What we collect
If you subscribe to The Verifier - In Brief, we hold the email address you gave us, and use it for the briefing and for the occasional announcement described at signup - nothing else. If you submit a claim or contact us through a form, we hold what you wrote in order to act on it, and your email if you chose to include one for credit or reply.
What we don’t do
We do not run third-party advertising, sell or share reader data, or set tracking cookies. The site’s search runs entirely in your browser; queries are not sent to us. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which involves your browser requesting files from Google’s servers - the only third-party request this site makes.
Where form data lives
Form submissions are received and stored by our hosting provider on our behalf, and by our email-newsletter provider for subscriptions. We keep them only as long as needed for the purpose you gave them to us.
Your rights
You can unsubscribe from any email using the link it carries. Under UK and EU data-protection law you may ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it - use the contact form and we will act on it promptly.
If our practices change - for example, if we ever add analytics - this page will change first, and a consent mechanism will be added where the law requires one.
