Privacy
We ask for an email address and nothing else. No ad networks, no profiles, no selling anything about you.
The short version: we collect as little as we can get away with, we do not sell anything about you, and the only thing we actively ask for is an email address you can remove yourself from in one click.
The list is not open yet. When it is, we will hold your email address and the date you signed up. That is it. We use it to send the newsletter described at the point of signup and nothing else. Every email has an unsubscribe link that works immediately, and you can ask us to delete your address entirely at any time.
Our host records standard server information — the pages requested, approximate region, browser type — which we use in aggregate to see which articles are worth writing more of. We do not build profiles of individual readers.
The site itself does not set advertising or tracking cookies. There are currently no affiliate links on it. When there are, the retailer you land on will set its own cookie so it can attribute the sale — that happens on their site, under their privacy policy, and we would have no access to it or to what you buy beyond an aggregate commission report.
Wherever you are, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, and we will do it. Depending on where you live — the UK, the EU, California and others — you may have those rights in law as well. We do not intend to make you cite a statute to get a sensible answer.
If this policy changes materially, we will date the change at the top of this page and say what changed in the newsletter rather than updating it quietly.
Questions, or a request to see or delete what we hold: hello@messypig.com.
New scores, brands that finally answered, and any rule change that affects what you can buy. The list is not open yet — email us and we will add you when it is.
