choose to subscribe to updates directly through this site, we collect your email address. This is used only to send you notifications of new content published on Dignity Hub.
Legal basis (GDPR): Consent — freely given, specific, and withdrawable at any time. Retention: Until you unsubscribe, which you may do at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email.
3.3 Newsletter subscription (Substack) This site links to a newsletter published on Substack (substack.com). If you choose to subscribe via Substack, your personal data — including your email address — is collected and processed by Substack, Inc., a US-based company, under Substack's own Privacy Policy (available at substack.com/privacy). We are the publisher ("controller") of that newsletter; Substack is the data processor. Substack has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses for EU-US data transfers under its Publisher Agreement.
By subscribing on Substack, you are also agreeing to Substack's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read those documents before subscribing.
3.4 Cookies and analytics (Squarespace) This site is built on Squarespace, which automatically collects certain technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral source. This information is used for site analytics — understanding how visitors use the site — and is processed by Squarespace, Inc. under Squarespace's Privacy Policy (available at squarespace.com/privacy).
Squarespace sets both essential cookies (necessary for the site to function) and non-essential analytics cookies. You need to give affirmative consent before non-essential cookies are placed on your device. The site's cookie banner allows you to manage your preferences.
Squarespace is a US-based company. Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Squarespace relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for EU-US data transfers.
Legal basis (GDPR): Consent for non-essential cookies; legitimate interests for essential site functionality.
3.5 Embedded content Pages on this site may include embedded content from third-party services (such as embedded PDFs or video). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those sites directly and may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.
4. How we share your data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not share it with advertisers or marketing companies.
Your data may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:
Squarespace: as the platform on which this site is hosted, Squarespace processes technical and analytics data as described above.
Substack: if you subscribe to the newsletter via Substack, your data is processed by Substack as described in Section 3.3.
Legal obligation: if required by law, court order, or government authority, we may disclose personal data to comply with that obligation.

This site is operated from the United States. If you are visiting from the European Union, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with data protection laws, please note that your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
