• Analyzing engagement metrics to improve the publication.

Sharing of Data

We respect your privacy and will never sell or share your personal information with third parties, except:

• Substack Platform: Your data is managed and stored securely by Substack, which adheres to its own privacy policies.

• Legal Obligations: If required by law to comply with legal processes or prevent harm.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data. However, no online platform can guarantee complete security.

Cookies and Tracking

The Genospectra Lens may use cookies or similar tracking technologies provided through Substack’s platform to improve your experience. These help us understand user behavior and optimize content delivery.

Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

7. Sponsored Access

Accessibility is a core principle of The Genospectra Lens. Sponsored access is available for those who find the cost of a paid subscription to be a barrier. No additional information is required beyond what is provided through a free subscription.

Requesting sponsorship is the only requirement. We do not assess or determine financial need—you are the sole judge of your circumstances. This ensures that access to critical knowledge and tools remains inclusive and respectful of individual dignity.

To request sponsored access, simply email us at Genospectra@gmail.com

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. Subscribers will be notified of significant updates via email or announcements on the platform.
