What is collected,
and what is not

The letter

If you subscribe, your email address is stored with the newsletter provider used to send the letter, and is used for exactly that. It is never sold, rented, or shared. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe, which removes the address entirely.

Analytics

Aggregate, anonymous page counts are recorded so it is possible to know which pieces are worth writing more of. No individual profiles are built, no advertising networks are embedded, and no cross-site tracking is used.

Cookies

The site stores your colour and dark-mode preference locally in your own browser so it survives a reload. That value never leaves your device and is not a tracking cookie.

Third parties

Fonts are served by Google Fonts and pages are hosted on a commercial web host; both necessarily see your IP address in the course of delivering the page. No other third-party scripts run here.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe from any letter, at any time, with one click.
• Ask for a copy of anything held about you, or ask for it deleted, via the contact page.
• Block cookies and local storage in your browser; the site works fine without them.

Children

This site is written for adults and is not directed at anyone under sixteen.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date above changes and subscribers are told in a letter.
