Privacy Policy

The short version

I collect your email address when you subscribe to Self Disciplined. I use it to send you the newsletter. I don't sell it, share it with third parties for marketing purposes, or do anything weird with it. That's it.

What I collect

When you subscribe to Self Disciplined, I collect your email address. If you contact me directly at camilo@cizambra.com, I'll have your name and email as part of that conversation.

Beyond that, I may collect behavioral metadata — things like which emails you open, what you click on, and how you engage with content across my platforms. I don't ask for this directly; it's gathered through the tools I use to send and manage communications. The purpose is purely to understand what's relevant to you so I can serve you better — not to profile you, not to sell insights about you, and not to share it outside my own organization.

How I use it

Your email is used to send you Self Disciplined — a free weekly newsletter on drift, return, and the practice of coherence. Occasionally, the newsletter includes mentions of my books, courses, or other work I'm doing. That's the full scope.

How your data is shared

I don't sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing purposes. Full stop.

Your email may be used across my own platforms and lists — including other businesses I own under Epicurean Digital, such as Return (my apparel store) and related ventures. This means you might occasionally hear from those channels too. Everything stays within my own organization; nothing goes outside it. You can unsubscribe from any list independently at any time.

My commitment to you: I will use your data wisely. That means no drowning you in emails that aren't relevant to you, no blasting every list every time something happens, and no treating your inbox like a billboard. It takes time to learn what actually matters to each person — but that's exactly what I'll use the data for: to get better at sending you things worth reading, and less of what isn't. You trusted me with your email — I take that seriously.

To support that commitment, I may collect additional metadata — such as engagement signals, content preferences, or behavioral patterns — to help with segmentation. This lets me understand what resonates with different people so I can tailor what reaches them. That data will not be sold or used for any purpose other than improving your experience and the relevance of what I send you.

Third-party services

Self Disciplined is hosted on Substack. Announcements are managed through Beehiiv. Both platforms store your email on their own infrastructure and have their own privacy policies — Substack and Beehiiv. This site itself doesn't set tracking cookies or use analytics that collect personal data.

Unsubscribing

Every email I send includes an unsubscribe link. Click it and you're off the list — no confirmation emails, no "are you sure?", no hard feelings. You can also email me directly at camilo@cizambra.com and I'll take care of it.

Your rights

If you're in the EU or UK, you have rights under GDPR — including the right to access, correct, or delete your data. If you want to exercise any of these rights, just email me and I'll sort it out promptly.

Changes to this policy

If I make any meaningful changes, I'll update the date at the top of this page. Nothing here is designed to be tricky — if something changes, it'll be clearly reflected.
