Privacy.

We run an email list. That means we hold your email address, and almost nothing else. Here is the whole of it, in plain words.

What we store

Your email address, the date you signed up, and where you signed up from — the landing page, say. Nothing else is asked for and nothing else is kept. No name, no address, no payment details.

We also keep a record of the emails we send you and what happened to them: delivered, bounced, opened, or a link clicked. This comes from our sending provider and is what tells us an address has gone dead. It is not used to build a profile of you, and it is never sold, rented or shared.

Cookies

The public pages set no cookies at all. There is no analytics script, no advertising pixel, and no third-party tracker anywhere on this site. The only cookie the site can set is a login session for us, on the admin pages, which you will never see.

Why we are allowed to

Consent. You type your address in, then confirm it by clicking a link in an email we send you — nobody is added without that second click. Under the GDPR that is the lawful basis, and you can withdraw it at any moment.

Who else touches it

Three companies, each acting only on our instructions: Vercel hosts the site, Neon runs the database, and Amazon SES delivers the email. Our data is held in the EU where those services offer it.

How to leave

Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and one click is enough — no confirmation, no survey, no waiting. Unsubscribing stops all sending immediately.

If you would rather be erased entirely, ask us through the contact page and we will delete the address and its whole send history. You are also entitled to a copy of what we hold, and to have it corrected. We answer these within a month, usually the same week.

How long we keep it

For as long as you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe we keep the address in a suppressed state so we cannot accidentally email you again — say the word and we remove that too.

Complaints

If we handle this badly, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. We would rather you told us first.
