Subscription and data
This page describes the actual data path for the AI Does the Work. People Own the Outcome. digest.
Legal review date: 2026-08-11. This is the public policy and consent text for this form. It is not personal legal advice.
Wherever you live, this page applies to you, because it describes what this site does with the address you type in. The legal references below are Russian: the operator is based in Russia, so Russian personal data law is what binds him. They are his obligations, not a statement about your rights at home. Whatever your own country grants you applies on top of what is described here.
Who processes the data
The data operator is Denis Ermilov, the author of this project. To ask about your data, correct an address, or withdraw consent, use the contact details on the About the project page.
What the subscription record contains
The record contains:
- your email address;
- the issue language, RU or EN;
- a technical identifier for the page where you submitted the form;
- the date and time of subscription;
- confirmation of both consents and the version of the consent text.
We do not ask for your name, phone number, or identity documents. The subscription record does not contain your raw IP address or an IP hash. Hosting systems may process standard network logs for security and reliability. Those logs are not part of the mailing list and are not used to send email.
Purpose and legal basis
We use the data only to manage the subscription and send digest issues, usually one email a week. The legal basis for processing the address is your separate consent. A second required checkbox records your agreement to receive email. The form rejects the address unless you give both consents.
We do not sell the address, add it to another mailing list, or send it to advertising platforms.
What happens after you submit the form
The site receives the form on a Vercel server and sends the record over a secure connection to the separate digest backend on HostKey infrastructure. The persistent subscriber list stays in that backend under the author's control. Vercel Web Analytics does not receive the email address, form values, or subscriber list.
The system performs only the operations needed for the subscription: collection, recording, organization, storage, correction, retrieval for delivery, blocking, and deletion.
Retention and deletion
We keep the address while the subscription is active. Unsubscribing stops delivery and removes the address and its subscription events from the working log. The service does this immediately after a valid unsubscribe request. If you withdraw consent by contacting the author, the request will be handled without undue delay and within the time limits in Russian personal data law.
Every sent issue must include an unsubscribe link. Email delivery has not launched yet, so you can withdraw consent through the contact details on the About the project page.
Records created before consent version 2026-08-11 are not treated as if they had accepted the new terms. They are excluded from the active delivery list until the operator either obtains fresh consent or deletes the legacy record.
Your rights
You can ask what data is processed, correct the address, withdraw consent, ask us to stop processing, or request deletion. Include the email address you used so that we can find the right record.
Separate consent to process your email
By selecting the first checkbox and submitting the form, you freely and clearly agree that Denis Ermilov may process the data listed above to manage your subscription and send the digest. The consent covers the listed operations. It lasts until you unsubscribe or withdraw it. You can withdraw it through the link in an email or by contacting the author.
The second checkbox separately records your agreement to receive issues by email. The consent text used by the form is version 2026-08-11.
Legal and operational boundary
This page closes the review of the public wording and its match with the implemented data flow. It does not by itself prove that the operator has completed external administrative steps, including a Roskomnadzor notification or the Russian database localization requirement. The operator must check those duties separately against the storage location and any applicable exception.
