Privacy note

Last updated: 2026

Plain-language version: this is a small educational website. We don't run intrusive tracking, we don't sell your information, and we only ever hold the email address you choose to give us.

What we collect

• If you join the newsletter: your email address, and your first name if you choose to add one. That's used to send you the checklist and occasional updates, nothing else.
• Basic, privacy-respecting site statistics: like most websites we may keep aggregate counts of page views to understand what's helpful. This scaffold ships with no analytics or advertising trackers enabled.

What we never ask for

We will never ask you for your Medicare number, Social Security number, date of birth, bank or card details, or passwords. Not on this site, not by email, and not in a video. Anyone claiming to be us and asking for those things is not us. That's exactly the kind of scam the channel teaches you to spot.

Email and third parties

When the newsletter goes live, emails will be managed by a reputable email service provider, and your address will be stored with them for the sole purpose of sending you the newsletter. We don't sell, rent, or trade your email address. You can unsubscribe from any email in one click, and doing so removes you from the list.

Cookies

This site runs without advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If that ever changes, this note will be updated first.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
• Ask us what email data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it.
