1. Summary
The Institute collects no personal information from visitors who read this site. If you subscribe to the newsletter, the Institute collects your email address. That is the complete inventory.
2. Reading the site
This is a static website. It has no accounts, no analytics scripts, no advertising, and sets no tracking cookies. The Institute does not know who you are and has made no arrangements to find out.
3. Infrastructure
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. In delivering and securing the site, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses and request logs under its own terms; see the Cloudflare privacy policy.
The site's typefaces are served by Google Fonts. Your browser requests font files directly from Google's servers, which necessarily receive your IP address; see the Google privacy policy.
4. The newsletter
The Institute's newsletter is operated through Buttondown, which processes subscriber email addresses on the Institute's behalf under the Buttondown privacy policy. Subscription is voluntary and confirmed by double opt-in. Every issue contains an unsubscribe link, which works. Replies to newsletter issues are handled by Buttondown before they reach the Institute. The list is used to send the newsletter and for no other purpose.
5. Correspondence
If you write to inquiries@normalcy.institute, your message is routed by Cloudflare Email Routing (see the Cloudflare privacy policy) and delivered to a mailbox hosted by Proton Mail (see the Proton privacy policy). The Institute will then possess your email address and whatever you chose to say. Both are retained as ordinary correspondence and disclosed to no one.
6. What the Institute does not do
- Sell, rent, or share personal information.
- Operate advertising or permit third-party trackers.
- Profile visitors, individually or in aggregate.
- Retain data it has no reason to hold.
7. Requests
To have your email address removed from the subscriber list or from correspondence records, write to inquiries@normalcy.institute. Removal is performed promptly and without a survey about why you are leaving.
8. Changes
Material changes to this policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. The Institute does not anticipate collecting more than it does now, and would regard the impulse with suspicion.
