Legal.
Privacy, terms, and how to reach us. Plain English up top, the longer text below. We don't sell your data, we don't run third-party trackers, and you can leave anytime.
§01
Privacy.
What we collect
Roster signups. First name, email address, and ZIP code (optional). We use these to send the Sunday Dispatch and keep an honest live count of Roster members.
Cell members. Everything in the Roster signup, plus billing information collected and processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number — Stripe holds the payment data, we hold the membership record.
Server logs. Standard request logs — IP address, user-agent, timestamp — collected by our hosting and CDN providers (Ghost and Cloudflare) for security and rate-limiting purposes. We don't use these for tracking or profiling.
What we don't collect
We do not run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, third-party marketing trackers, or any other cross-site profiling tools. We do not use behavioral advertising. We do not buy or sell email lists, ever.
Who we share it with
We share data only with the service providers we need to operate — currently Ghost (membership and email), Stripe (payment processing), and Cloudflare (DNS and CDN). When the shop opens in Phase 02, we'll add Shopify and Printful for fulfillment. We will update this list when it changes.
How long we keep it
Roster and Cell member data is kept while you're an active member, plus 12 months after cancellation for accounting and dispute resolution. Server logs are retained per provider defaults (Ghost and Cloudflare, typically 30 days).
Your rights
You can request a copy of everything we have on you, request corrections, or request deletion at any time, by emailing cancelclankers@cancelclankers.com. We aim to respond within 30 days. Cell members can also self-cancel from Settings → Billing.
Cookies
We use essential session cookies (login state, membership session) and nothing else. No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no third-party cookies. There's no cookie banner because there's nothing to consent to.
§02
Terms.
Acceptable use
Don't scrape the site, mass-download our content, impersonate Cancel Clankers or its members, harass other Roster or Cell members, or use the brand's voice or marks to push hate, violence, or anything that targets people for who they are. We reserve the right to revoke access — including paid Cell membership, prorated — for any of the above.
Cell membership
Billing. Cell membership is $8 per month or $80 per year, billed in advance through Stripe. Prices may change with notice; existing members keep their current rate through the end of their billing cycle.
Cancellation. Cancel anytime from Settings → Billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle — no surprise charges, no clawback, no guilt-trip email.
Refunds. We don't issue refunds on renewed terms. If something has gone wrong, email us and we'll make it right within reason.
Brand marks & press assets
The X-mark, wordmark, round stamp, Vigilant Eagle, "Cancel Clankers" name, "Stay Human" tagline, and all associated brand visuals are owned by Cancel Clankers and not licensed for commercial use without written permission.
Editorial use of brand assets — for journalism, podcasts, books, academic work — is welcome and does not require permission, provided the marks are used as supplied (no recoloring, no cropping into circles, no compositing onto unrelated subjects). Brand kit assets are available at /press.
Content
Dispatch issues, manifesto text, and brand photography are © Cancel Clankers. Free issues may be quoted under fair use (excerpts, attribution, link back). Paid issues are for Cell members and not for redistribution.
Disclaimers
Cancel Clankers publishes commentary, journalism, and opinion. Nothing on this site is legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, or professional counseling. The site is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cancel Clankers is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the site, the Dispatch, the Cell, or the Shop.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Kentucky, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state and federal courts of Hardin County, Kentucky.
Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced in the Dispatch with at least 14 days' notice before they take effect. The Last Updated date below tracks every revision.
