What we collect
We collect personal data only when you actively give it to us:
- Briefing requests. Your name, organization, work email, role, stated area of interest, and the message you write.
- Newsletter sign-ups. Your email address, and the page from which you subscribed.
We do not run advertising trackers, we do not sell data, and we use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics that do not build a profile of you.
Why we use it
- To respond to a briefing request and correspond with you about it.
- To send the monthly editorial, if you asked for it.
- To understand, in aggregate, which material is useful.
Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about our work, and — for the newsletter — your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
Who processes it
Engagement data is held in our own infrastructure. A small number of processors support the website: a transactional email provider (Resend) delivers briefing notifications and newsletter confirmations; our hosting and content database run on infrastructure we operate. None of these parties receive client engagement material — only the limited website data described above.
Retention
Briefing correspondence is retained for as long as the conversation is active and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping, then deleted. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe.
International transfers
Where data is processed outside your jurisdiction, we rely on recognised safeguards. As a matter of principle, the firm is building the very technology — verifiable computation — that makes cross-border data handling provable rather than merely promised.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law (including the GDPR and equivalent regimes), you may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal data, and you may object to its processing. To exercise any of these, write to [email protected]. We respond within the timeframes the law requires.
