Hey Dr. Catherine

Effective: August 6th, 2025

At Hey Dr. Catherine, your privacy and trust mean everything to us. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you subscribe to or interact with our Substack publication at hey.drcatherine.com and heydrcatherine.substack.com.

Our Substack is an extension of the Dr. Catherine support system—a warm, irreverent, high-touch destination for women navigating midlife with agency, joy, and wisdom. We use Substack to deliver emails, but your subscription also connects you with the full Dr. Catherine Wellness ecosystem—because healing is holistic, and so is our communication.

1. What We Collect

When you subscribe, we may collect:

• Your email address and name

• Engagement data (opens, clicks, comments)

• Any preferences you share in polls or forms

We do not collect personal health data through Substack.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your info to:

• Send you our newsletter and occasional wellness updates

We do this so you can enjoy a seamless, holistic experience. We promise never to spam or sell your data—and you can update your preferences or opt out anytime.
