Privacy
Plain-language summary of what we collect and what we don't.
We use PostHog Cloud for anonymous analytics. PostHog records pageviews and outbound clicks (when you click through to a source publisher), tagged with non-identifying attributes like region (e.g. "mcallen") and language. PostHog uses cookies to recognize repeat visits within a short window; the cookies do not contain your name, email, or any other personal identifier.
What we collect
Our hosting provider (Microsoft Azure) records standard web request logs — IP address, user agent, request path — for operational and security purposes. We do not link those logs to individual users.
Newsletter signups
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and the language you signed up in (English or Spanish). We use those two pieces of information for one purpose only: to send you the newsletter. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with anyone.
The newsletter is sent through Beehiiv, an email-publishing service that stores subscriber lists on our behalf. Beehiiv records standard email-engagement signals — whether an issue was opened, which links were clicked. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every issue, and your address is removed from the active list immediately.
What we don’t do
- We never ask for your name or any personal information beyond email.
- We do not sell or share your email or analytics data with advertisers or brokers.
- We do not run ad-network tracking pixels (no Google Ads, no Facebook Pixel).
- We do not embed third-party comment systems or trackers.
Source publisher links
When you click a story, you leave this site and land on the source publisher’s page. Their privacy practices apply once you are there.
Bookmarks & preferences
Bookmarks, theme, and density settings live in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device and we never read them. Clearing site data resets them.
