Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 14, 2026
This website, paul-shapiro.com, is run by Paul Shapiro. This policy explains what information the site collects and how it's used.
What I collect
Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe, your email address (and name, if you provide it) is collected by Flodesk, the service I use to send my newsletter.
Contact form. If you send a message through the Contact page, I receive your name, email address, and message so I can reply.
Analytics and cookies. Like most websites, this site uses cookies and analytics tools (Squarespace Analytics and Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use it, such as pages visited, browser type, and general location. This information is used in aggregate, not to identify you personally.
How it's used
Only to send the newsletter you signed up for, respond to your messages, and improve the site. I don't sell or rent your personal information.
Third-party services
This site is hosted by Squarespace, and the newsletter is sent through Flodesk. These companies process data on my behalf under their own privacy policies. Links to other sites (such as Substack, social media, or book retailers) are governed by those sites' policies.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's opt-out browser add-on. To ask what information I have about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, please reach out through the Contact page.
Children
This site isn't directed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
