What I collect. Your e-mail address. If you write to me, whatever you put in that e-mail. That is the entire list.
What I do with it. Send you the newsletter. Nothing else. I do not sell, rent, trade, or lend your address, and I never will — not to a sponsor, not to an advertiser, not to anybody’s machine-learning model.
Who else sees it. The newsletter is hosted and delivered by
Substack, and paid memberships are handled by
Patreon — both process your data under their own GDPR-compliant policies, linked here. Neither this site nor I keep a separate copy of your address.
Your rights. Access, correction, a copy, or erasure — ask and you get it, within thirty days and usually the same week. You consented by typing your address in; you can withdraw that consent just as easily.
Leaving. Every letter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click, gone, no exit interview. You can also e-mail me and I’ll remove you by hand.
How long I keep it. Until you leave. Then I delete it — not archive it, not “retain for analytics.” Delete.
Tracking. No advertising trackers, no third-party analytics and no cross-site anything on this page. Substack records whether a letter was opened; you can turn that off in your reader settings, and I never act on it.
Written to GDPR standards, and to plain-English ones: I collect only what’s necessary, on your explicit consent, and you may ask at any time what I hold, request a copy of it, or have it erased. E-mail me and it’s done — no form, no ticket number.
