What Joe knows (and doesn’t).

Last updated: October 2026. LinksForJoe is an editorial outreach campaign. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how to get it deleted.

What we collect

• Contact details of invited editors — name, work email, publication and role — gathered from publicly available sources to suggest an addition to a specific article.
• Campaign information — the article, the suggested sentence and link, and our reasoning.
• Your responses — if you tap a response button or send feedback on your invitation page.
• Usage data — page views and clicks on invitation pages, linked to an opaque invitation ID. We use PostHog for analytics with personal profiles disabled; we don’t send names, emails, personalized URLs or gift tokens to it.
• Abuse-prevention data — a salted hash of your IP address for rate limiting, and Cloudflare Turnstile when you claim a gift.

Gift fulfillment

If you choose to claim the optional coffee thank-you, we share your name and email address with our reward provider (Tremendous) solely to deliver it. Their privacy policy applies to the reward they send. You can decline the gift; nothing else changes.

What we don’t do

• We don’t sell or rent personal data.
• We don’t publish invitation pages, recipient lists or your replies. Invitation pages are excluded from search engines.
• We don’t send automated bulk email from this site.

Opt-outs and deletion

Use the opt-out page or the opt-out button on your invitation and we won’t contact you again. We keep a one-way hash of your email so we can honour that. To request access to or deletion of your data, email joe@linksforjoe.com.

Retention

Campaign records are kept for as long as the campaign is active and up to 24 months afterwards, then deleted. Opt-out hashes are kept indefinitely so we keep respecting them.
