Privacy, in plain language.

the short version
Basecase is a free finance-education site. The only personal information we ask for is your email address — and only if you choose to sign up for the newsletter. We don't sell your data, we don't run advertising trackers, and you can leave the list or ask us to delete your email at any time.
What we collect
Newsletter email. If you sign up for the newsletter, we collect the email address you enter so we can send you new concepts. That is the only thing the form asks for — no name, no payment details, no account.
Basic server logs. Like most websites, our host (Vercel) automatically records standard technical data — such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request — to keep the site secure and running. We don't use these logs to build a profile of you.
How we use it
Your email is used for one thing: sending you the Basecase newsletter — new concepts and the occasional site update. We don't use it for advertising, and we don't share it so others can advertise to you. Server logs are used only to operate, secure, and improve the site.
Cookies & tracking
Basecase does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers. We don't follow you around the web, and we don't sell behavioral data — because we don't collect it in the first place.
Who we share it with
We never sell or rent your information. We share it only with the service providers that make the site work — our host (Vercel) and, once the newsletter is live, a third-party email delivery service that sends the emails on our behalf. They may only process your data to provide that service.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or where it's needed to protect the safety and integrity of the site.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send. You can also ask us to show you the email address we hold for you, or delete it entirely — just email us and we'll take care of it.
Children's privacy
Basecase is meant for a general audience and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us their email, contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and the “last updated” date above. Significant changes will be called out here.
