You can read back issues once you're subscribed — the archive lives behind the confirmation link. That's the only gated thing on the site.

Do you sell my email?: No. We use Resend for sending and Supabase for storage. Both are reputable, both are GDPR-compliant, neither has access to your email except for the purpose of delivering our newsletter.
What happens if I unsubscribe?: We delete your email from the sending list immediately and purge it from our database within 30 days. No reactivation attempts, no 'are you sure' campaigns.
Can I read past issues?: Yes — the archive is in the subscriber-only dashboard, linked from every email. You can access it any time.
Will you ever switch to a daily or weekly newsletter?: Almost certainly not. Two emails a month is the cadence we can sustain with the quality we want. If anything we'll move to monthly before we go weekly.
