Correspondence
When you email me, I receive your email address, the name you provide, your message, and any attachments. I use that information to respond to your inquiry, arrange the work you have asked about, and keep relevant correspondence.
Email and other service providers process this information as part of delivering and storing our correspondence.
Field Notes subscriptions
Subscriptions are managed through Substack. When you subscribe, Substack processes your information and makes subscriber details, including your email address, available to me as the publication’s owner.
I use those details to deliver Field Notes, manage subscriptions, respond to readers, and understand readership through the information Substack makes available. You can unsubscribe through the link in a newsletter email or through your Substack subscription settings.
Substack’s own services, cookies, and data practices are described in Substack’s Privacy Policy.

Hosting services process technical information, such as your IP address, browser details, and the pages requested, to deliver and secure this website. The hosting provider may retain operational logs for those purposes.
Fonts and images are served with the website. Links to services such as Substack and LinkedIn take you to websites with their own privacy practices.
Retention and your choices
Correspondence and subscription records are kept for the purposes described above and for applicable record-keeping obligations. Service providers may retain operational records under their own policies.
You may use the contact address above to ask about your information or request access, correction, or deletion. Requests are handled in accordance with applicable law, and I may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Substack also provides controls for information held in your Substack account.
