Last Updated: July 15, 2026
At Story Compass, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it secure.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum amount of information necessary to deliver our services, process payments, and communicate with you.
Contact Information: Your name, email address, phone number, and physical mailing address (when you register for an event, purchase a book, or sign up for our newsletter).
Billing Information: Your payment card details are processed securely through our third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Squarespace Payments). We do not store your raw credit card data on our servers.
Account Information: If you create an account on our website or future digital applications, we collect your login credentials and profile preferences.
Device & Usage Data: Basic technical information (such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited on our site) collected automatically via cookies to help our website function smoothly.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
Process your registrations, deliver physical and digital products, and manage your Circle membership billing.
Send you essential transaction emails, such as order confirmations and cohort welcome details.
Send you occasional newsletters, book updates, or community announcements (only if you have voluntarily opted-in). You can unsubscribe at any time.
Improve our website, offerings, and future digital applications.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, trade, or lease your personal information to third parties.
We only share your data with trusted service providers who help us run our business (such as our website host, email newsletter platform, and payment processors). These platforms are legally required to keep your information secure and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use standard cookies to analyze website traffic, remember your login state, and ensure our shopping cart functions correctly. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, though doing so may prevent certain features of our site from working.
5. Security of Your Information
We implement industry-standard security measures (including SSL encryption) to protect your personal data during transmission and storage. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to that data, or ask us to delete your personal information entirely. To make a request, please contact us at dvollmer@luma.ventures.
