Privacy policy

This page describes what we collect and why. It is written to be read rather than to be technically unfalsifiable.

What we collect

• If you subscribe: your email address, and the page you subscribed from. The second is so we know which prompts work.
• If you create an account: your email address, and any name you choose to give.
• When you read: aggregate analytics about pages viewed, referrer and approximate country. We use this to decide what to publish next.
• Email engagement: whether a newsletter was opened or a link clicked, so we can tell whether an edition was useful.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your email address or personal data.
• We do not ask for information we have no use for.
• We do not require an account to read the site.

Storage set on your device is listed separately on the cookie policy page.

Processors

Running a publication means using third-party services, and those services necessarily process some data on our behalf: our publishing platform and its hosting, our email delivery provider, and our analytics provider. Each is used for the purpose described above.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe from any email using the link in it. It works in one click.
• Deletion. Email editor@marketbrief.africa and we will delete your subscriber record.
• Access. Ask what we hold about you at editor@marketbrief.africa.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the updated date at the top of this page will move and, where the change affects subscribers, we will say so in the newsletter.
