Your information
Privacy Policy
Last updated · September 28, 2026
The Plot Twist respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and the choices available to you when you visit our website, subscribe to our emails, respond to a survey or interact with us through social media or advertising.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide, which may include your email address, name, newsletter preferences, survey answers and messages you send us. If you subscribe through a Meta lead form or another partner platform, we receive the information you submit through that form.
We may also receive limited technical and usage information, such as browser and device type, approximate location, pages viewed, referring page and interactions with our website or emails. We do not ask you to submit medical records, diagnoses or other detailed health information through our subscription forms.
How we use information
- To deliver newsletters, downloads and other content you request.
- To manage subscriptions and honor unsubscribe requests.
- To respond to questions, feedback and privacy requests.
- To operate, protect and improve the website and our editorial products.
- To understand which stories and campaigns are useful to readers.
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse.
Email subscriptions
We use Kit to manage subscribers, deliver the free guide and send newsletters. If you subscribe through a Meta lead form, your submitted information may be transferred to Kit for these purposes. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops future marketing messages, although we may retain limited records needed to document consent and honor your request.
Cookies, advertising and analytics
Our website may use essential technologies needed for hosting, security and basic operation. If we later activate nonessential analytics or advertising tools, including a Meta Pixel, we will update our Cookie Policy and provide any consent or opt-out choices required by applicable law. See our Cookie Policy for current details.
How information is shared
We may share information with service providers that help us host the website, deliver email, process forms, measure performance, prevent fraud or operate advertising campaigns. These providers may use information only to perform services for us or as otherwise permitted by their own terms and applicable law. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer. We do not sell reader email addresses.
Retention and security
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including legal, accounting, consent and security needs. No system is completely secure, but we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information we hold.
Your choices and rights
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the link in any message. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction or information about how your data is used. To make a request, email us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for cross-border transfers.
Children
The Plot Twist is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the website, service providers or legal requirements change. The “last updated” date will identify the current version.
