Privacy notice
Last updated 3 November 2026 · ssss.companyThe short version
We collect only what you type into our two forms, plus basic security data. We use it to reply to you or to email you new issues if you asked. We never sell it, rent it or share it for advertising. You can unsubscribe in one click and ask us to delete your data at any time.
What we collect and why
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, optional interest | You join the waitlist | To email you when new issues come out (your consent; you can withdraw it any time) |
| Name, email, interest, message | You send a message | To read and answer it |
| A one-way scrambled code made from your IP address (never the address itself), browser type, time | Any form use | To stop spam and abuse (rate limits); this is our legitimate interest in keeping the site safe |
We count visits with our host's cookie-free analytics: anonymous page views, country and device type, no cookies, no profile of you. We don't use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
Who helps us run this
Our hosting provider (Vercel) runs the site, our database provider (Neon) stores form entries, and our email provider sends confirmation and reply emails. They process data only to provide those services to us. Data may be processed in the United States.
How long we keep it
- Waitlist: until you unsubscribe; after that we keep only what's needed to honor the unsubscribe.
- Messages: up to 24 months, or until you ask us to delete them.
- Rate-limit records: about one day. The scrambled IP code saved with a form entry is kept with that entry and deleted with it.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe with the link in any email (one click).
- Ask to see, correct or delete your data: use the contact form and say "privacy request". We answer within 30 days.
- Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA/CPRA) you may have further rights, including complaining to your data-protection authority. We honor these requests for everyone.
Security
Forms accept only small, same-site submissions, are rate-limited, and the site uses strict security headers and HTTPS. No system is perfect; if something goes wrong that affects your data, we'll tell you.
Children
This site isn't directed at children under 13 (16 in the EU), and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this notice changes in a way that matters, we'll update the date above and, for waitlist members, say so in the next email.
