Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 19, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how 5th World Cultural Collective ("5th World", "we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website.
Information we collect
We collect limited information, depending on how you use the site.
- Newsletter / embeds: If you subscribe via our Substack embed, Substack may collect your email and related subscription information.
- Contact: If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
- Basic technical data: Like most websites, servers and third-party services may automatically receive information such as IP address, device/browser type, and timestamps.
How we use information
- To operate and maintain the site.
- To respond to questions and messages.
- To send newsletters or updates if you opt in through Substack.
- To improve site performance and content.
Third-party services and links
Our site may use or link to third-party services (for example: Contentful for content, Substack for newsletter signup, and Etsy for our shop). These services may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
When you click a third-party link or interact with an embed, your activity is governed by that third party’s policies, not ours.
Cookies
We do not intentionally set advertising cookies. However, embedded content and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies to function.

Your choices
- Newsletter: You can unsubscribe using the link in any Substack email.
- Contact: You can request we delete prior correspondence by emailing us.
- Browser controls: You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
