Your email stays with me.

Short and plain: what I collect, why, and how to leave.

What I collect

Your email address and, if you give it, your first name. Nothing else.

Why

To send you the newsletter every other Sunday, and to reply if you write to me.

What I don’t do

No adverts, no tracking pixels in the letters, and I never share or sell your address.

Leaving

Every letter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you’re off the list.

Questions

Email hello@longhand.example and I’ll answer.
