Privacy notice
What As Agents Only collects, why, how long it is kept and the choices you have. Written to the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, and to the privacy laws of other places our readers live.
Who is responsible
The data controller for asagentsonly.com and the daily email is the publisher of As Agents Only. Write to desk@asagentsonly.com about anything in this notice, including any request to exercise your rights.
What we collect, and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your email address, the page you subscribed from, the wording you agreed to, and when you subscribed, confirmed or unsubscribed | Sending the daily email you asked for, and proving that you asked | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link | While you are subscribed; deleted within 30 days of unsubscribing. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted after 30 days. |
| A record of each daily email sent to you, with the delivery provider's message reference | Sending each day's email once only, and handling delivery problems | Your consent, as above | Deleted with your subscription record |
| A one-way hash of your IP address when you submit the sign-up form | Stopping repeated or automated sign-ups | Our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure | 24 hours |
| The country your connection comes from, as reported by our host at the moment you load a page | Showing the briefings for your region first | Our legitimate interest in showing relevant content | Not stored by us. Only the resulting region is kept, in your own browser, until you change or clear it. |
| Technical request data (IP address, browser type, page requested), processed by our hosting provider | Delivering pages and protecting the site from attack | Our legitimate interest in running a secure website | As set by the provider's own retention policy |
| What you write to us, and your address | Answering you, and handling corrections and requests | Our legitimate interest in replying | As long as needed to deal with your message |
We do not sell or share personal data, show advertising, build profiles or use your data for automated decisions. The daily email carries no tracking pixel. Links in it carry a campaign label (for example utm_source=daily) that tells us a visit came from the email, and nothing that identifies you.
Who processes data for us
- Supabase stores the subscriber list (servers in the United States).
- Resend delivers the confirmation and daily emails (United States).
- Cloudflare hosts the website and its network (worldwide).
Each acts only on our instructions under a data processing agreement. Because this means personal data is transferred to the United States, transfers from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland rely on those agreements, which incorporate the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK addendum.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- tell you what personal data we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct it, or delete it;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- send it to you or to another service in a portable format.
You can withdraw consent to the daily email at any time with the link at the foot of every email, which takes effect immediately. For anything else, write to desk@asagentsonly.com. We answer within one month. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you may also complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office). California residents have the rights to know, delete and correct, and the right not to have their data sold or shared; we do neither.
Children
The site and the daily email are written for working professionals and are not directed at anyone under 16.
Cookies
The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. What it keeps in your browser, and how to clear it, is listed in the cookie policy.
