Privacy

How we handle your data

Last updated: April 3, 2026

The Architect respects your sovereignty — digital and otherwise. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how you can control it. We keep things minimal by design.

What We Collect

Email & Language Preference

When you subscribe to the Inner Circle, we store your email address and your language preference (English or Bulgarian). This is used solely to send you relevant content.

Payment Information

Grimoire purchases are processed entirely by Stripe. We never see, store, or handle your credit card details. We only receive confirmation of a completed payment along with the email you provided at checkout.

Basic Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. No personal data is sold, shared, or used for advertising — ever.

How We Use Your Data

  • To send you weekly teachings, Lexicon updates, and Grimoire notifications
  • To deliver purchased digital products (the Grimoire PDF)
  • To improve the platform based on aggregate usage patterns
  • To communicate important changes to the platform or your subscription

Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard infrastructure:

  • Subscriber data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security policies
  • All connections are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
  • Payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified provider

Your Rights

  • Unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email
  • Request a copy of all data we hold about you
  • Request complete deletion of your data from our systems
  • For any data request, email gnosis@send.stefansalkimia.com

Third-Party Services

We use a minimal set of trusted services to operate the platform:

  • Stripe — payment processing (their privacy policy applies to payment data)
  • Resend — email delivery (processes your email address for sending)
  • Vercel — website hosting (standard web server logs)

Content Disclaimer

The content on The Architect is for educational and exploratory purposes. It draws from spiritual, philosophical, and esoteric traditions and should not be taken as medical, psychological, or financial advice. Always consult qualified professionals for health, mental health, or financial decisions. Your inner journey is your own responsibility.
