Disclaimer, Privacy, and Terms

Last updated: September 23, 2026

This is the only policy page on IndyKarveli.com. By using the Site, you agree to everything on it. The short version: no ads, no affiliate links, nothing for sale, no marketing email, and nothing here is financial advice.

Disclaimer

I don’t earn anything when you click a link on this Site. There are no ads, no affiliate links, and no sponsored posts. Nothing is for sale here. If that ever changes, I’ll say so on this page and in any post that contains a paid link.

Nothing here is financial, investment, legal, tax, or professional advice. Everything on this Site, in the weekly issues, and on my social accounts is for education only. I’m not a licensed financial advisor, investment advisor, broker-dealer, attorney, or accountant. I don’t manage money or make personal recommendations. Talk to a qualified professional before you make a financial, legal, or tax decision.

No results are promised. The research I write about describes groups of people, not what will happen to you. Return figures such as 7% a year are assumptions used for illustration, not forecasts. All investing carries risk, including losing the money you put in, and past results don’t guarantee future ones. Your decisions and their outcomes are your own.

Privacy

In this policy, “I,” “me,” and “my” mean Indy Karveli. “You” means anyone who visits the Site or subscribes. It covers IndyKarveli.com (the “Site”).

What I collect

Your email address, only if you give it to me, which happens when you subscribe to unlock the free introduction to Selfmade Habits. It is used to sign you in and for nothing else.

Your name, if you choose to give it.

Visit data. Like most sites, this one records basic information when you visit, such as pages viewed, browser and device type, and time on page. Ghost, the platform that runs the Site, collects this, and I use it to see which pages help people.

Outbound links. Links from this Site to other sites may carry a tag showing the visit came from IndyKarveli.com.

Messages. If you write to me, I receive your message and address. I read them to learn what’s useful, and I don’t share them.

How I use it

I do not send marketing email. Subscribing does not put you on a mailing list. The only messages you will receive are the sign-in links you request. If that ever changes, you will be asked first and this page will be updated. I use visit data, looked at in total rather than person by person, to improve the Site.

I will never sell, rent, trade, or barter your email address or personal information. Period.

I may share information if the law requires it, for example in response to a court order.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. This Site uses cookies for two things:

Sign-in: to recognize you as a subscriber and let you manage your subscription.
Analytics: to understand how the Site is used.

There are no advertising cookies. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. If you block them, some features, such as managing your subscription, may stop working.

Services that handle your data

Ghost (ghost.org) hosts the Site and stores subscriber data. Its privacy policy is at ghost.org/privacy.

Fonts are served from this Site. No font requests go to Google or any other third party.

The Site links to other sites, including my accounts on 𝕏, Instagram, and YouTube. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and I’m not responsible for them.

How long I keep it

I keep your email address while your account exists. You can delete your account from your account page, or ask me to delete your data completely, at any time.

Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no data sent over the internet is 100% secure. I can’t be responsible for information intercepted without my knowledge or permission.

Children

This Site is for adults. It isn’t meant for anyone under 18, and I don’t knowingly collect their information. If you think someone under 18 has subscribed, contact me and I’ll delete it right away.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask me to:

(i) show you the personal data I hold about you
(ii) correct it
(iii) delete it
(iv) delete your account, at any time

If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, the law may give you more rights, including the right to restrict how your data is used and to complain to a data protection authority. To use any of these rights, email me at the address below.

Terms of use

My work

Everything on this Site, including articles, weekly issues, and graphics, is my original work and protected by copyright. Selfmade Habits is the name of my book. You’re welcome to share links and quote short passages with credit to Indy Karveli and a link back. Please don’t republish, sell, or build on the work without my written permission.

The weekly issue and the introduction

The weekly issue is free and is published on the Site. The introduction to Selfmade Habits is free to subscribers. I may change the timing, format, or content of either. Subscribing doesn’t create any agreement beyond access to the introduction.

Using the Site

Please don’t use the Site for anything unlawful, interfere with how it runs, try to access parts of it you aren’t meant to, or scrape its content or subscriber information.

No warranties

The Site and its content are provided “as is.” I work to keep everything accurate and to correct mistakes when I find them, but I can’t guarantee that the content is complete or error-free, or that the Site will always be available.

Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, I’m not liable for any damages that come from using the Site or relying on its content. If you’re unhappy with the Site, your remedy is to stop using it. You agree to hold me harmless from claims that arise from your use of the Site or your breach of these terms.

Changes to this page

I may update this page at any time. Changes will appear here with a new date at the top. If you keep using the Site after a change, you accept the updated version.

Governing law

This page and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the United States. If a dispute comes up, we’ll first try to settle it in good faith. If that fails, it will go to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If any part of this page can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
