Privacy Policy

Steam & Spokes — steamandspokes.com — Last updated: June 2026


What we know about you.

Your email address.

That's it.


Why we have it

You gave it to us. You found this page, read about a bicycle race that history forgot to mention, and decided you wanted to know what happened next.

We use your email address for one purpose: to send you the next chapter.

No advertising. No selling your data. No profiling. No third-party sharing. We are not building a picture of who you are. We are telling a story, and you asked to be on the list.


Who we are

Steam & Spokes is a project by PROJEKT Artur Gawlikowski (NIP: PL8392908447).

You can reach us at: records@steamandspokes.com

If you are based in the European Union, we act as the data controller for your personal data under GDPR.


What we collect and why

Email address To send you the newsletter Your explicit consent (double opt-in)

We collect nothing else. No name unless you choose to provide it. No location. No device data. No behaviour tracking.


Where your data goes

Your email address is stored with EmailOctopus (Three Hearts Digital Ltd, United Kingdom). Their servers are hosted on AWS infrastructure in Ireland — within the European Union.

EmailOctopus is GDPR compliant. Their privacy policy is available at emailoctopus.com/legal/privacy.

Your data does not go anywhere else.


Cookies

This site does not use cookies.

No tracking cookies. No advertising cookies. No analytics. Nothing is stored in your browser.

When you submit the signup form, your email address is sent straight to our newsletter provider — that is the only data that ever leaves this page.


How long we keep your data

Until you unsubscribe.

When you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from our list. We do not keep it in any archive or backup list.


Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at: records@steamandspokes.com

We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In Poland: uodo.gov.pl. In the EU: edpb.europa.eu.


Changes to this policy

If we change anything material, we will notify subscribers by email before the change takes effect.

The date at the top of this page always reflects the last update.


One more thing

We built this project because we believe some stories deserve to be told. We are not here to harvest your attention or sell you things you didn't ask for.

If you subscribed, you trusted us with your email address. We take that seriously.
