Privacy
What we collect. Your email address and the time you signed up. To protect the signup form from abuse, we also store a pseudonymous cryptographic hash derived from the network address used at signup, not the address itself.
Website activity. Apart from the Vibe measurement pixel described below, we do not use advertising trackers or audience analytics on the site itself. Our infrastructure provider, Replit, processes requests and may keep operational and security logs such as request times, paths, network addresses, and browser details.
Advertising measurement. The home page loads a measurement script (a "pixel") from our advertising partner, Vibe (vibe.co). The pixel tells Vibe when the page is viewed and when a signup happens. To do this, Vibe sets a short-lived cookie that recognizes returning visitors and receives the page address, the page that referred you, your network address, and basic device details such as browser and screen size. Vibe uses this to tell us whether a household that saw one of our ads later visited or subscribed. Your email address is never sent to Vibe.
What your email is used for. Sending you the magazine. That is the only thing it is used for.
Who processes it. The editor can open the list. Replit hosts the site, API, and database and processes data to provide that infrastructure. Vibe receives pixel data for advertising measurement, as described above. The admin page uses a necessary, first-party session cookie to keep the editor signed in. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share the list for another company's own marketing.
Leaving. Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any issue and explicitly confirm on the unsubscribe page. The confirmation protects against automated email link scanners. You can also email the address printed on an issue for assistance.
What happens when you leave. Your address is marked unsubscribed and we stop emailing you. We retain a suppression record so your choice is honored if the address is submitted again. To request deletion, email the address printed on an issue.
Changes. If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page before it takes effect.
Questions. Email the address on any issue.
