PRIVACY

Collect as little as practical.

The publication does not need a surveillance stack to tell you what happened in IAM this morning.

EMAIL

Newsletter subscriptions

Email signup is designed to go directly to the configured newsletter provider. Identity Field Notes should not sell subscriber addresses or pass them to sponsors.

COMMENTS

Community discussion

Launch comments use Giscus/GitHub Discussions. Participation therefore follows GitHub’s account and privacy model. A future native board should collect only what it needs for identity, moderation and abuse prevention.

ANALYTICS

Optional and privacy-friendly

Analytics are disabled by default. If enabled, the provided integration targets Plausible rather than a behavioral advertising stack.

SPONSORS

No list rental

Sponsors may buy labeled placement. They do not receive subscriber lists, private discussion data or the ability to place third-party tracking pixels through editorial content.

Third parties

When enabled, Buttondown processes newsletter subscriptions, GitHub/Giscus handles discussions, and the hosting provider serves site traffic. Their own terms and privacy practices apply to those services.
