Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Atkinson Group LLC, which operates the Pop Apologists podcast, website, and related social media accounts ("Pop Apologists," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, listen to our content, subscribe to premium content, or interact with us on third-party platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Information you provide: your email address and message contents when you contact us, subscribe, or apply for opportunities.
  • Information collected automatically: device and browser type, IP address, pages viewed, referring links, and similar usage data, collected through cookies and analytics tools.
  • Information from third-party platforms: when you comment on, message, or otherwise interact with our accounts on services like Instagram, YouTube, or Spotify, we may receive information those platforms make available to us, such as your username, the content of your message or comment, and your interaction with our posts.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website, podcast, and content;
  • Respond to your comments, messages, and requests — including sending you links or content you ask for;
  • Provide and manage premium subscriptions and related communications;
  • Understand how our content is discovered and used, and measure the effectiveness of our channels;
  • Protect the security and integrity of our services and comply with legal obligations.

3. Social Media and Automated Messaging

When you comment on or send a message to our social media accounts (for example, on Instagram), we may use automated tools to respond to you, including replying with a link you have requested. We access and use this information solely to respond to you and to operate our content and community.

We do not sell this information, and we do not use it for any purpose unrelated to responding to your interaction with us. Information obtained through a platform's API is handled in accordance with that platform's terms and policies.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies, and third-party analytics providers, to understand site traffic and usage. We may also use link parameters (such as UTM tags) to understand which channels visitors arrive from. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate our website, analytics, email, hosting, and podcast or subscription platforms, under obligations of confidentiality;
  • Third-party platforms you choose to interact with (such as podcast and subscription providers), subject to their own privacy policies;
  • Authorities or others when required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property;
  • A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide our services, respond to you, and comply with our legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights — including requesting deletion of your data — please email support@popapologists.com. See our Data Deletion page for details on how to request deletion.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website and content may link to third-party sites and services that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. International Users

We operate from the United States (Puerto Rico). If you access our services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
