When you subscribe to the AISE Pulse Brief newsletter, we collect your email address. That's it. We don't ask for your name, phone number, employer, or any other personal information at signup.

Data Storage and Security
Newsletter subscriber emails are stored in a Cloudflare D1 database. Cloudflare maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. We do not store passwords or payment information because we don't require accounts or payments.

Each of these services has their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.
Cookies
AISE Pulse uses minimal cookies:
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These cookies do not contain personal information.
- Local storage: We use browser local storage to remember if you've dismissed the newsletter popup (30-day cooldown). This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.
