Privacy & terms
Short version: we collect your email so we can send you the newsletter, we don't sell it, and you can leave anytime.
Privacy
Who is responsible
The controller for the data processing described here is Mel Flores, Hegifeldstrasse 38, 8404 Winterthur, Switzerland — see the legal notice. For anything data-related, email privacy@themissedbit.com.
What we collect
When you subscribe, we collect your email address and which bits you chose (the AI and Tech bits). To keep The Missed Bit free, the sign-up also asks for at least one profile detail — your job function, seniority, and/or company website — which we use only in aggregate to describe our readership to sponsors, never to identify you individually. We may record basic delivery data such as whether an email was opened or a link clicked, to understand what's useful. You can object to this measurement at any time by emailing privacy@themissedbit.com.
How we use it
To send you the bits you asked for, and to operate and improve the newsletter. We do not sell or rent your data, and we don't share it except with the service providers below who help us run The Missed Bit. We send you the newsletter on the basis of your consent — you subscribe and confirm your email, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by unsubscribing. Profile details and delivery statistics are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running, securing, and describing a sponsor-funded newsletter in aggregate.
Who processes your data
We use beehiiv (beehiiv Inc., New York, USA) to store subscriptions and deliver the newsletter, and this website is served by Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., San Francisco, USA), which processes technical connection data such as IP addresses to deliver the site securely.
Both providers are based in the United States, so your data may be processed there. Cloudflare is certified under the Swiss–U.S. and EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework; beehiiv relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for these transfers. The linked privacy policies describe these safeguards and how to obtain a copy — or email privacy@themissedbit.com and we'll point you to them.
How long we keep it
For as long as you're subscribed. When you unsubscribe, your data is removed from the active list; we may keep a minimal suppression record (your email address) so you don't get contacted again, plus aggregate statistics that no longer identify you.
Your rights
- Unsubscribe anytime — one click at the bottom of every email
- Ask what data we hold about you, and request a copy
- Ask us to correct or delete your data
- Withdraw your consent at any time — unsubscribing does this for the newsletter — without affecting past processing
- Object to or restrict processing, and receive your data in a portable format
- Complain to a supervisory authority — in Switzerland the FDPIC, in the EU/EEA your local data protection authority
To exercise any of these, email privacy@themissedbit.com.
Cookies
