Privacy.

• Your email address — to send the morning brief and the occasional account note.
• Preference signals — derived from replies you send (topics, people, story types you like or don’t). Stored as numeric weights, not raw text.
• A rolling 7-day log of stories Holly has shown you, so she doesn’t repeat herself.
• Billing details — handled by Stripe. We store a Stripe customer ID and your subscription status; we never see your card number.
• Sign-in metadata — IP and user agent, used to detect abuse.

• Anthropic — your preferences and the public news Holly surfaces are sent to Claude to compose your brief.
• Stripe — handles all payment processing and the billing portal.
• Neon — our managed Postgres host.
• Google (Gmail SMTP) — relays outgoing email today. We’ll move to a dedicated transactional provider as we grow.

We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it for anything other than running the service.

• See what Holly thinks you like at /settings.
• Pause the brief at any time. Your preferences stay; emails stop.
• Delete your account from settings. We hard-delete your user record and every linked row, and cancel any active subscription.
• Export your data on request — email jonathan@garelick.net.

The 7-day sent-story log rolls off automatically. Preferences and billing records are kept while your account is active and removed when you delete it. Logs from our infrastructure providers follow their own policies (typically 30 days).
