What we collect
When you read articles, no account is required and we collect only anonymised technical data — your browser, country, and the pages you view — to understand which research is most useful to our readership.
When you subscribe to a newsletter, write a reader letter, or contact the editorial desk, we keep the name and email address you provide so we can deliver the dispatch you requested or reply to your enquiry.
Why we collect it
Operational: deliver the site, the newsletter, and replies to your messages.
Editorial: understand which markets, regions, and authors readers want more of.
Security: detect abusive traffic, spam, or attempts to interfere with the site.
Who we share it with
We do not sell reader data. We share data only with the providers strictly required to operate the site — our hosting provider, our newsletter delivery service, and our analytics provider — and only the minimum needed for them to do their job.
Your rights
You can unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of the email, or by writing to hello@preciousmetalacademy.com. You can request a copy or deletion of any personal data we hold by writing to the same address.
