Our website

Our website has no forms. It never asks you to type anything in, and it never asks who you are.

Our newsletter

You join by emailing us from the address you want it sent to. We add each address by hand. On the list we keep your email address and the date you asked. We also keep the email you sent us. When you stop, we take your address off the list.

To stop, reply to any issue with the word "stop".

You can also email us and say you want to stop. You do not need to give a reason. We deal with a stop the next time we check our mail, and never later than 10 business days after it arrives. We check for stops before we send each issue.

We do not sell our list, and we do not share it.

We do not knowingly collect anything from a child.

When you email us

We keep your message and our reply, so that we can help you. Our email company may keep a copy it can recover for a short time of its own.

What we never keep

Your passwords, PINs, login or recovery codes, or security answers; a bank account or card number; a picture of a bank page; a Social Security number; a picture of an identity document.

If one of these reaches us by mistake, we delete it as soon as we see it and tell the sender. Our email company may keep a copy it can recover for a short time of its own.

Who handles it

Your information is kept in our own business accounts. The company that provides our email and file storage holds what you send us.

An AI assistant, run by another company, helps draft our newsletter and our replies. A person reads and approves everything it drafts before it goes out.

We do not sell your information.

How long we keep it
  • The newsletter list: until you stop. Then your address is taken off the list.
  • The email you sent to join, and your stop: for 90 days after you stop.
  • Any other email you send us, and our reply: for 90 days after the last one.

After a time ends, we delete the record.

Your choices

You can ask to see what we hold about you. You can ask us to delete your address, and the emails you sent us about the newsletter, before the times above end. To ask, email us and say so. We deal with it the same way as a stop. If the law requires us to keep something, we tell you.
