--- title: "Privacy Policy" description: "How ReGround collects, uses, and protects your information." --- _Last updated: July 2026_ **This is a draft.** It hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. Review before treating it as final. This policy explains what information ReGround ("I," "me") collects through reground.org and its related email courses, and what happens to it. ## What I collect - **Contact form**: the name, email address, and message you submit. - **Email courses**: the email address you sign up with, and which step of a course you've reached (so the course can be delivered at your pace). - **Newsletter list**: if you opt in at the end of a course (or by another explicit signup), your email address and name, if given. I don't use third-party analytics, ad trackers, or tracking pixels on this site. Email delivery, the course system, and the mailing list all run on infrastructure I operate myself — nothing is handed to a third-party marketing platform. ## Why I collect it - To respond to messages sent through the contact form. - To deliver the email course(s) you sign up for. - To send periodic updates to people who've explicitly opted in — never as a side effect of using the contact form or taking a course. ## What I don't do - I don't sell or rent your information to anyone. - I don't share it with third parties except the infrastructure providers necessary to run this site and send email (e.g. the hosting provider and its network) — none of whom get to use it for their own purposes. ## Your control over it - **Unsubscribe**: every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it removes you from that list immediately. - **Email courses**: courses are self-paced with no ongoing subscription — once you've received the emails, there's nothing further to opt out of unless you also joined the newsletter list. - **Deletion**: email me at [hello@reground.org](mailto:hello@reground.org) and I'll delete your information from these systems. ## Security Your information is stored on infrastructure I control directly, not handed off to third-party SaaS platforms. That doesn't make it invulnerable — no system is — but it does mean there's exactly one place your data lives, and one person accountable for it. ## Changes If this policy changes in a way that matters, I'll update the date at the top of this page. ## Questions [hello@reground.org](mailto:hello@reground.org)
