LAST UPDATED: JUNE 2026
At Gathered Sats, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it,

with your personal information.

4. Who We Share Your Information With
We share the minimum necessary information with the following trusted services that help us operate:

personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe, which maintains PCI DSS compliance. We do not store credit
card numbers or bank account details.
We retain your personal information for as long as you are a subscriber, plus a reasonable period afterward for
