The short version
The Rundown is a reading site. We collect as little as possible, we don't sell anything about you, and there are no third-party advertising trackers on these pages.
What we collect
- Server logs. Like most sites, our host records basic request data (IP address, page, timestamp, browser) to keep the site secure and working.
- Newsletter email. If you subscribe, we store the email address you give us, and only use it to send the index. You can unsubscribe from any issue.
What we don't do
No advertising networks, no behavioural profiling, no selling or renting your data. The pages you're reading run without any JavaScript, so there's nothing quietly watching you scroll.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted — just email [email protected]. For how cookies fit in, see our cookie policy.
