What we collect
Your email address, if you give it to us, and whether the Sunday letter was opened. That's it. We keep a rough count of which stories were read, aggregated, with no name attached.
We keep your
email and
nothing else.
What Otherwise Ordinary collects, what it never collects, and how to have your email removed in one click.

What we don't collect
No advertising trackers, no third-party pixels, no cross-site profiles, no fingerprinting, no session recordings. We do not buy lists and we do not sell, rent, or trade yours.
Cookies
One, and only if you subscribe: a small token that remembers you're signed in. Nothing on this site follows you off it.
Letters
Reader mail sits in an email inbox read by the editors. We do not publish reader-submitted work, and we do not print anything you send us without asking you first in writing.
Leaving
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the foot. It takes one click, no survey, and your address is deleted rather than suppressed.
Changes
If this page changes materially, the change is described in the Sunday letter before it takes effect. The version date is at the bottom of this page.
