READER INFORMATION

Privacy, in plain language.

Current operation of the publication · September 11, 2026

What is collected

The launch-list form stores your email address, the consent statement and signup time. The corrections form stores the page reference, message and optional reply email you supply. Both are available only to the authorized editor. Please do not include sensitive personal information.

Comments

Comment submissions store the article reference, your chosen display name, comment text, submission time and moderation status. Approved comments and display names appear publicly and in public exports. Pending and hidden comments are visible only to the authorized editor. No email is collected for comments. A daily-changing hash of the network address is used to limit submissions; raw addresses are not stored in the comment record. The hosting service may keep separate operational logs.

Comments are retained for discussion and moderation. To request removal, use the private contact form and identify the article, name and comment. Approval does not verify the author’s identity. Avoid submitting personal health information.

What is connected

Google AdSense code is installed on reader pages. Google may process IP addresses, browser and device information, cookies and advertising identifiers for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. See Google’s privacy information at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Ad display depends on Google approval and account settings. Analytics, an external newsletter provider and an AI research service are not connected. Newsletter delivery has not started. The hosting service provides site access and may process operational logs under its own terms. Signing in to the editorial desk shares your authenticated account identity with the site.

Use and retention

Signup data is used to prepare the launch list; it is not sold. A newsletter provider and sending details must be disclosed and configured before delivery begins. Correction submissions are used to investigate reported errors. Subscriber data can be removed using the form below. The editor can delete resolved private correspondence. Public corrections may remain in published history without the submitter’s email.

Request removal

Submitting your address removes it from this site’s launch list immediately. No confirmation email is sent. For other privacy requests, use the private correction/contact form.

Reading and exports

Public-record downloads contain published articles, proposals, record relationships, source references, published revisions and approved reader comments. They exclude subscriber information, private drafts, pending or hidden comments and correspondence. Scenario worksheet inputs remain in your page session and are not saved.
