Last updated: 2025
Overview
Signal & Convert (“we”, “our”, or “the site”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. If you have questions, contact us at the address listed at the end of this page.
Data We Collect
Newsletter subscriptions
When you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect your email address and, optionally, your first name. This information is used only to send you the newsletter. We do not sell or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
Account registration
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. Account data is used to authenticate you and maintain your bookmarks and newsletter preferences. Passwords are stored using industry-standard one-way hashing — we cannot retrieve your plain-text password.
Usage data
We may collect standard web server logs and analytics data — including page views, referrer URLs, browser type, and approximate geographic region — to understand how the site is used and to improve content. This data does not identify individual users.
Comments
When you submit a comment on an article, we collect your name (as provided) and the comment text. Comments are publicly visible on the site.
How We Use Your Data
- To send the newsletter to subscribers who have opted in
- To authenticate account holders and maintain session state
- To display comments submitted by users
- To analyze aggregate site usage and improve content
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use your data for advertising targeting, profiling, or sale to third parties.
Data Retention
Newsletter subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe. Account data is retained until you request deletion. Usage logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable law.
To unsubscribe from the newsletter, use the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email.
Cookies
We use an HttpOnly session cookie to maintain authenticated account sessions. This cookie is necessary for account functionality and is not used for advertising or tracking purposes. Standard analytics tools may set their own cookies as described in their respective privacy policies.
