Privacy Policy.

1. Our Commitment to Quiet

At Marginalia, we extend our philosophy of slow, deliberate reading to how we handle your data. We believe in minimal collection, maximum transparency, and absolute respect for your digital privacy. We do not sell your information. We do not track you across the internet.

2. Information We Collect

When you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us directly, we collect only what you explicitly provide:

• Your email address, used solely to deliver our quarterly issues or respond to your inquiries.
• Any voluntary information you include in a letter or submission.
• Basic, anonymized analytics (such as which essays are read most frequently) to help us curate future issues.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your email is a channel for conversation, not a commodity. We use it to send you our journal, respond to your letters, and occasionally ask for your feedback on future topics. You will never receive marketing from third parties through us.

4. Data Storage and Security

We rely on reputable, privacy-conscious service providers to store our correspondence. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We retain your email address only for as long as you remain subscribed, after which it is permanently deleted from our servers.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, simply send us a letter at privacy@marginalia.com. We will respond within 30 days.
