• To send the weekly newsletter, if you have subscribed.
• To respond to contact form inquiries.
• To measure editorial performance (aggregate views, referrers, reading time).

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us run the Site (email delivery, hosting, analytics, advertising) under contractual confidentiality. We may disclose information if required by law.
