BrockHutchins.com respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, subscribe to email updates, create a member account, comment on content, or otherwise interact with the site.

  • Your email address when you subscribe or create a member account
  • Your name, if you choose to provide it
  • Your newsletter and communication preferences
  • Information included in comments, messages, or inquiries

Website and usage information

The site may collect limited information about how visitors and members interact with its content, including:

  • Pages and articles viewed
  • Referring websites or sources

  • Browser, device, and operating-system information
  • Dates and times of visits

BrockHutchins.com currently uses Ghost’s first-party website analytics. Ghost describes these analytics as cookie-free and states that they do not use persistent browser storage to identify visitors across sessions, browsers, or devices. When a member is signed in, Ghost may associate content views with that member’s account to provide audience and engagement information.

  • Deliver requested newsletters and email updates
  • Manage subscriptions and member accounts
  • Authenticate members through secure sign-in links or codes

Personal information is not sold.

Email communications

When you subscribe, you may receive new articles, publication updates, or related communications from BrockHutchins.com.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an email. You may also manage your subscription preferences through your member account where available.

Transactional messages, such as subscription confirmations, secure sign-in links, account notices, or responses to inquiries, may still be sent when necessary to provide a service you requested.

Ghost and service providers

BrockHutchins.com is hosted and operated using Ghost. Ghost may process information necessary to provide website hosting, memberships, email delivery, analytics, security, and related technical services.

Information may also be processed by other service providers used to operate the website, send communications, prevent abuse, or maintain technical performance. These providers are permitted to process information only for the services they provide.

The site may add or change service providers as its functionality evolves. This policy will be updated when a change materially affects how personal information is handled.

Cookies and similar technologies

Ghost’s native website analytics are currently configured to operate without analytics cookies or persistent browser storage used to track visitors across different sessions or devices.

Certain essential technologies may still be used to provide requested functionality, such as:

  • Maintaining a signed-in member session
  • Remembering account or subscription status
  • Securing forms and authentication
  • Preventing spam, fraud, or abuse

If third-party analytics, advertising, embedded media, or other services that use nonessential cookies are added in the future, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated.

Comments and public information

When commenting is available, information you submit in a public comment may be visible to other visitors. Do not include sensitive, confidential, or personal information in public comments.

BrockHutchins.com may moderate or remove comments that are abusive, unlawful, misleading, promotional, irrelevant, or otherwise inappropriate.

Data retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Maintain an active subscription or account
  • Deliver requested communications
  • Respond to inquiries
  • Maintain appropriate business and security records
  • Meet legal, regulatory, or operational requirements

Subscription and account information may be retained until you unsubscribe, request deletion, or the information is no longer reasonably required.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups, security logs, or records that must be retained for legitimate legal or operational reasons.
