What we collect
If you subscribe, SA Pulse collects your email address, the update list you selected, your confirmation and subscription status, and the dates associated with those actions. The public signup uses a challenge and a hidden spam-trap field to reduce automated abuse.
You can read the website without giving SA Pulse your name, address, phone number, or demographic information.
How we use it
Your email address is used only to send the SA Pulse updates you requested, operate double opt-in, honor unsubscribes, and handle delivery problems. SA Pulse does not sell, rent, or use the subscriber list for targeted advertising.
Every new subscription requires a confirmation click before meeting recaps begin.
Where it is stored
Subscriber records are stored with Resend, the email provider SA Pulse uses to manage the list and deliver email. Resend receives the address, subscription status, message content, and delivery information needed to send recaps and honor unsubscribes; its own privacy and security terms also apply to that processing.
The signup form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a submission comes from a person rather than an automated script. SA Pulse does not store the address anywhere else before you confirm it.
How long we keep it
An active subscriber record is kept while you receive updates. If you unsubscribe, SA Pulse may retain the address in a suppressed state so the opt-out is honored and the address is not accidentally re-added. If you request deletion, the live subscriber record is removed rather than merely unsubscribed.
An unconfirmed signup is never stored: the confirmation link carries the address itself and expires after three days.
Export, preferences, and deletion
Each email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. To export, correct, or delete your record, email admin@sapulse.org from the subscribed address. A deletion removes the record from Resend rather than merely unsubscribing it.
SA Pulse will use the request only to verify and complete the privacy action.
Website privacy
The public site is static and does not use advertising analytics. Email open and individual click tracking are disabled. A light/dark theme choice may be saved only in your browser. Transcript search runs in your browser after you submit a query; SA Pulse does not receive or store the search terms.
Opening an official recording sends you to YouTube. Opening an on-demand map loads OpenStreetMap. Those services receive the normal information your browser sends when visiting them and apply their own policies.
Questions and changes
