Privacy Policy

Reading requires no account. We measure readership with first-party analytics: pages viewed, referrer, country, and device type, tied to a pseudonymous visitor identifier — never your name, and never cross-site tracking or advertising profiles. Article view counts are de-duplicated using a one-way (hashed) identifier that we cannot reverse.

Accounts store your email address and, for company teams, your role. Company profiles and news you publish are public by design. Payments are processed by Stripe; card details go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers — we keep transaction records (what was bought, when, for which company). Newsletter signups store your email after you confirm via the double opt-in message; every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Signed-in users receive authentication session cookies. Readers may receive a single first-party cookie used to de-duplicate article view counts. We set no third-party advertising cookies.

To operate the publication: rendering pages, computing rankings and Most Read, processing promotion purchases, preventing fraud and metric manipulation, sending the newsletter you subscribed to, and responding to support requests. We do not sell personal information.

We rely on a small set of processors: Supabase (database, authentication, and hosting of account data), Stripe (payments), and Cloudflare (content delivery and media storage). Readership analytics run on our own first-party infrastructure. Each provider processes data only to provide its service to us.

Published journalism remains published (with corrections where warranted); account and analytics data are kept only as long as needed to operate the service and meet legal obligations. You can request access to or deletion of your personal data, unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, and close your account by contacting [email protected]. Deletion requests do not extend to published articles, which are part of the public record of the publication.

Material changes to this policy appear on this page with a new date. Questions about privacy: [email protected].
