Plainly
Privacy
The short version: this site remembers what it needs to keep your place in the show, and nothing else.
What gets stored
If you sign on to the list: your email address, the day you signed on and which part of the site you signed on from. If you sign in to open an episode early: that same address, linked to a sign-in. Without either, the site keeps which episodes you’ve watched in your own browser’s storage — it never leaves your device.
Cookies
A sign-in cookie so you stay signed in, and local browser storage for your place in the show. No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, no analytics that follow you anywhere else. The site counts plays and sign-ons for itself, without names or addresses.
Video
The episodes play through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player, which only loads when you press play. From that moment YouTube’s own privacy policy applies to the player, as it would on YouTube itself.
Two kinds, kept strictly apart: the practical kind (sign-in codes) that the site can’t work without, and the optional kind (one email the moment a new episode opens for you) that you opt into and can end with one click, forever.
Payments
Nothing is sold on this site, so it never asks for card details.
Deletion
Ask, and it’s gone — the address, the sign-in and everything attached to it. Write to me from the address you signed up with.
This is the plain-English promise; the formal legal text, when it arrives, will say the same things in longer sentences.
