Chasing the Unicorn (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a podcast and daily American whiskey publication produced by Drunken Unicorn Productions. This policy explains what we collect when you visit chasingtheunicornpodcast.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Plain English first.
What we collect
When you subscribe or contact us:
- Your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter or the American Whiskey Industry Brief.
- Anything you send through the contact form or by email — your name, your message, and any details you choose to share.
When you comment, if commenting is enabled:
- Your name, email, and comment content, plus your IP address and browser information (standard spam prevention).
Automatically, when you visit:
- Standard server logs — IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring page, and timestamps.
- Cookies and similar technologies used for basic site function and, where enabled, analytics.
- Aggregate analytics about which pages and episodes are popular. We do not track you personally across the web.
We do not collect your precise location, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Why we collect it
- To deliver what you asked for — send the newsletter and the daily brief, and reply when you reach out.
- To run and improve the site — understand which stories and episodes resonate so we can make better ones.
- To keep the site working and secure — server logs and spam prevention.
How we use and share it
We do not sell your data. We do not share your email address or your messages with advertisers or data brokers.
We use a small number of trusted service providers to operate the site — for example, our web host, our email and newsletter platform, and privacy-respecting analytics. These providers process data only to provide their service to us.
Some pages embed content from other services (such as podcast players, video, or social embeds). Those services may set their own cookies and collect usage data as if you had visited them directly; their own privacy policies govern that data.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from any email at any time using the link in the message.
- Ask us what we hold about you, or to correct or delete it, by getting in touch.
- Control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect site features.
Retention
We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe, contact messages for as long as needed to help you, and server logs for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.
