Sharing
We do not sell your data. We use trusted infrastructure providers (database, email, authentication, analytics) who process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms.

We use cookies for authentication (keeping you signed in) and anonymous analytics. You can clear them in your browser at any time.

You can update or delete your account, unsubscribe from emails (link in every email), or request a data export by emailing privacy@plainsemantics.com. We respond within 30 days. EU/UK residents have rights under GDPR; California residents under CCPA.
Data retention
We keep account data while your account is active. Suppression-list entries (bounces, unsubscribes) are kept indefinitely to prevent re-sending.
