Privacy, plainly.
We collect as little as possible, we don't sell your data, and we tell you what we keep. Last updated June 2026.
The short version: reading is anonymous, membership needs an email, and we never sell your information.
What we collect
- Readers — nothing that identifies you personally. We use privacy-respecting analytics to count visits. You never have to give us anything to read BC.
- Free email notices — just your email address, so we can send the dispatch. Nothing more.
- Members — your name and email address. Payments are handled by our processor, so we never see your card details.
How we use it
To send the dispatch, run your membership, publish your comments under the name you choose, and understand which pieces resonate. That's all.
What we don't do
We don't sell or rent your data, we don't run third-party ad trackers, and we don't share your details except with the service providers who help us run the site (email, payments) under strict terms.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from any email in one click.
- Ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to delete your account entirely, at any time.
- Manage cookies through your browser settings.
