Who we are
Five Before Monday is a weekly newsletter run by [legal name], based in the Republic of Korea. Contact: .
What we collect
- Your email address, when you sign up for the free brief or the founding list.
- Email activity, such as whether an email was opened or a link clicked, so we can tell what readers find useful.
- Payment details, once paid plans open. Payments are handled by our payment provider; we never see or store your card number.
- Basic technical data, such as IP address and browser type, kept briefly in our hosting provider's logs.
Why we use it
- To send the newsletters you asked for (our lawful basis: your consent, and our contract with paying members).
- To run and improve the service, and keep it secure (our legitimate interests).
- To meet tax and accounting duties for paid plans (legal obligation).
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for other companies' advertising.
Who processes it for us
- Kit (email delivery and subscriber list), United States.
- Vercel (website hosting), United States.
- Lemon Squeezy (payments, as merchant of record), United States, once paid plans open.
These providers may store data outside your country. Where required, transfers rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
How long we keep it
We keep your email while you're subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we keep only a record that you opted out, so we don't email you again. Payment records are kept as long as tax law requires.
Your rights
You can unsubscribe from any email with one click. If you're in the UK or EU, you can also ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, or object to how we use it, and you can complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO). Email and we'll reply within 30 days.
