The Pole Shift / Website information
Privacy
What happens when you browse, get in touch, or open Theory Board.
Browsing the website
You do not need an account to browse this website. Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes technical request information to deliver and protect the site. See Vercel's privacy notice for its practices.
Contact messages
The contact form sends your email address and message, plus any optional name and topic you provide, through FormSubmit to our inbox. We use those details to read and respond to your inquiry. Messages may remain in our email correspondence. Please do not send passwords, payment information, or sensitive personal documents.
See FormSubmit's privacy information. You can also email us directly instead of using the form.
YouTube and other external services
Episode thumbnails come from YouTube and are prepared and cached through our hosting provider when possible. If that delivery fails, your browser may load the image directly from YouTube's image servers. The featured player loads YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed only when you choose Watch here. Playback starts when you press Play in the YouTube player, not when you open or retry it. YouTube processes use of its player under its own privacy policies. No player loads or plays automatically when you open the page. Watching on YouTube or following a social link opens the provider's website, where its own privacy settings and policies apply.
Theory Board
Theory Board is a separate companion app. Its local saves, cloud accounts, public profiles, and shared boards are described in the Theory Board privacy information. Opening the app does not automatically publish your work.
Questions or requests
Contact info@thepoleshift.com with privacy questions or requests concerning a message you sent us. We will review requests for access, correction, or deletion of that correspondence.
