Privacy Statement

Effective Date: 2025-05-28

The Speakeasy Network (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we handle data collected through www.speakeasynetwork.ca.

1. What We Collect

We may collect:

  • Personal Information — like your name and email address — when you subscribe to updates, contact us, make a purchase, or fill out forms on our site.

  • Non-Personal Information — such as browser type, pages visited, and IP address — to help us understand how people are using the site and improve functionality.

We do not sell or lease your information.

2. How We Use It

We use your information to:

  • Respond to messages or inquiries

  • Process purchases and deliver products

  • Send updates or newsletters (with your consent)

  • Improve our content, features, and outreach

  • Monitor site performance and community engagement

We may also track basic analytics related to The Speakeasy Podcast through embedded players or platforms. This helps us understand which topics resonate most with our audience.

You can unsubscribe from communications at any time.

3. Sharing, Payments & Security

We may share limited information with trusted third-party services (e.g., email platforms, analytics tools) to help us operate the website effectively. These providers are required to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.

When you make a purchase, your payment is processed by a secure third-party provider (like Stripe, PayPal, or Shopify). We do not store or have access to your full credit card information. All transactions are encrypted and handled in accordance with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).

We also take reasonable precautions to protect the personal data we do store — but no system is ever 100% secure, so we encourage you to share information wisely.

4. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect or store personal information from children.

5. Links to Other Sites

We may share links to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are beyond our control. If you follow those links, we encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any information.

Episodes of The Speakeasy Podcast may be embedded on our site from platforms like Spotify, YouTube, or Buzzsprout. These services may collect usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

6. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services evolve. Any changes will be posted here, along with an updated effective date.

We acknowledge that The Speakeasy Podcast is produced on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. This land is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Métis peoples — the original caretakers of this place.

We honour the enduring presence, wisdom, and strength of all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples across Turtle Island. We recognize the role of Indigenous knowledge keepers and guardians in protecting lands, waters, and communities — not just here, but across Canada.

This acknowledgment is not a formality. It’s a commitment to listen, to learn, and to stand in solidarity with Indigenous voices, past, present, and future.
