The fine print

Privacy

We collect as little as possible and never sell your data.

The short version

The Brown Line is a small, independent publication. We collect as little as possible and we don't sell your data. We run aggregate analytics to see what's useful and, when we promote the newsletter with ads, a measurement pixel so we know whether those ads work. This page explains what happens when you read the site, subscribe, submit an event, or support us.

Newsletter

When you subscribe, your email address is handled by our newsletter provider, Beehiiv, to send you the newsletter and basic delivery analytics. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any issue.

Event submissions

When you submit an event, we collect the details you provide (including your name and, optionally, your email so we can follow up). Submissions are reviewed by a human before anything is published. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to keep spam and bots out of the form.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic (like page views, referrers, and which stops get clicked). It runs by default, with IP anonymization on and advertising features off. We never build advertising profiles from it.

When we run ads to grow the newsletter, a Meta (Facebook and Instagram) pixel records page views and newsletter signups on this site so we can measure whether those ads reach the right people. Meta processes that data under its own privacy policy. The pixel is only present while a campaign is running.

You can turn all of this off for your browser with the switch below. Your choice is remembered on this device.

Analytics is on for this browser.

Support payments

Support payments are processed by Stripe on their own secure pages. We never see or store your card details. Stripe handles payment information under its own privacy policy.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, and you can ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. Just email us and we will take care of it.
