Your privacy matters.

This publication is operated by Sahil Sahu. This page explains the data used to run the website and newsletter.

Newsletter information

When you subscribe, we store your email address, subscription status, chosen topics and frequency, consent records, and the tokens needed to verify or manage your subscription. Delivery records help us handle retries, failures, bounces, and complaints. Subscription requires a verified email and your explicit consent. Signing in alone does not subscribe you.

Website and security

The website and its hosting providers process request information to serve pages, diagnose errors, and prevent abuse. Rate limiting uses hashed identifiers derived from email addresses or network addresses. Clerk manages sign-in and session cookies for readers and the Studio author. Announcements may use browser storage to remember dismissals and display frequency. A random browser-storage marker tells other open tabs to refresh newsletter preferences after a change; this marker contains no email address or subscription details.

Article reactions and views

Reactions are linked to your Clerk user ID so you can change or remove your reaction. Only reaction totals are public; we do not display who reacted. Reactions are removed when your account-deletion webhook is processed, including for readers who never subscribed. Article views include guests after the article stays visible for a few seconds. A random, first-party browser cookie lasts up to 30 days and helps count repeat visits once per UTC day. The database stores a daily, article-specific hash rather than the cookie value or your IP. Expired duplicate-check records are cleared in batches during later visits; aggregate view totals remain. Clearing or blocking cookies can affect these approximate counts.

Service providers

Clerk manages reader authentication, account information, and secure session cookies. We store your Clerk user ID to connect your account with newsletter preferences. Supabase hosts publication files and the PostgreSQL database; Resend delivers email and reports delivery events; Upstash supports rate limiting. The hosting provider processes requests and operational logs. These providers process information needed to operate their services and may process it outside your country.

Usage and performance measurement

If enabled, Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights measure visits and loading performance. The integration removes query strings and fragments and excludes Studio, search, API routes, account and login pages, and newsletter management pages. Subscription email addresses are not sent as analytics events. These integrations do not add advertising trackers.

Retention and your choices

Subscription information is kept to deliver the newsletter and maintain your preferences. Unsubscribing stops newsletter delivery; it does not automatically erase all consent, suppression, or delivery records. Limited records may remain to prevent unwanted resubscription, investigate delivery issues, and meet applicable obligations. Backups and provider logs follow the relevant provider retention settings.

Use your reader account or the unsubscribe or preferences link in an email at any time. Changing your primary account email pauses delivery until you confirm your subscription again. Deleting your Clerk account stops email delivery when its deletion notification is processed; it does not erase newsletter records automatically. You can also request access, correction, or deletion of your information using the contact below. Requests are reviewed and may require verification that you control the email address.
