Privacy Statement
We respect your privacy. This is a personal website, and we aim to collect as little information as possible. You should understand that electronic transmissions via the Internet are not necessarily secure from interception, and so we cannot guarantee the security or confidentiality of such transmissions.
You may browse the Pierre Zimmerman Site without providing any personally identifiable information. We do not advise sharing sensitive personal or health information with us through this Website, as we cannot guarantee its security. We do not obtain personal information about you unless you choose to provide it — for example, by subscribing to updates or by emailing us directly.
Information We Collect
We keep data collection to a minimum:
- We do not track you. We do not use analytics tools, advertising trackers, or similar technologies on this Site to collect personal information about visitors or to build a profile of your activity.
- Newsletter subscriptions. The only personal information we collect is your email address, and only if you voluntarily choose to subscribe to Pierre Zimmerman’s newsletter, which is hosted and managed through Substack. If you subscribe, your email address and related subscription data are collected and processed by Substack under Substack’s own Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which we encourage you to review at substack.com.
- Direct email. If you email us directly, we will receive your email address and the contents of your message solely in order to read and respond to you.
Cookies, Tracking & Server Logs
This Site does not use cookies, web beacons, pixels, analytics, or similar technologies to track you or to monitor your browsing. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Please note that our website host and the third-party services we rely on (such as Substack) may automatically log standard technical information — for example, IP addresses — as a normal part of operating and securing their services. Any such processing is carried out by those providers under their own privacy policies, not by us. If a third-party feature (such as an embedded Substack subscription form) appears on the Site, that third party may set its own cookies, which you can manage through your browser settings.
How We Use Information
We use the limited information you choose to provide only to:
- Read and respond to messages and inquiries you send us; and
- Deliver newsletter updates to subscribers through Substack, if you have chosen to subscribe.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or advertising.
Third-Party Services
This Site relies on a small number of third-party providers to function — primarily our website host and Substack (for newsletter subscriptions and delivery). These providers process information under their own privacy policies. We do not use advertising or analytics networks to profile visitors, and we do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information only where required to do so by law, or where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pierre Zimmerman or others.
Your Choices & Data Retention
You remain in control of the limited information we hold. If you subscribed to the newsletter, you may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email or through your Substack account; Substack manages the storage and deletion of subscriber data. If you emailed us, you may ask us to delete your message and contact details, and we will do so within a reasonable time, subject to applicable law. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above.
Children’s Privacy
This Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.
Your Privacy Rights (State & International Users)
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) or the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These may include the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because most subscriber data is held by Substack, some requests may be directed to Substack. To exercise any applicable right, please contact us at the email below, and we will respond as required by applicable law.
