Privacy, in plain words

What we collect

• Your email address, if you sign up for the newsletter. Along with it we save which country edition you were viewing and which page you signed up on, so we can send you the right emails.
• What you send us. If you email us or share something you've seen, we keep that message so we can read it and, with your OK, use it anonymously to warn others.

What we don't collect

• No accounts, no passwords.
• No advertising trackers, and we don't sell or share data with advertisers.
• Nothing you type into search. Search runs inside your browser. Your words never leave your device.

What's saved on your device

Two small settings are saved in your browser so the site remembers them: the country you picked and whether you turned on larger text. They stay on your device and aren't sent to us.

Who else is involved

• Our email service. We keep the newsletter list with an email service provider, which uses it only to send our emails for us.
• Our web host. Like any website, the company that hosts this one keeps basic technical logs (such as IP addresses) to keep the site running and secure.
• Links to other sites. Our sources and our social accounts are on other websites, which have their own privacy policies.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe from any email with one click.
• Ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it: hello@heydoublecheck.com.

Stories people share with us

We anonymize by default. We remove names and personal details, cover them with solid bars in screenshots, and only use someone's story with their OK.

Children

This site is written for adults and families. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
