Last updated: 21 September 2026

1. Who we are

The Practice of Adaptive Governance is published through adaptivegovernance.org by AI Career Pro, ABN 46 680 399 259 (“we”, “us”, “our”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information in connection with The Practice of Adaptive Governance, including when you subscribe to, read, comment on, reply to, or otherwise interact with the publication.

For privacy questions or requests, contact us at learn@aicareer.pro.

2. How Substack fits in

The Practice of Adaptive Governance is hosted using Substack.

Substack provides the technology used to host the publication, manage subscriptions, deliver emails and provide publication analytics and community features. We are responsible for the subscriber and reader information we use for our own publishing activities. Substack also processes information for its own purposes under its own Privacy Policy.

Substack’s Privacy Policy applies alongside this policy.

3. Information we may receive

Depending on how you interact with the publication, we may receive or have access to information including:

• your email address;

• your name or Substack display name;

• your subscription status and subscription history;

• information you choose to provide through surveys, forms, replies or correspondence;

• comments, reactions and other contributions you make to the publication;

• engagement information made available by Substack, such as whether emails are opened or links are clicked; and

• limited technical, geographic or usage information made available through Substack.

If paid subscriptions or other paid services are offered, payment information is processed by Substack, Stripe or their payment providers. We do not receive or store your complete payment-card details.

4. How we use your information

We may use personal information to:

• provide and administer the publication and your subscription;

• send you articles, newsletters and other communications you have subscribed to;

• respond to questions, correspondence and support requests;

• enable and moderate comments and other community features;

• understand readership and engagement and improve the publication;

• protect the publication from abuse, fraud and security threats;

• meet legal, accounting and regulatory obligations; and

• where you have separately opted in, we may also contact you about related publications, events, courses or services..

You can unsubscribe from publication and marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in the email.

5. Sharing and service providers

We may disclose personal information to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the publication and associated services.

Our principal technology provider is Substack. Substack and its service providers may process or store personal information outside Australia, including in the United States.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

If we introduce additional service providers that materially change how subscriber information is handled, we will update this policy as appropriate.

6. Public contributions

Information you post publicly, including comments or other community contributions, may be visible to other readers or the public.

Please do not post confidential, sensitive or personal information that you do not want others to see. Other people may copy or share material that you post publicly, and we cannot control their subsequent use of it.

We may moderate or remove contributions where reasonably necessary to operate the publication or enforce applicable rules.

7. Retention and security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the publication, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.

Information held by Substack is also subject to Substack’s retention practices.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

8. Your choices and privacy rights

You can unsubscribe from publication emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in an email or through your Substack account.

You may contact us to request access to or correction of personal information that we hold about you.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may also have additional rights, including rights to deletion, restriction, portability or objection to certain processing.

Some information relating to your Substack account is controlled directly through Substack and requests relating to that information may need to be made to Substack.

9. Complaints

If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, contact us at learn@aicareer.pro. We will consider the issue, investigate where appropriate and respond within a reasonable period.

If Australian privacy law applies and you are not satisfied with our response, you may be entitled to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. If privacy law in another jurisdiction applies to you, you may also have the right to complain to the relevant privacy or data-protection authority.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, services or legal obligations change. The current version will be published on this page with its latest revision date.
