Privacy, honestly

We collect your email so we can send you one issue a week. Everything else on this page is us explaining how little else there is.

The short version

We want your email address. That's it. That is the entire commercial ambition of this website's data collection. There is no shadow profile, no data broker, no "trusted partners" who are neither.

What we actually collect

• Your email, if you type it into a box and press the button. Plus which page you typed it on, because knowing which post earned the signup is the only analytics that matters to us.
• That you visited — page, referrer, UTM tags if you arrived with them, and a first-party cookie so two visits from you don't read as two people.
• Billing details, only if you buy something — and those go straight to the payment gateway. Card numbers never touch our servers. We couldn't leak them if we tried, which is the correct amount of ability to have.

What we don't do

• Sell or rent your data. To anyone. Ever. It's an email list, not an asset class.
• Run advertising trackers or third-party ad pixels.
• Email you daily. It's one issue a week, and the unsubscribe link is one click and works immediately — not "please allow 10 business days".

Who else touches it

Only the boring infrastructure that makes a website work:

• ClickFunnels — stores the contact record and sends the emails.
• Netlify — serves these pages.
• X (Twitter) — embedded posts inside articles load from X, so X sees that request. We don't control that; it's the price of quoting someone properly.
• Google Fonts — the typefaces. Yes, this means Google sees a font request.

Nobody on that list gets your data for their own marketing.

Your move

Want a copy of what we have, or want it deleted? Email hey@richsteinmetz.com and ask. A human reads it and does the thing. No ticket portal, no identity verification theatre for an email address we only have because you gave it to us.
