Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21st October 2026

I take your privacy seriously. This explains what kendallmonk.com collects, why, where it's kept and what you can do about it, in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

1. What I collect

    • If you subscribe: your name and email address.
    • If you join the Campfire: the same, plus your membership status and payment history. Payments go through Stripe, and your card details go to Stripe, not to me.
    • If you comment: what you write, shown with your name to other Campfire members.
    • If you fill in a profile: whatever you choose to add. Profiles are optional.
    • When you visit: which pages you read, where the visit came from, your rough location and the kind of device. If you're signed in, those visits are linked to your membership.
    • When you open a newsletter: whether it was opened and which links were clicked.
    • If you email me: your message and your address.

2. What it's for

Sending you the writing you signed up for. Running the Campfire: membership, payments and comments. Telling you, now and then, about my own work. Seeing which writing reaches people, so I can make it better.

Nothing else. No ads, no brand deals, no affiliate links, and your details are never sold or rented.

Subscribing is your consent to these emails: the writing, updates, and news of my own work. Never offers from anyone else. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.

3. Who else handles it

The site runs on Ghost, which stores your details on its servers in the European Union. Payments go through Stripe. Newsletters are sent through Mailgun. These services handle your information only to run the site, and some of them hold it outside Australia.

Ghost sets a cookie to keep you signed in. Its page analytics use no cookies and are stored in the EU. No third-party advertising or tracking scripts run on the site.

4. The mySignal list is separate

If you registered interest in mySignal at mysignal.signalproject.co, that list is kept separately and its own notice covers it.

5. Access, correction and deletion

You can see the personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Campfire membership can be cancelled at any time from your account. For anything else, write to support@kendallmonk.com.

6. Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the new version replaces this one here, with the date at the top. If a change affects how your details are used, I'll tell subscribers by email.
