Summary
Frequently asked
How do I get off the list?
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. It takes effect immediately, and we keep a record only so we do not email you again.
Will my address be passed on?
Your address is not passed on, sold or rented. That applies to advertisers as much as anyone else.
How much email is this?
Every week, one issue. Partner offers arrive separately.
Does it cost anything?
It costs nothing. No account, no card, no upgrade prompt.
