Plain answers
What I keep, and what I do with it
EducatedTraveler is one person — me, Arnaud Callier. When you write to me
through this site, this is everything that happens to what you wrote. No clauses, no
third-person company voice. If something here is not clear, ask me and I will say it better.
What I keep
Only what you actually typed. Nothing is bought about you, and there is no profile built
behind your back.
- Your first name and email — so I can write back, and so the Circle
note reaches you. Kept only if you ticked the box saying I may.
- What you wrote me — the note itself. I read them myself.
- The craft you named — this is how I work out which weeks are worth
building. It is the single most useful thing you can tell me.
- Your answer about a week you joined — when I send you the page that asks
what you would come to around a week, I keep your name, your email and what you ticked,
so I know what to arrange and can write back.
- A photo, on /chain only — and only if you chose one.
The photo, said plainly
A photo you add on /chain travels inside the link you send. That means
whoever holds the link can open it — including anyone your friend forwards it to. It is
blurred until they answer, but that is a curiosity gate, not a lock:
someone determined can get past it. Send a photo you would not mind a stranger seeing.
Photos are deleted automatically after 90 days, swept nightly. You can
also remove yours at any time before that, with the Remove my photo button on
/chain — it appears on the device you sent it from, because that device holds the only
proof it was yours.
What I never do
- I never sell your details, and I never pass them to anyone to market to you.
- I do not sell advertising space on EducatedTraveler. That one is permanent.
- I do not send a drip. One note when something real happens for your craft.
- There is no tracking pixel in my emails to see whether you opened them.
Who else touches it
I do not run my own servers, so a few companies necessarily handle this on the way through.
The full list, not a sample:
- Supabase — the database, the file storage and the sign-in links.
- Resend — sends the emails I write to you.
- Plausible — counts page visits. No cookies, and it does not identify you.
- GitHub Pages — serves these pages to your browser.
- jsDelivr — serves one JavaScript library the pages use.
- Revolut, PayPal or a bank transfer — only if you actually pay for a seat,
and only that payment.
How long I keep it
- Photos on /chain — 90 days, then deleted automatically.
- Everything else — until you ask me to remove it, or until I close the
Circle. I do not delete your note the moment you unsubscribe, because the craft you named
is what tells me a week is worth building; if you want it gone as well, say so and it goes.
Getting it removed
Write to arnaudcallier@pm.me and say what you want
gone. You do not need a reason and you do not need to be polite about it. Every note I send
also has a one-click way out at the bottom.
If you would rather see what I hold about you first, ask for that instead and I will send it.
Children
This is not built for children, and I do not knowingly keep anything from anyone under 16.
Written by me, about what the site actually does — I checked the
code rather than describing an intention. If you are a lawyer and it shows, that is because
I am not one. Tell me what is missing and I will fix it.
