Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy explains what personal information HN Summary ("we", "us", "our") collects, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to deliver our newsletter service:

• Email address — provided when you subscribe, used solely to deliver the newsletter.
• Language preference — your chosen newsletter language (English, Chinese, French, or Spanish).

We do not collect names, payment information, browsing history, or any other personal data. We do not use cookies or tracking scripts on our website.

How We Use Your Information

Your email address and language preference are used exclusively to:

• Send you the daily HN Summary newsletter in your chosen language.
• Provide you with a unique link to manage or cancel your subscription.

We do not sell, rent, share, or trade your email address with any third party for marketing purposes.

Email Delivery

We use Resend as our email delivery service. Your email address is shared with Resend solely for the purpose of delivering the newsletter. Resend's privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy.

Data Storage & Security

Your subscriber data is stored in a secure database on our servers. Each subscriber is assigned a unique, cryptographically random token used for authentication when managing your subscription. We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Your Rights

You have full control over your subscription at any time:

• Unsubscribe — click the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email to immediately stop receiving emails.
• Manage subscription — use the management link in your emails to switch languages.
• Data deletion — to request complete deletion of your data, contact us at the email below.

Data Retention

When you unsubscribe, we retain your email address in an inactive state so that we can honor your unsubscribe request if the same address is accidentally re-added. You may request full deletion at any time.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
