Bastards of Boston Baseball

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 2025

At Bastards of Boston Baseball, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a subscriber or visitor to our Substack page.

1. Information We Collect

When you subscribe to our newsletter or interact with our site, we may collect:

• Email address – to deliver posts, updates, and exclusive content

• Name (optional) – if you choose to provide it

• Referral data – if you join our referral program or use referral links

• Engagement data – such as which posts you open or click on, for analytics purposes

• Payment data – only if and when paid subscriptions are enabled (managed securely by Substack or Stripe)

We do not collect or store sensitive personal information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, or government IDs.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information to:

• Send you email updates, articles, and announcements

• Manage your account and referral rewards

• Understand reader engagement and improve our content

• Provide customer support if needed

• Notify you about new features, paid options, or promotional offers (you can opt out anytime)

We will never sell your personal information. Period. I mean…unless it’s like a really big amount! (Joking).

3. Sharing Your Information

We only share your data with third-party services required to operate our newsletter (e.g., Substack, Stripe). These providers are bound by privacy and security agreements and only use your data as necessary.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We use standard cookies and analytics tools to understand how readers interact with our site — things like how many people open a post or which links are clicked. You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies if you'd prefer. But who doesn’t like cookies, right?

5. Your Rights

You can:

• Unsubscribe at any time (link in every email)

• Request a copy of your data

• Ask us to delete your data

• Adjust your notification settings

For any of these requests, contact us.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We'll notify you if any material changes are made. Continued use of our site or emails after updates means you accept the changes.

7. Contact

We’re just as responsive as our bullpen — but way less stressful.
