You agree to the privacy policy below, and the Privacy Policy for Substack, the technology provider.
Your trust matters more than your clicks. When you pull up a chair here, you’re not just another name on a list; you’re part of the crew. I take that seriously. Here’s how I handle your information, now and in the future.
1. Your info stays here. If you sign up, your email and any other details you give me are used only to send you Ask Uncle Gary content or things you’ve agreed to receive. I won’t sell it, trade it, or hand it over to SoCal Mag or anyone else without your say‑so.
2. No funny business. I don’t track you across the internet, and I’m not interested in what you had for lunch unless you tell me yourself. Like most websites, Substack collects basic analytics (opens, clicks, etc.) so I can see what’s working and what’s not.
3. You’re in control. You can unsubscribe anytime, and your info will be removed from my list. No guilt trips, no hoops to jump through.
4. If things change, you’ll know. If I ever start selling merch, offering coaching, or partnering with others in a way that means sharing your info, you’ll hear it from me first, in plain English, not buried in legal gobbledygook.
5. Respect goes both ways. I’ll protect your privacy, and I expect you to respect the privacy of others in this community. No sharing other people’s stories or details without their permission.
Bottom line: This column is built on trust, respect, and a little humor. I’ll keep my side of the street clean, and I’ll tell you if anything changes.
Thank you, Uncle Gary
