Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This page explains what information Sovereign AI Journal collects when you use this site, why, and what you can do about it. We collect the minimum needed to run the newsletter and comment sections below — nothing is sold, and nothing is shared beyond what's described here.
What we collect
Newsletter signups: your email address, and the date you subscribed. That's it — no name, no tracking pixel tied to your identity beyond standard email delivery stats.
Comments: the name you type in, the comment text, and — only if you choose to provide one — an email address used solely so we can follow up with you about your comment. We do not publish your email address, and it is never shown to other visitors.
Standard server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical data (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and reliability. We don't use this for tracking or advertising.
How we use it
- Email addresses are used to send the Sovereign Dispatch newsletter you signed up for, and nothing else.
- Comments are reviewed before they appear publicly, to keep discussion on-topic and spam-free.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties.
Where it's stored
Subscriber and comment data is stored in a managed Postgres database (Vercel Postgres / Neon). The site itself is hosted on Vercel. Both providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments; neither uses your data for their own purposes.
Your choices
- Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us directly to be removed.
- To request that a comment or subscription be deleted, contact us using the details below.
Cookies
This site does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any cookies in use are strictly functional (for example, remembering your place in a form).
