Privacy Policy of The Radical Commons & The Radical Dispatches

Effective Date: September 1, 2025

The Radical Commons (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. In an ideal world, we'd all be living analog lives and would not even need this section or even this website. We try our best to not be part of the internet culture we critisize. This means no tracking, no collecting dta behind your back, no invasive emails etc. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws.

WHAT WE COLLECT

- Information you give us: When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contribution, or contact us, we collect the data you choose to share (name, email address, content you submit).
- **Automatic information**: Like most websites, we use basic analytics (privacy-friendly, no invasive tracking) to understand site performance. This may include general geo-location (country), browser type, and page views, anonymized everywhere.
- Cookies: Our site may use cookies for functionality (e.g. saving language preferences). You can disable cookies in your browser.

YOUR DATA

- To respond to your inquiries and process your submissions.
- To manage your subscription to newsletters or updates.
- To improve our platform and understand how people use it (anaonymized)
- To comply with legal obligations.

We never sell, trade, or rent your data. We only share information with the service provider who helps us run this platform (newsletter software), under strict data protection agreements.

THE GDPR COMPLIANCE AKA THE BARE MINIMUM

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

- Access, correct, or delete your data.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
- Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@theradicalcommons.com.

DATA RETENTION

We keep your personal data only as long as needed to fulfill its purpose, or as required by law. You can request deletion at any time.

SECURITY

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

CHANGES

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post changes on this page with a new “effective date.”
