Theory Underground · Privacy

Your data, your call

Your trust is the whole point. Here’s exactly what we collect, why, and the control you keep — in plain language, not fine print. We never sell your data.

What we collect

  • Account basics — your email, a username you choose (this is your public name), and a password.
  • To take payment — your legal name and billing address as they appear on your card, handled through a payment processor. We don’t store full card numbers.
  • Only if you choose to share them — your postal address, phone number, and which kinds of messages you’d like.
  • How you use the site — what you watch, read, and buy, so your library works.

Why we collect it

  • To run your membership and deliver what you buy.
  • To send you only the things you’ve opted into — postal mail, texts, or email.
  • To make Theory Underground better.

Your consent, your choices

  • Sharing your postal address, phone, or message preferences is always optional and never pre-checked. Each is a separate choice, and we record when and to what you agreed.
  • Change any of it anytime from your profile.
  • Text STOP to end texts; every marketing email has an unsubscribe link; turn off postal mail whenever you like.

How we protect it

  • Access to your personal details is limited to what’s needed to run TU.
  • We never put personal data in links or on public pages.
  • Your legal name and billing details stay private — only the username you choose is ever public.

Your rights

This is our plain-language commitment and a working draft — we’ll keep it current as Theory Underground grows. It isn’t legal advice; we’ll have it reviewed before anything binding.
