What happens next
- You leave your address, and a page tells you to look in your inbox.
- One mail asks you to confirm. Nothing else comes until you click its link, which takes you to a page that says so. Then the Companion arrives.
- After that come the Fool's Journey letters: one trump a letter, once a week, 22 in all.
- You can leave at any time. Every mail ends with a one-click link that takes you off the list and to a page that confirms it. If a link is old or broken, you land on this page instead.
What we keep
Your address, the page you signed up on, what you asked for, and when you signed up, confirmed or left. That is all: no name, and no tracking pixels in the mails. To stop the form being flooded, we keep a scrambled form of your connection's IP address for two days. It is scrambled differently each day, so it can't be followed from one day to the next, and it is never stored with your address.
The list lives in our own database on Cloudflare, and no mailing-list company holds it. The mails go out through Cloudflare's email service.
Leaving
One click on the link at the foot of any mail takes you off the list, and so does the unsubscribe button some mail apps show. We keep a note that you left, so that signing up again starts with a fresh confirmation. If you want your address deleted altogether, say so in a reply to any of our mails.
