Privacy Policy for Proud Boomer Wellness

Last updated: May 2026

I will keep this straightforward. You came here to read about fitness and health, not to wade through legal language. So here is what you need to know about how your information is handled at Proud Boomer Wellness.

Who is behind this publication?

Proud Boomer Wellness is written and operated by John Harris, a NASM Certified Wellness Coach and Navy veteran publishing at proudboomerwellness.substack.com. If you have questions about your data or this policy, you can reach me directly at john@theProudBoomer.com. I read my email and I respond.

What information is collected and why

When you subscribe, Substack collects your email address and, if you become a paid subscriber, your payment information. I can see your email address and basic engagement data, things like whether you opened a post or clicked a link. This helps me understand what content is useful to you so I can write more of it.

I do not ask for more than I need. I am not building profiles on you. I am a writer who wants to reach readers, full stop.

Email and newsletter handling

Your email address is used to send you Proud Boomer Wellness content you subscribed to receive. That includes free posts, paid posts if you are a paid subscriber, and occasional announcements about the publication. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. No hoops, no guilt trip, no waiting period.

I do not use your email address to contact you outside of Substack, and I do not add subscribers to any other lists without permission.

Cookies and analytics

Substack uses cookies and basic analytics tools to help the platform function and to give publishers like me general data about how content performs. This is standard for any web platform. I do not install additional tracking tools, run separate analytics software, or use third-party pixels on this publication.

If you want the full technical picture of how Substack handles cookies and tracking, you can review Substack’s own privacy policy at substack.com/privacy.

Third parties and data sharing

I do not sell your data. I do not share your email address or personal information with advertisers, sponsors, or any outside parties for marketing purposes. The only third party with access to your subscription data is Substack itself, which operates the platform this publication runs on. Paid subscriber payment processing is handled by Stripe, which has its own privacy and security standards.

That is the whole list. No silent partners, no data brokers, no fine print exceptions.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe at any time. You can request that your account be deleted by contacting Substack support or by reaching me directly and I will help you navigate it. If you are in the EU or California, you may have additional rights under GDPR or CCPA. I will honor reasonable requests. Just ask.

Changes to this policy

If something meaningful changes here, I will update this page and note the date at the top. I am not going to bury changes or hope you miss them. That is not how I operate.
