Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 7, 2026

We believe the way we operate should reflect the work we do helping security and privacy professionals build influence and trust. That means no creepy tracking and no unnecessary data collection.

This Privacy Notice describes our data collection and use practices on the following platforms: 

  • Our website DiscernibleInc.com 
  • Our newsletters and subscription services, if you sign up for them
  • Discernible Slack communities

This Privacy Notice does not apply to our professional services, which are governed by the contract we sign with institutions for specific engagements.

What Do We Collect?

If you browse our website, we collect data through Ghost's native analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. Specifically, we track:

  • web traffic and page views (cookie-free, first-party, powered by Tinybird)
  • newsletter open rates
  • newsletter link clicks
  • member sources (the traffic sources and posts that drive subscriber growth)
  • outbound link activity to understand which external links are most useful to our audience.

Ghost's web analytics do not use cookies or persistent browser storage to identify you across sessions. When you are logged in as a member, Ghost may record which posts you view to help us understand what content is most relevant. This data is never shared with third parties. Ghost's privacy policy is available on their website here.

If you buy a subscription from our website, our payment processor Stripe, will collect information needed to manage that transaction. Their privacy policy is available on their website here. 

If you sign up for any of our Slack communities, we collect your name, email address, username, and any content or information you choose to disclose in the Slack community. Only share what you’re comfortable with because other community members may see it, too. Slack also has its own privacy policy available here.

How Do We Use It? 

Discernible is a deliberately small business. We're not in the business of large-scale data analytics, marketing, or exploiting personal data. We use your information to: 

  • Deliver our services and digital products/content
  • Process purchases
  • Send our newsletter and track engagement
  • Support activity in our Slack community

Who Do We Share Your Data With

We share or manage your data with the following services: 

  • Ghost (website hosting, newsletter, and membership management)
  • Stripe (payment processing)
  • Slack (community and subscriber engagement)
  • Professional advisors, including legal and accounting, for compliance purposes

If we receive a subpoena or similar order from law enforcement or the government, we may be required to share your data with them after working with our legal counsel to ensure the request is legal and adequately narrow. We may also share your data in connection with a sale, acquisition, or merger of Discernible with another business.

Sale or Sharing of Sensitive Personal Data

We don't collect sensitive personal data and will never sell your data to anyone. We recommend you avoid sharing sensitive personal data in our Slack communities.

Do Not Track

We do not implement Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals because our website analytics are intentionally designed to be privacy-protective. Ghost's native analytics are cookie-free and do not use persistent tracking across sessions or devices, which means there is nothing to opt out of in the traditional sense.

Children

We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 18. You must be 18 to sign up for our Slack communities. If we have inadvertently collected the information of a child under the age of 18 and you would like to contact us to remove your data, please contact us at info [at] DiscernibleInc.com.

Your Rights

You can email us info [at] DiscernibleInc.com to:  

  • Request to receive a copy of your data
  • Correct any incorrect data we have on you
  • Delete your data from our systems, subject to our legal retention requirements

If you sign up for our newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the newsletter or emailing us. 

If you wish to leave the Slack community, please use the app's features to manage your information. You may also email us for assistance. 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights.

Storage and Security

We store your data on our servers in the United States. We may access your information from anywhere in the world to provide the services you request. We implement data retention policies on our services to minimize the period of time we store your data. However, some of our third-party suppliers may retain your data longer than our internally managed systems. We are required to retain some data to comply with laws or protect ourselves in the event of litigation. 

As a small business, we select platforms and services that have industry-standard security in place. However, no security program or control is 100% foolproof.  

Discernible uses various technologies to provide its services. The following companies have their own privacy notices that govern how they use data when you interact with them. 

If you have any questions about how those platforms are using your information, please review their privacy notices for more information. 

From time to time, Discernible content, including newsletters and Slack communities, may contain links to third-party websites or apps. Discernible is not responsible for the content and data practices of those sites and pages that you may visit if you click on those links. 

Updates

We may update this policy at any time and will notify you as required by law.
