EWS Privacy Notice
Effective date: 12 September 2026
1 Who is responsible
EWS and EirikWStreams are the creator and trading names used by Eirik Larsen, an individual based in Norway who operates EirikWStreams.com. EWS is not currently a separately incorporated company.
For the activities described in this notice, the operator is responsible as data controller where they determine why and how your personal information is used.
Privacy contact: itsEirikW@gmail.com
You can use this email for privacy questions and requests, including after a membership ends. Please identify your request as a privacy matter and provide only the information reasonably needed to locate the relevant account or correspondence. Do not send passwords, payment-card details or identity documents unless a necessary and secure verification process has been explained to you.
This notice covers personal information handled for EWS creator content, membership benefits, community participation, direct exchanges and related support.
Fourthwall provides the storefront and membership platform. Its privacy information and the storefront Privacy Policy describe additional processing connected with those services. The parties’ responsibilities depend on the processing involved; using Fourthwall does not remove the operator’s responsibilities for their own handling of personal information.
For order, payment or delivery questions, use the support details in your order confirmation or visit https://eirikwstreams.com/contact/order-placed.
2 Information involved
Depending on your participation and the information made available to EWS, the service involves:
Account and membership information, such as your display name, contact details, member identifier, tier and entitlement status.
Contributions you submit, including comments, poll participation, suggestions, attachments and the dates of those contributions.
Private messages and replies, including relevant attachments and conversation history.
- Support and moderation information, such as reports, correspondence and records needed to resolve a concern.
- Purchase-related information made available to EWS for fulfilment or support, such as the item, order reference and payment status. Do not send payment-card details to EWS in a message.
- Technical or analytics information only as described in the service-specific section below.
We obtain information from your submissions and from the platform insofar as it makes relevant information available for creator services. We do not claim access to every record held by Fourthwall. You are not required to send completed ebook worksheets or detailed personal histories to use an ebook.
3 Purposes and lawful bases
Where GDPR applies, we use personal information for the following purposes and on the corresponding lawful bases.
Providing purchased benefits
We use account details, membership entitlements and necessary correspondence to deliver the creator benefits you purchased and respond to requests within that service. The lawful basis is performance of our contract with you.
Operating community participation
We use your display name, contributions and relevant participation information to publish contributions to their intended audience and operate the community features you request. The lawful basis is performance of the requested service where this processing is necessary.
Safety and moderation
We use relevant account information, reports and contributions to investigate abuse and maintain a usable community. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in protecting participants and operating the service, balanced against your rights. A legal obligation applies where a specific law requires the processing.
Complaints and legal claims
We use relevant correspondence and transaction information to resolve complaints and establish, exercise or defend legal claims. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in resolving disputes and protecting legal rights, or a legal obligation where applicable.
Required records
We retain records required by applicable accounting, tax or other legislation to comply with those legal obligations.
Optional marketing and promotional reuse
Where consent is required, we obtain it before sending optional marketing or reusing identifiable contributions for promotion. The request will explain what information will be used and for what purpose. You can withdraw consent without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
Special-category information
Contract and legitimate interests do not, by themselves, authorise processing of special-category information, such as information about health or religious beliefs. The additional requirements in section 4 apply.
This notice explains our practices. It is not a request for consent, and accepting website terms does not automatically give consent to optional processing.
4 Your choice to share and sensitive information
You decide what to contribute. Please keep disclosures relevant and avoid unnecessary information about health, religious beliefs, intimate matters, identity documents or other people. Choosing to share does not waive your privacy rights or remove EWS’s responsibilities.
Faith discussions and personal-growth questions can reveal sensitive information. Where GDPR applies, intentional processing of special-category information requires both an ordinary lawful basis and an applicable Article 9 condition. EWS will obtain specific, explicit consent before such processing where consent is the condition relied on. Any alternative condition must actually apply to the activity; joining a faith-themed paid community is not by itself an exemption.
You do not have to disclose sensitive personal circumstances to receive general content. If unnecessary sensitive information arrives without an appropriate basis, we will restrict its use and arrange appropriate deletion or redaction, involving the platform where needed. We may be unable to address a request that cannot lawfully be handled without that information. Necessary processing for legal claims or other legal exceptions is assessed separately.
We do not treat a post in a members-only group as information you have necessarily made public to everyone. Do not submit another person’s sensitive information without lawful authority.
5 Group comments and private messages
Group comments: Your display identity and contribution are visible to the audience allowed to access the post or group, together with relevant authorised administrators. Public and membership-restricted areas have different audiences. Check where you are posting before submitting. Other participants may copy or screenshot a contribution; restrictions cannot guarantee that no copy will ever exist. EWS’s rules prohibit unauthorised redistribution but do not replace its own privacy obligations.
Private messages: A direct message is not intended to be displayed to the general membership. It is handled by the intended recipient, authorised people who need access for the relevant service or support, and providers operating the messaging system. The access arrangements for EWS are identified in section 6. Private exchanges do not carry professional therapeutic or legal privilege.
Reports: Reporting a message or comment can make relevant information available to those reviewing the concern. We will limit its use to appropriate investigation, response and lawful recordkeeping. We will not promise absolute secrecy where disclosure is legally required, but will consider the reporter’s privacy when responding.
An identifiable private message, image or personal story will not be used for public promotion merely because you are a member. A separate appropriate permission or lawful basis is required. The terms’ limited permission to display community posts is not a blanket marketing licence.
6 People and services involved
Fourthwall provides the storefront and member platform. Its published privacy information is available at https://fourthwall.com/legal/privacy-policy and through the storefront’s privacy links. Appropriate platform personnel and providers may process information to operate, support and secure the service under the applicable arrangements.
Access to EWS member information is limited to the creator and any authorised administration or support personnel whose assigned work requires it. Permission to moderate group comments is not, by itself, permission to read private messages. EWS must manage platform roles consistently with those limits. Platform-level service and security access is governed by the provider’s applicable arrangements.
This notice describes the EWS storefront and community activities supported by Fourthwall. Before EWS uses an additional provider for member information, the relevant provider, purpose and privacy arrangements must be disclosed. This page does not grant permission to export private conversations to an undisclosed community, marketing or AI service.
We may disclose necessary information to professional advisers, competent authorities or other recipients where lawfully required to address a dispute, comply with law or protect a person’s safety. Such disclosures require an appropriate basis and must be proportionate.
Using an external service may also involve that provider’s independent privacy practices. We will not treat its notice as a substitute for explaining EWS’s own use of the information. Any team-assisted response must be distinguished where a member has been promised a personal reply from the creator.
7 Retention and deletion
EWS retains information only while needed for the relevant purpose or an applicable legal requirement. The following criteria guide review and deletion:
- Membership administration records are needed to supply and verify entitlements and resolve outstanding account matters.
- Routine messages are needed while handling the exchange and any related support issue. They should not be retained merely because storage is available once that need ends.
- Comments and contributions are needed while displayed as part of the relevant community discussion, subject to deletion requests and lawful exceptions.
- Moderation and dispute records are limited to what is needed for the particular incident, repeat-abuse assessment or legal claim. They are not a reason to retain all unrelated conversations.
- Statutory records are retained for the period required by the applicable obligation.
For a specific retention enquiry, EWS will explain the applicable purpose, relevant outstanding matter or legal obligation, and the deletion steps available for the records concerned. Ordinary account controls do not necessarily delete stored conversation history. Requests requiring provider action will be referred to the relevant platform; technical limitations do not excuse indefinite retention without a lawful purpose.
Cancellation of a subscription is not the same as a request to erase personal information. To request deletion, use the privacy contact route in section 1. A missing self-service delete button does not remove your rights: we will assess the request and work with the relevant provider where necessary. If information must lawfully be retained, we will explain the reason where applicable and restrict unrelated use. We cannot guarantee erasure of copies held independently by other recipients, but will take any steps the law requires.
8 International processing and security
Fourthwall’s published policy describes processing in the United States. EWS must also account for any other locations used by its own service providers.
You may request information about the transfer arrangements applicable to your records through the privacy contact route in section 1. EWS will obtain relevant provider information where needed rather than assume that every transfer is covered by the same arrangement. This notice does not represent that information remains exclusively in your country or that a particular transfer safeguard has been verified merely because it is legally available.
Where required, transfers outside the EEA or UK must have an applicable lawful mechanism. Merely using the website does not supply blanket transfer consent.
EWS will limit access to people with a legitimate service need and use reasonable organisational and technical measures appropriate to the information handled. No online service can promise perfect security. This statement does not waive our duty to safeguard information, investigate incidents or notify affected people or authorities where required.
9 Cookies marketing and embedded content
Fourthwall’s applicable privacy and cookie information describes its platform technologies. Any additional EWS analytics, advertising or embedded-content activity must be identified through the relevant notice and consent controls before it operates where prior notice or consent is required. This notice alone does not authorise optional tracking or assert that a particular tracking tool is installed.
Where consent is required for non-essential technologies, they must not be activated before that consent. Optional marketing permissions must be separate from necessary service messages and can be withdrawn through the stated unsubscribe mechanism or privacy contact. Declining optional marketing does not remove purchased core benefits.
We will explain any new use of member information before it begins and obtain fresh consent where required. We will not assume permission to send private conversations to an AI service or use them for model training merely because messaging is enabled.
10 Your rights
Depending on the law that applies, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your information and object to particular processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting prior lawful processing. For processing based on legitimate interests, we will assess objections under the applicable rules. You may object to direct marketing at any time.
Send requests through the privacy contact route in section 1. We may seek proportionate information to verify identity and protect other people’s data. We will respond within applicable legal time limits and explain any lawful restriction or extension. You may complain to your relevant data-protection authority, including Datatilsynet if appropriate to your situation: https://www.datatilsynet.no/.
Information objectively necessary to fulfil a requested service may be required for that service. If you choose not to provide it, we will explain what cannot be supplied. Unrelated sensitive details and optional marketing consent are not prerequisites for accessing general paid content.
11 Younger users and changes
Use of the service is subject to the platform’s eligibility rules and any clearly disclosed EWS age restrictions. We do not ask users to post detailed personal histories to prove age. Contact us if you believe a child’s information has been provided contrary to the applicable requirements so we can assess it and take appropriate action.
We will date changes to this notice and communicate material changes where required. Updating the notice does not itself authorise a new incompatible purpose or provide consent. Our contact details above are the route for questions about EWS’s handling of your information.
For questions about this privacy notice or requests concerning your personal data, please use our contact form. Select “Other” and explain your request. Please do not include passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive information.
