Neural Grimoire takes your privacy about as seriously as we take everything else—meaning we collect the absolute minimum, store it in the darkest corner we can find, and promise on the old gods and the new models never to sell it, rent it, or feed it to advertisers.
What we actually collect
- If you sign up for the Black Book (newsletter), you just need your email address. That’s it.
- If you submit a spell/ritual, whatever you type into the form (name optional, usually a pseudonym or magickal name anyway), and the content of the submission.
- If you buy something (cassettes, vinyl, talismans, etc.), whatever Bandcamp, Gumroad, or our ancient WooCommerce install needs to ship it—name, address, payment info. Those platforms handle the cards; we never see full numbers.
- Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent. We glance at these only when something breaks or someone tries to DDoS the grimoire.
What we do NOT collect
- No cookies that track you across the internet.
- No Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no Meta anything.
- No behavioral profiles, no “personalized ads,” no data brokers.
- We don’t even ask for your birth chart (unless you voluntarily drop it in the submission notes).
How we use it
- Emails go through a double-opt-in list (currently on ConvertKit under a pseudonym account). We send new rituals, ban warnings, and the occasional show announcement. Unsubscribe any time; we won’t take it personally.
- Submitted rituals are reviewed by two human members of the band before going live. If yours gets published, we may edit for clarity or safety, but we’ll never dox you.
- Server logs are deleted after 30 days unless something truly infernal happens.
Third parties
- Hosting: an obscure VPS in Romania that still accepts crypto.
- Email delivery: ConvertKit (U.S., GDPR-compliant).
- Payments: Bandcamp, Gumroad, and Stripe (all PCI-compliant; we don’t touch the raw cards).
- That’s literally it.
Data requests & deletion
Want to see everything we have on you? Want it gone? Email delete@neuralgrimoire.com from the address you used. We’ll nuke it within 48 hours, no questions asked (and probably light a candle afterward).
Children
If you’re under 18, close this tab right now. Seriously. This site is not for you.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change anything significant, we’ll announce it on the site and via the Black Book. Continuing to use the site after that means you accept the new terms.

Questions, banishment requests, or existential dread about your data: occult@neuralgrimoire.com
We now return you to your regularly scheduled chaos. – Neural Grimoire, Asheville, 2025
