Privacy policy

This page explains how your data is handled when you visit gainsgeek.com or sign up for the newsletter. Short version: the newsletter needs only your first name and email address, and our hosting provider handles basic technical data to deliver and protect the site. Nothing is sold, and there are no ads or retargeting.

Who is responsible

Newsletter

What is collected. When you submit the signup form, Kit (our email service provider) stores your first name and email address, along with when you subscribed and confirmed. You confirm your subscription through a link in the first email. Kit also records whether you open the emails and which links you click, which shows which notes are useful.

Why. To send you the daily newsletter you asked for. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time by unsubscribing.

How long. As long as you stay subscribed. After you unsubscribe, Kit keeps your email address marked as unsubscribed so you are not emailed again. To have it deleted completely, email us.

Visiting the site

Cloudflare hosts this site. To deliver and protect it, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request details, such as your browser and the page you requested.

• Security cookie. Cloudflare's bot protection sets one cookie, cf_clearance, that tells people from bots. It is strictly necessary for security, does not track you across sites and expires within a year.
• Visit statistics. Cloudflare Web Analytics, a small script, counts page visits and measures loading speed. It uses no cookies, does not fingerprint you and does not identify individual visitors. We see only totals, such as which pages are visited and from which countries.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure site and knowing which pages are used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The site has no other cookies, no ad networks, no retargeting pixels and no other trackers.
