Newsletter privacy
Newsletter subscriptions
If you subscribe, we store your email address, first name, subscription status, confirmation dates and the consent choices you make. We send a confirmation message and newsletters through the email provider selected by Steams. The provider processes messages and addressing information to send email. Each newsletter includes an unsubscribe link.
Optional newsletter link reporting is separate from website cookies. It is off unless you opt in on the signup form. If enabled, a unique link lets us associate a click with your subscription for up to 90 days; automated email scanners may also trigger clicks. We do not use email open-tracking pixels. You can turn off link reporting using the preferences link in each newsletter. That also removes retained click details for your subscription.
Active subscriber records are kept until you unsubscribe or request removal. Unconfirmed signups expire after seven days. After unsubscribe, we remove your name and retain your email and opt-out status to avoid emailing you again. Sending and click records are retained for up to 90 days, cleaned during newsletter activity. Hosting logs and private backups have separate retention. Links contain random identifiers, not your email address. Contact the reply-to address in a newsletter for access, correction or deletion requests.
