Personal data collected

• When you subscribe to email notifications: your email address, your display language, and your subscription settings (which notifications you receive).
• When you visit the website: standard technical information such as IP address and browser type may be processed through server logs by our hosting and CDN provider to keep the site running securely and reliably.
• Analytics: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics (provided by Cloudflare, Inc.) for anonymous, cookie-free page view counts. Your browser sends the URL of the page you visit, the referrer, and browser information to Cloudflare. This is used solely to understand site traffic; it does not identify individuals or track you across sites.
• Functional cookies and browser local storage: used only to remember choices you have made on this site, for example whether you have already seen a notice, which reactions you tapped, and the language and prediction inputs you last chose. These records contain no personal information; we do not use them to identify you or to track you across sites.

How and why your data is used

• Your email address is used to send the notifications you subscribed to, and notices about related services operated by maybebetter™. The legal basis for this processing is your consent: when you subscribe, you receive a confirmation email, and your subscription only becomes active after you click the confirmation link. That click serves as your record of consent.
• Server log data is used solely to ensure the secure and stable operation of the website.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not share your email address with any third party for advertising.
• We do not currently use tracking cookies or behavioral analytics tools. If we introduce any in future, we will update this policy first and obtain your consent where required by law.

Data recipients

The website is hosted on Cloudflare. Email delivery is handled by Resend (operated by Plus Five Five, Inc., United States), whose servers are located in the United States. These providers process data only under our instructions. For the data protection rules of the United States, see the survey report published by the Personal Information Protection Commission; for the measures Resend takes, see its security page and data processing addendum. Beyond these providers, data is disclosed to third parties only when required by law.

Retention

Your data is retained for as long as you remain subscribed. After you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from the mailing list. A suppression record may be kept solely to ensure you do not receive further emails.

Your rights

• Unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every notification email.
• Access, correct, delete, or stop the use of your data by emailing us at the address above. No formal procedure is required.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in features or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on this page. If we make significant changes, we will notify active subscribers by email.
