Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you visit SamBent.com. The site is powered by Ghost(Pro), a managed hosting platform operated by the Ghost Foundation. Because of that, most technical and membership-related data is processed directly by Ghost and its integrated services rather than by me personally.

Information Collection
When you visit SamBent.com, some basic technical information is automatically recorded by Ghost(Pro). This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and which pages you visit. This information is collected solely to keep the website secure and functioning properly. I do not have direct access to or use this data for analytics, profiling, or advertising.

If you choose to become a member or subscribe for updates, you may provide an email address. That address is used only to manage your membership or send you the updates you requested. You can unsubscribe at any time, and your address will be removed from the mailing list.

Payments for memberships or subscriptions are processed through Stripe. All payment information is handled securely by Stripe and is never stored or seen by me. I receive only confirmation that a payment was completed.

Use of Information
Information collected through this site is used solely for the purposes of operating and maintaining the website, delivering content, processing memberships, and communicating with members who have opted in. I do not sell, rent, or share personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies
Ghost(Pro) uses essential cookies to maintain sessions, remember login status, and keep the site functional. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used on SamBent.com.

Data Retention
Data associated with memberships or subscriptions is retained only as long as necessary to provide the requested service. If you cancel your membership or unsubscribe, your information will be deleted within a reasonable time. Emails sent directly to me are kept only as long as needed to respond.

Security
Ghost(Pro) uses HTTPS and modern encryption standards to protect data in transit. Administrative access to the site is secured, and no external analytics or advertising scripts are embedded.

Third-Party Services
Ghost(Pro) and Stripe are the primary service providers that may process limited user data. Each maintains its own privacy and security practices in compliance with applicable data-protection laws.

Your Rights
If you would like to know what information exists about you or request deletion of any personal data connected to your membership, contact me using the email below. Requests will be handled promptly and honestly.
