Curio is a publication, not a data business. We only collect the information we need to run the newsletter, answer your messages, and understand which articles are useful.
Newsletter
When you subscribe to The Curio Brief, we collect your email address so we can send you the newsletter. We use it for that purpose only. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list. We do not sell or rent your email address to anyone.
Contact form
When you use our contact form or an inquiry form, we collect the details you choose to provide, typically your name, email, an optional company or website, what you are interested in, and your message. We use this solely to respond to you and, where relevant, to manage an advertising or contributor relationship. We do not use contact submissions for marketing unless you separately opt in to the newsletter.
Cookies and analytics
We use privacy-conscious analytics to understand aggregate traffic, which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, so we can improve our coverage. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally. We do not run intrusive ad-tracking networks. Where cookies are used, they are limited to what keeps the site working and measures general usage; you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings without breaking the site's core reading experience.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination site may set its own cookies to attribute a referral to us, that happens on their site under their privacy policy, not ours, per general guidance on affiliate and outbound links. See our how our affiliate links work for how this works and how it is kept separate from our editorial.
Your data and your rights
You can ask us what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, rights that broadly mirror those described in the EU's GDPR overview, even outside jurisdictions where it applies directly. To unsubscribe from the newsletter. Use the link in any email. For anything else, a data request, a correction, or removal, email hello@oncurio.com and we will action it. We keep contact and subscriber data only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was given.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and its "last updated" date. Material changes to the newsletter will be communicated to subscribers directly.
