The short version
- If you subscribe, we hold your email address so we can send you the issue.
- The sign-up form may also ask for your role, company size and country. These are optional.
- The website counts visits anonymously, with no cookies and nothing that identifies you. It runs no advertising or tracking scripts.
- A few features remember your settings in your own browser. We never see them.
- We never sell, rent or share your email address.
- You can unsubscribe in one click and ask us to delete your data at any time.
In this policy “we” means Seventy and the people who publish it.
When you subscribe
You sign up on our own page. Your address is kept on our subscriber list, on servers run by Supabase, and goes to our email provider, Resend, only so the email can be delivered. You are subscribed as soon as you sign up, and every email has a link to leave in one click. We also note your device’s time zone (for example “Asia/Dubai”), and never your location, so the email arrives in your morning.
What we ask for, and why:
- Email address, to send you Seventy. It is all we ask for.
We use these only for Seventy. We do not add you to any other list.
The email itself
We do not track whether you opened an issue or which links you clicked: the email carries no tracking pixel and its links are not rewritten. We keep a record of which issues were sent to you and whether delivery failed. The Useful and Not useful links count only the vote you choose to give.
Every issue has a one-click unsubscribe link. It stops all email from us straight away.
When you visit the website
The site loads no advertising scripts and no tracking pixels, and sets no cookies for readers. What you type into search is used to show results and is not saved.
To know which pages are read, we use Vercel Web Analytics, run by our hosting provider. It counts page views anonymously: it sets no cookies, stores no IP address, and recognises a repeat visit only for 24 hours, by a code that is then thrown away. It records the page, the site you came from, your country and your device and browser type, and we only ever see totals. Unsubscribe links and our own editing pages are never counted.
Some features remember your choices in your own browser only: the topics you track, the companies you watch on the Morning desk, when you last visited, your reading streak and your quiz answers. This information never leaves your device and we cannot see it. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes it.
The only cookie the site sets belongs to the publisher, for signing in to the editing tools. Readers never receive it.
Like every website, ours runs on servers that record basic technical details of each request, such as your IP address, the page asked for and your browser type, to keep the service working and secure. These records are kept by our hosting provider.
If you post on Connect
When you post a discussion or reply on Connect, we store what you choose to publish: your name, an optional role or company line, and your text. We also store a scrambled copy of the removal code you are given, so that only you can take the post down. Every post is reviewed before it appears; before a person reads it, our AI provider reads it once to flag likely spam. We do not store your email address or IP address with it. You can remove a post at any time on the removal page, or ask us by email.
When you ask our AI
Some pages have an AI button: an answer on Ask, a question about a story, a week's summary of a topic you track, and the analysis in a Market Brief. Nothing is sent until you press it. When you do, what you typed (your question, your topic, or your brief answers) and the stories it draws on are sent to our AI provider to write the answer.
Answers on Ask and about a story are kept for up to seven days, so the same question is not paid for twice. We keep the answer, not your question, and nothing that says who asked. Topic summaries and Market Briefs are not kept at all. Please do not type personal information into these boxes.
So that everyone gets a fair share, we count how many answers each visitor asks for in a day. The count is kept against a scrambled code made from your network address and the date, never the address itself, and it is deleted after a day.
Who helps us run Seventy
- Resend
- Delivers our emails. It receives your address and the email itself.
- Vercel
- Hosts the website and keeps its server records.
- Supabase
- Stores the subscriber list, the news stories we publish and Connect posts.
- AI provider
- Helps sort news stories and write our summaries. It receives the headlines and short descriptions of news stories, and, only when you press an AI button, what you typed there (see “When you ask our AI”). Today this is OpenRouter, which passes them to Anthropic's Claude.
- News publishers
- We do not load anything from publishers' websites on our pages. When you follow a link to a story, their privacy policy applies.
These services may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States and India.
What we never do
- Sell, rent or trade your email address.
- Give your details to sponsors. If Seventy carries sponsors, they are labelled and never receive our subscriber list. See advertising.
- Add you to our list unless you sign up yourself.
Your rights, and how to delete your data
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- tell you what information we hold about you;
- correct it if it is wrong;
- delete it;
- stop sending you email, which the unsubscribe link does instantly.
To delete everything, email privacy@seventy.news from the address you subscribed with and we will remove you from our list. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and it is as easy as giving it. Depending on where you live, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, the EU and UK GDPR, or US state privacy laws, you may have further rights and can complain to your data protection authority.
How long we keep things
We keep your details while you are subscribed. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete you, we remove them, except where the law requires a record that you opted out, so we do not email you again by mistake.
Children
Seventy is written for founders and business leaders and is not meant for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change matters, for example if we start collecting something new, we will tell subscribers in the newsletter first.
Contact
For any question about your information, or to see or delete it, email privacy@seventy.news. We reply within 30 days.
