Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect email addresses when visitors voluntarily subscribe to our research updates. We collect anonymized usage data via Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site.

How we use information

Email addresses are used solely to send the research updates the visitor signed up for. Anonymous analytics data is used to improve the site's usefulness.

UTM and referral parameters

We capture UTM parameters present in URLs to understand which content brings visitors to the site. These are stored alongside any submitted email address for attribution purposes.

Chat assistant

Conversations with our research assistant chatbot are processed through Anthropic's Claude API. We do not store chat conversations server-side; the conversation lives only in your browser's session storage and clears when you close the tab.

Cookies and storage

We use only sessionStorage in the browser, never localStorage. Analytics providers may set their own cookies for measurement purposes; you can opt out via your browser settings.

Data sharing

We do not sell email addresses. We do not share user data with third parties except as required by service providers (e.g., the email-sending platform we use to deliver research updates).
