Newsletter

If you subscribe to the Dezain Radar Daily Wrap, we store your email address, your IANA timezone (so we can deliver at the end of your day, in your local time), the timestamp of your sign-up, the page you signed up from, and the IP address and browser user agent of your sign-up request. This data is used solely to (a) send you a confirmation email (double opt-in), (b) send the Daily Wrap after you confirm, and (c) prove valid consent if challenged under GDPR or similar laws.

Email delivery is processed by Resend (resend.com), acting as our processor. We do not share your email address with any other third party and do not use it for advertising. Every digest includes a one-click unsubscribe link and an RFC 8058 List-Unsubscribe header. When you unsubscribe, we mark your record as unsubscribed and stop sending; we retain the record solely to honour the opt-out and prevent re-subscription without explicit consent.

Featured Designer (third-party personal data)

When we run the editorial Featured Designer module, we process a limited set of personal data about the featured designer: name, professional title, short bio, portrait, and public social or portfolio links.

Source: publicly available professional profiles and public statements.

Legal basis: legitimate interests in editorial commentary on the AI and design field; GDPR Art. 85 (processing for journalistic purposes) where applicable.

Designers may request access, correction, or removal at dezainradar@proton.me. We will act promptly.

Children

Not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect children's data.

Security

We apply reasonable safeguards. No system is completely secure.

Changes

We may update this policy. Continued use means acceptance.
