🔒 The Privacy Policy
Most privacy policies are forty pages of lawyer fog designed to make you stop reading. Frank doesn't hold with that. Here is the whole policy, in plain English, short enough to actually read. It says what it means and means what it says.
What Frank collects
Your email address, when you type it into one of the sign-up forms on this site, and nothing you didn't hand over yourself. If you write to Frank or fill out the sponsor form, Frank keeps that correspondence the way anyone keeps letters.
What it's used for
Sending you Frank's Five, once a week, on Fridays. That's the whole list. Your address is not used for "special offers," "partner communications," or any other euphemism for mail you didn't ask for.
Never sold, never shared
Your email address is never sold, rented, traded, or shared with anyone. Not with sponsors, not with "trusted partners," not with anybody. Sponsors buy a blurb in the newsletter; they do not buy so much as a peek at the subscriber list. Frank would sooner close the almanac.
Stored securely
The subscriber list is stored securely and treated like what it is: a list of names entrusted to Frank personally. Access is limited to what's needed to send the newsletter, and nothing more.
Unsubscribing
Every issue carries an unsubscribe link. Click it and you're off the list immediately — not "within 7–10 business days," not after a survey about your feelings. Immediately. You can also just email frank@franksfacts.com and say "take me off," and Frank will, with no hard feelings.
No tracking pixels, no ad networks
This site uses no tracking pixels, no ad networks, and no third-party trackers of any kind. Frank doesn't follow you around the internet, doesn't build a profile of you, and doesn't much care what you had for breakfast unless it's a food fact with two sources. The badge in the footer says "100% Pop-Up Free" and it has told the truth since 2003.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you want to know exactly what Frank has on file for you (spoiler: an email address), write to frank@franksfacts.com. If this policy ever changes in a way that matters, Frank will announce it at the top of an issue, in bold, like a gentleman — the same way he runs corrections.
