How we handle your information.

Information we collect

When you join our newsletter ("Join the Thread") through our signup form, we collect the email address you voluntarily provide. We do not collect any other personal information through our website.

How we use your information

We use your email address to:

• Send you Ma'adannah updates, including new pieces, projects in progress, and stories behind the work
• Respond to you if you contact us directly
• Comply with legal obligations, where required

We do not use your information for anything beyond this. We do not analyze browsing behavior, build advertising profiles, or use your data to make automated decisions about you.

We do not sell your data

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

Third-party services

We use outside service providers to help operate our website and send our newsletter. These providers process your information only as needed to provide their services to us. They do not use your information for their own marketing purposes, and we do not permit them to sell or share it further.

Data retention

We keep your email address for as long as you are subscribed to our newsletter. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your information, we remove it from our systems.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we do not collect anything beyond what is needed to run our newsletter.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link included in every email. You can also request that we access, correct, or delete your information entirely by emailing us directly. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are a California resident, you additionally have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, request its deletion, and opt out of its sale (we do not sell information, so this is automatic). We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Cookies & tracking

Our website does not currently use tracking cookies, analytics software, or advertising technology. We honor Do Not Track browser signals as a matter of practice, even though we do not track visitors regardless.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page with a new "last updated" date above. We recommend checking back periodically.
