When you ask to subscribe, this site stores your email address, and your first name if you give one, and emails you a link to confirm. Nothing is sent to you beyond that email unless you confirm.
When you confirm, it also stores:
With each of those consent records it also keeps a one-way hash of your address (a fingerprint that can be matched against an address but not turned back into one), so it can show when and how you agreed.
Why:to send you a link to confirm that the address is yours, and then the updates you chose. Your first name is optional; it isn't used to identify you, and it isn't put in the confirmation email.
No newsletters are being sent yet. This notice will be updated, including how to unsubscribe, before the first one is.
If you don't confirm within 7 days of your latest request, your address and first name are deleted automatically (normally within a few days after that). The record of the request stays, holding the hash but not the address or name.
If you confirm,your address, first name and choices are kept while you're subscribed.
Abuse prevention: to limit repeated requests, the site counts them per email address and per network (IP) address, storing only one-way hashes of those addresses. The counts expire within a day and are then deleted automatically.
Where:everything is stored in this site's own Amazon Web Services account, in the United States (Oregon), and confirmation emails are sent with Amazon Simple Email Service. No mailing-list or advertising service receives your address. The emails contain no tracking pixels or tracked links.
