A quiet privacy.
We collect very little, and only what helps us serve you. This page explains what, why, and how — in plain words.
1. Information we collect
We collect what you give us — your name, email address, and any details you choose to share when you register, write a letter, or take part in the newsletter or membership. We collect very little, on purpose.
2. How we use it
To send the Sunday letter, to keep your membership account, to reply when you write, and to understand — in aggregate — what readers find useful. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
3. Cookies
A small number of cookies remember whether you are signed in and whether you have already seen the cookie banner. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
4. Third parties
Stripe handles membership billing. A transactional email provider sends the Sunday letter and the reset links. Each of them is bound by their own privacy policy and processes only what is needed to perform that service.
5. Data security
We protect your information with reasonable technical and organisational measures. No method of transmission is perfectly secure, but we take it seriously.
6. Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you at any time. Write to letters@charleslee.co and we will respond within fourteen days.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in any meaningful way, we will say so in the Sunday letter and update the date below.
