Privacy Policy
The New Talent Playbook
Effective date: September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how [Legal operator name], operating The New Talent Playbook (“we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and shares personal information through https://www.thenewtalentplaybookpodcast.com/ (the “Website”) and our related newsletter. Our newsletter is delivered through Substack. This policy covers our own practices; third-party services have their own privacy policies.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide, such as your name and email address when you subscribe, and the information you submit through contact forms, guest applications, or reviews. Please do not include sensitive personal information in these submissions.
The Website and its service providers may collect technical and usage information, including IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referral sources, and interactions with embedded content. Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies may be used for site functionality, analytics, and advertising measurement. Newsletter platforms may also record delivery, opens, clicks, and subscription preferences, subject to their settings and your choices.
How we use information
We use personal information to provide the Website and newsletter, respond to inquiries, evaluate guest applications, manage subscriptions, understand how our content is used, improve our services, protect against misuse, and meet legal obligations. Newsletter emails may include new episodes, leadership and talent insights, resources, event announcements, and occasional promotional content related to the podcast.
Newsletter subscriptions through Substack
When you enter your email address in a newsletter signup form that clearly identifies our Substack newsletter and click “Subscribe,” you are asking to be subscribed to The New Talent Playbook newsletter on Substack. We will transfer your email address and, if provided, your name to Substack to create and manage that subscription and deliver newsletter emails.
Substack processes subscriber information under its own Privacy Policy, available at https://substack.com/privacy. Your use of Substack features is also subject to its applicable terms. Signing up for our newsletter does not enroll you in a paid subscription; any paid offering would require a separate purchase.
Visiting the Website, listening to an episode, contacting us, submitting a review, or applying to be a guest does not by itself subscribe you to the newsletter. Those forms must offer a separate newsletter opt-in if they are used to collect subscribers.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in newsletter emails or by contacting us at [Privacy contact email]. Unsubscribing stops newsletter emails but does not necessarily delete information retained for legal, security, or suppression-list purposes. It also does not delete a separate Substack account or other publications you follow.
How information is shared
We share information with providers that help operate the Website, deliver the newsletter, host content, manage forms, analyze usage, and maintain security. These providers include our website platform, Podpage, and our newsletter platform, Substack. Depending on the features you use and the tracking tools enabled, information may also be processed by video, podcast, analytics, and advertising platforms.
Information submitted for public display, such as a review, may appear on the Website with the name or other identifying details you provide. Do not submit information for public display that you want to keep private. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of the business, subject to applicable law.
[Before publication, insert an accurate statement about whether personal information is sold, shared for cross-context behavioral advertising, or used for targeted advertising, and describe any legally required opt-out mechanism. Confirm whether sponsor access to subscriber information occurs. Newsletter subscription alone does not authorize enrollment in a sponsor’s separate mailing list.]
Retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including managing active subscriptions, responding to requests, complying with legal obligations, and maintaining records of opt-outs. Retention periods vary by information type and purpose. We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information, but no online service or transmission method is completely secure.
Privacy choices and contact
Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your information, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain processing. To make a request, contact [Privacy contact email]. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Where available, you may also complain to your local data protection authority. Requests concerning information held independently by Substack should be directed to Substack.
International processing and children
Our service providers may process information in the United States or other countries with different data protection laws. Where required, we use the safeguards required by applicable law for international transfers. The Website and newsletter are intended for business audiences and are not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us so we can address it.
Policy updates and contact
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will revise the effective date and provide additional notice when required. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to The New Talent Playbook, at info@thenewtalentplaybook.com, or through https://www.thenewtalentplaybookpodcast.com/contact/.

Reviews and other submissions
You retain ownership of material you submit. When you submit a review or other content expressly intended for publication, you grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and make reasonable formatting edits to it for the purpose for which it was submitted. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions necessary to submit it.
Private contact messages are not treated as permission to publish. Guest interviews, recordings, and promotional use of a guest’s name or likeness should be covered by a separate guest release. Submitting a guest application does not guarantee an appearance.
Newsletter subscriptions
Subscribing through a newsletter form that identifies The New Talent Playbook newsletter on Substack authorizes us to add your email address and, if provided, your name to that publication’s subscriber list. The newsletter may include episodes, insights, resources, events, and related promotional content. You may unsubscribe at any time through the link in newsletter emails. See our Privacy Policy for details about how subscriber information is handled.
Newsletter enrollment occurs through the signup action described on the form. General Website use or acceptance of these terms does not itself enroll you. Use of Substack features is subject to Substack’s applicable terms and privacy policy. A free newsletter signup does not authorize payment for any paid offering.
Third party platforms and sponsors
The Website may link to or embed services such as Substack, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and sponsor websites. We do not control their content, availability, security, or practices. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies.
The podcast may include sponsored messages and promotional content. Sponsorship does not guarantee the quality or suitability of a sponsor’s products or services. Any purchase or agreement with a sponsor is between you and that sponsor.
Availability and disclaimers
We may update, suspend, or discontinue Website features or content. We aim to provide useful and accurate information, but content may contain errors, become outdated, or omit relevant context. To the extent permitted by law, the Website and content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of uninterrupted availability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or freedom from errors.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website or your reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of [State and country], without overriding any mandatory rights or protections available under applicable law. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
We may revise these terms and update the effective date. Material changes will be communicated when required by law. Changes apply prospectively, subject to applicable notice and acceptance requirements.
