Privacy

There is no account here and no password. You give an email address, optionally three short answers, and that is the whole of it.

What I ask for

• Your email address — required to sign on, because the dispatch has to go somewhere. Used for that and nothing else.
• Your first name, nearest town, and what you have got in the yard — all three optional, all three fine to leave blank. They are used to print your plate and to show you on the manifest.

The public manifest

The manifest on the front page is public and is not gated. If you are on it, it shows your first name, the initial of your surname if you gave one, your nearest town, your member number and your rank. It never shows your email address, and it never shows a full surname.

You are on it by default. There is a checkbox at signup to stay off it, and you can change your mind at any time by emailing me — it comes off the same day I read the message. If you would rather appear under something other than your real name, put that in the name field; nothing checks it.

The dispatch

Signing on adds you to an email list. It goes out when something breaks or something works, which is not daily and is not on a schedule. Every message has a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing does not remove your member number or take you off the manifest — those are separate, and you can ask for either independently.

What Stripe collects

Card details are entered on Stripe's own page, never on mine. I never see or store a card number. Stripe collects your email so it can send a receipt, plus whatever your bank requires, and holds it as an independent data controller under its own privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

Where it is stored

• Your answers, member number and manifest preference: a Supabase database in the EU.
• Your email address: the same database, and the email provider that sends the dispatch.
• Payment records: Stripe.
• Hosting and server logs: Vercel.

Analytics

This page uses Vercel Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without any cross-site identifier. The four short links — /y, /t, /i and /f — record which platform a click came from, and nothing about who clicked. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel and no Meta tracking on this page.

What I never do

• Sell, rent or share your details with anyone.
• Publish your email address, your full surname, or your exact address.
• Pass your details to a sponsor, an advertiser or another creator.

How long it is kept

Payment records are kept as long as tax law requires. Your answers are kept while the plate exists, because the plate is the point. Ask and I will blank them.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what I hold, ask me to correct it, ask to come off the manifest, ask to come off the list, or ask me to delete the lot. Email the address on the contact page. If you are in the EU or UK you can also complain to your national data protection authority.
