Privacy, in plain words.

Last updated: 3 October 2026

What I collect

Only what you type into the signup box: your email address. Along with it I keep the date and time you agreed to receive emails, the wording you agreed to, and your approximate country (from the network, not your exact location). I don't use advertising trackers or sell anything.

Why

To send you the Gap Nomad letter: a short email when a new episode or idea is published. Nothing else. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Where it's stored

In a private, encrypted database run by Cloudflare, and in a private backup copy kept by me. If I later use an email service to send the letter, your email will be stored there too, only for that purpose.

Who sees it

Only me. I never sell, rent or share your email with advertisers or other companies.

How long I keep it

Until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete it. Then it's removed, apart from a minimal record that you opted out, so you're never emailed again.

Your rights

To do any of these, email hello@gapnomad.com. I'll reply within 30 days.

Children

The newsletter is not meant for anyone under 16. If you're under 16, please don't sign up.

California residents

I don't sell or share personal information as defined by California law. You can ask for access or deletion at the email above.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top. Big changes will be emailed to subscribers first.
