Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 15 May 2026

Overview

Data Revolution Podcast (https://datarevolution.tech) is a digital media platform providing blog content, podcasts, and video media. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our subscribers, listeners, and guests in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to deliver our content and manage our community:

Subscriber & Member Data: When you sign up, we collect your name and email address via the Ghost CMS to manage your subscription and provide access to member-only content.
Engagement Data: Comments left on articles, including your IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.
Guest & Contributor Data: If you appear as a guest on our podcast or contribute a guest post, we collect your professional bio, social media handles, and voice/video recordings.
Technical Data: Cookies and tracking pixels that tell us how you interact with our newsletter and website.

How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

Deliver the Newsletter: Send podcast show notes, blog updates, and community announcements.
Podcast Production: Edit, publish, and promote podcast episodes featuring our guests.
Analytics: Use de-identified, aggregate data to understand which topics resonate most with our audience.
Security: Detect and prevent fraudulent sign-ups or malicious comments.

The Ghost Platform & Third Parties

Our website is powered by Ghost. Your data is processed as follows:
Ghost CMS: Manages our member database and sends our newsletters. Their privacy practices align with global standards for data protection.
Payments: If we offer paid subscriptions, payments are processed via Stripe. We do not store your credit card details on our servers.
Embedded Content: Articles may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Spotify players). Interacting with these embeds is the same as visiting those platforms directly; they may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies.

Disclosure and Overseas Transfers

We do not sell your personal information. However, because we use global platforms like Ghost and various podcast hosting services, your data may be stored on servers located in the United States or other international jurisdictions. By using this site, you consent to these transfers under the protection of the APPs.

Data Retention

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
Subscribers: We retain your information for as long as your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, we may retain minimal data to ensure we do not contact you again.
Guest Media: Podcast recordings and associated blog posts are intended to be a permanent public record of the show.

Your Rights (Access and Deletion)

In accordance with Australian law, you have the right to:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: Ask us to update inaccurate information.
Erasure: Request that we delete your member account or comments (subject to legal or administrative requirements).
Opt-out: You can click "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of any email we send to stop receiving the newsletter immediately.
