Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

Truth and the Brain is operated by Waypoints Communications. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through this website and correspondence about the podcast.

Information we collect

When you contact us, we receive the information you provide, including your name, email address, optional organization, reason for contacting us and message. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that we do not need to respond.

If you sign up for podcast updates, we collect your email address and records associated with your subscription. Contacting us does not automatically subscribe you to updates.

Our hosting provider, Squarespace, processes technical information such as IP address, browser and device information, referring pages and website activity. Squarespace analytics can record visits, pages viewed and interactions. See our Cookie Policy for details about cookies and the current website settings.

How we use information

We use information to operate and secure this website, respond to questions and guest suggestions, handle partnership or sponsorship inquiries, send updates you request, understand website use and meet legal obligations.

Service providers and external services

Squarespace hosts this website and supports its forms and analytics. Form notifications and correspondence may be processed through our Google-hosted email service. Google reCAPTCHA helps protect forms against spam and may process device, browser and interaction information.

Providers process information under their own applicable terms and privacy arrangements. Read the Squarespace Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy. We may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights and website security.

Links to social networks and podcast platforms take you to services operated by other organizations. Their policies govern information you provide to them.

Legal grounds where applicable

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on consent for requested marketing communications; legitimate interests in administering, securing and improving the website and responding to ordinary inquiries; steps requested before entering a contract where relevant; and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal.

How long we keep information

We retain inquiries for as long as needed to respond, manage follow-up and maintain appropriate business records. Subscription information is retained while you wish to receive updates; limited suppression records may be kept to honor an opt-out. Other records may be retained where required by law or needed to resolve disputes. Technical data retention depends on the provider, feature and configuration.

International processing

We are based in the United States. Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. See provider policies for their international transfer arrangements and safeguards.

Your choices and rights

You can request that we stop sending podcast updates by emailing info@truthandthebrain.com. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to access, correct or delete information, restrict or object to processing, receive portable information, or withdraw consent. Some requests are subject to exceptions and legal retention requirements.

Email us to make a request. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity. Where applicable, you may complain to your local data protection authority.

Security and children

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, although no website or email service can guarantee complete security. This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the website and its services change. The date above identifies the latest revision. For privacy questions, contact Waypoints Communications using the details above.
