Short version: your email is only used to send you the newsletter, nothing is sold, and you can leave anytime.

If you subscribe to the newsletter, the only information collected is your email address, submitted voluntarily through the subscribe form. No other personal data is requested or required.
Your email address is used solely to send the Markets in Plain newsletter. It is never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers or other third parties for marketing purposes.
Newsletter emails are sent through MailerLite, a third-party email service provider that stores subscriber addresses on this site's behalf. MailerLite has its own privacy practices, viewable on their website, and acts as the data processor for this list.
This site uses Google Analytics to understand overall traffic patterns — for example, which articles are read most and roughly where visitors come from. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects general browsing data; it does not collect your name or email address unless you've separately provided it elsewhere.
Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it removes your address from the list immediately, with no need to contact anyone.
Messages sent through the contact page are used only to respond to your inquiry and are not added to the newsletter list unless you separately subscribe.
