Draft for legal review. This is a starting template, not legal advice. Have a lawyer adapt it to your state, your newsletter and payment tools, and the countries where your readers live before you publish it.

Who helps us

We use service providers for email delivery, payments, website hosting and analytics: list your newsletter platform, payment processor, host and analytics tool. They may process data only for us and under their own privacy terms.

Affiliate links

Some links in our letters are affiliate links, and we say so next to them. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The company you buy from may collect its own data under its own policy.

Your choices

Ask us to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you by writing to the address above. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights, and we will honor them.

How long we keep it

We keep subscriber information while you are subscribed and for a limited time afterward, as needed for records, taxes and legal reasons. State your retention periods.

Readers around the world

Our readers live in many countries. Your information may be processed in the United States or other places where our providers operate. Have a lawyer add the wording required for readers in the European Union, United Kingdom, Canada and other places you serve.
