Information We Collect

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the following information:

  • Email address: Required to deliver our newsletter briefings to you
  • Subscription metadata: Including subscription date, source (e.g., website), and subscription status

We do not collect any other personal information such as names, addresses, or phone numbers unless you voluntarily provide it to us through other means (e.g., contacting us directly).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:

  • To send you our AI banking intelligence briefings (typically twice per week on Tuesdays and Fridays)
  • To manage your subscription and respond to your requests (e.g., unsubscribe requests)
  • To improve our newsletter content and website experience
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for their marketing purposes.

These services are bound by their own privacy policies and security standards. We only share the minimum information necessary for them to provide their services to us.

  • Access controls limiting who can view subscriber information

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
