Privacy,
in plain language.
No legalese theater. This page says exactly what we collect (almost nothing), where it lives, and how to make it disappear.
Effective 20 September 2026
We collect your email address when you subscribe and use basic site-traffic analytics. Your subscription address lives in Beehiiv. We never sell or rent the list. One click unsubscribes you. One email deletes you.
What we collect
Your email address, when you choose to subscribe to the briefing, plus the basic traffic information described below. No names, no phone numbers, no reader profiles, no account system.
The site also saves a few preferences in your browser's localStorage: your theme, banners you have dismissed, and whether you already subscribed. These stay on your device. They are never sent to us.
Where it lives
Your email address is stored with Beehiiv, the platform behind the subscribe form. The daily briefing itself is sent through Google's Gmail API. Both process your address on our behalf, for the sole purpose of delivering email you asked for.
We never sell or rent the list. Not to sponsors, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
Analytics
Vercel Web Analytics measures visits and page views on public reading pages, including which pages are read and available referring sites. Our integration removes query strings and fragments from page-view URLs and excludes signup, welcome, referral and email-action routes. It sends no subscriber email address or form contents. Visits arriving from referrers with query strings or fragments are excluded. This means the traffic totals may undercount visits. We do not use this integration to track lesson completion or identify individual subscribers.
A separate Google tag remains on the landing page. Its presence does not establish that campaign attribution or subscription delivery has been verified. Embedded players are covered below. Learn more about Vercel Web Analytics privacy.
Embedded content
Some pages load third-party content:
- YouTube embeds for the daily video. Embedded YouTube players set YouTube and Google cookies when you interact with them.
- Vercel hosts the site and the subscribe endpoint, and processes standard server logs (including IP addresses) to serve pages.
- Google Fonts for the site's typefaces.
- Supabase storage for audio and images.
Like any web request, those servers see your IP address when the content loads. We do not pass them anything else about you.
Your rights
Unsubscribe with one click in every email, or via the link in the footer. It takes effect immediately.
Delete your data by emailing hello@koda.community. We remove your address from the list, and it is gone.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the effective date at the top. We will not quietly expand what we collect.
