Section 01

AI Disclosure

Madiline uses artificial intelligence as a research and co-writing tool. AI assists with drafting, research, summarisation, and editorial development. All published content is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human editor before publication. Editorial judgment, factual verification, and publishing decisions remain human responsibilities at every stage.

We believe transparency about AI use is part of good editorial practice. If you have questions about how AI contributes to specific content, contact us at hello@madiline.com.

Privacy Policy

What we collect

We collect only what is necessary to operate the platform. When you create a membership or subscribe to our newsletter we collect your name and email address. We collect standard server logs including IP address and browser type for security purposes. If you purchase a product we collect only the information required to process that transaction. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and never touches Madiline systems.

Behavioral data collection

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Google Tag Manager to collect behavioral data about how readers engage with content on madiline.com. This includes scroll depth, pages visited, content categories read, geographic origin, and return visit patterns. This data is collected anonymously, is not linked to individual identities, and is used solely to understand editorial performance and reader demand patterns. It is stored in Google infrastructure and governed by Google's data processing terms. We also use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool that collects aggregate traffic data without cookies and without storing personal identifiers.

How we use it

We use your information to deliver the newsletter, manage your membership, process purchases, and occasionally communicate platform updates. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Ever.

Data storage

Member data is stored securely via Ghost. Payment information is handled entirely by Stripe. Neither service is operated by Madiline and each operates under its own security standards. We do not store payment data on Madiline systems.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting hello@madiline.com. European residents have additional rights under GDPR. Canadian residents have rights under PIPEDA. We will respond to all requests within 30 days.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or any cookies that share your data with third parties beyond the services listed above.

How to opt out

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling session cookies will prevent you from staying logged in to your account. Google Analytics cookies can be opted out of via Google Analytics opt-out tools. Plausible Analytics requires no opt-out as it places no cookies.
