Founding Code collects an email address only when you ask to be on the 6 A.M. brief. We use it to send that brief and nothing else. We do not sell the list. We do not share it with advertisers.

The list is kept by Beehiiv, our mail processor. A confirmation mail is sent before you are added. Every brief carries an unsubscribe link. You may also write contact@foundingcode.com and we will remove you.

The site stores a small note in your browser so the form knows you have already subscribed. Headlines you clip stay on this device. We do not use those clips to build a profile.

Correspondence, corrections, and tips sent to the desk are read by the editor and are not added to the brief unless you also subscribe.
