Privacy policy.
What we collect, how we use it, and what we don't do. The short version: very little, and never sold.
1. Who we are
NRI Outpost is a personal informational website operated as a project by an individual based in the United States. Contact: hello@nrioutpost.com.
2. What information we collect
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | If you sign up for the newsletter | To send you the monthly digest of NRI-relevant updates. Nothing else. |
| Section votes (anonymous) | When you click "Yes, useful" or "Could be better" | To improve content. Stored as a simple counter; no link to you. |
| Checklist progress | When you tick checklist items | Stored only in your own browser (localStorage). Never sent to us. |
| Aggregate analytics | On every page view (if enabled) | To understand which pages are useful. Cloudflare Web Analytics — no cookies, no individual tracking. |
| Email content (if you write to us) | If you email hello@nrioutpost.com | To respond to your message. We keep correspondence in our email account. |
We do not collect: your IP address (Cloudflare may briefly handle it as part of routing, but we don't store or analyze it), your name (unless you give it to us in an email), your physical location, your browsing history on other sites, or any other identifying data.
3. Cookies, Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
The Site does not set any cookies of its own. Cloudflare Web Analytics — the only analytics tool we use — explicitly does not use cookies and does not fingerprint visitors. Your browser may store small amounts of data in localStorage to remember your checklist progress and feedback votes, but this data never leaves your browser.
Because we do not track our visitors across third-party websites and do not use tracking cookies, the Site does not alter its behavior in response to browser "Do Not Track" (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals — there is nothing to opt out of. If you subscribe to the newsletter and want us to delete your email, see Section 7.
4. Third-party services we rely on
To keep the Site running, we use a small number of trusted third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Cloudflare — hosting, DNS, and Web Analytics. Privacy policy.
- Buttondown — newsletter delivery, if you subscribe. Your email goes to them so they can send you mail. Privacy policy.
- Frankfurter.app — public, free currency rates API used by the converter. We send no personal data; only currency codes.
- Bunny Fonts (
fonts.bunny.net) — typography served via a GDPR-friendly CDN that does not log IP addresses, does not set cookies, and does not track or profile visitors. About Bunny Fonts.
We previously loaded fonts from Google Fonts. We migrated away from Google's CDN in May 2026 to remove the residual GDPR risk of IP-address sharing with a US third party.
5. How we use your email
If you subscribe to the newsletter, we use your email only to send you the newsletter and occasional related updates. We never share it, sell it, or use it for any other purpose. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. Once you unsubscribe, your address is removed from our active list.
6. Data retention
- Newsletter emails: retained until you unsubscribe or until the newsletter ends. After unsubscribe, your address is removed within 7 days.
- Aggregate vote counts: retained indefinitely as anonymous numeric counters — there is no link to you to delete.
- Analytics data: retained as defined by Cloudflare, typically up to 6 months for the free tier.
- Email correspondence: retained for up to 12 months after the resolution of your query to provide ongoing support, after which it is archived or deleted. You can request earlier deletion at any time (see Section 7).
7. Your rights
You have the following rights with respect to any personal data we hold about you:
- Right to access / know — find out what personal data we have about you. Just email us.
- Right to rectification / correction — fix incorrect or out-of-date data we hold (e.g., update your subscribed email address).
- Right to erasure / deletion — ask us to permanently delete your data. We will remove your address from any list within 7 days of a verified request.
- Right to object or restrict processing — tell us to stop or limit how we use your data.
- Right to unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every newsletter email — one-click, no questions asked.
- Right to data portability — request an export of your data in a common format.
- Right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority if you believe we have mishandled your data.
If you're in the European Union or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you these rights. If you're in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) gives you similar rights — including the right to know what data we have, request deletion, opt out of any sale or sharing (we don't sell or share your data either way), and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise any right, email hello@nrioutpost.com. We honor these rights regardless of where you live.
8. Children
NRI Outpost is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please email us and we'll delete it.
9. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the small amount of data we collect — including using HTTPS for all traffic, hosting on reputable providers, and not collecting data we don't need. No internet transmission is 100% secure, so we can't promise absolute security, but the surface area we expose is intentionally minimal.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes — meaning anything that meaningfully changes what we collect, how we use it, or who we share it with — will be highlighted on the homepage for at least 30 days and explained in plain English at the top of this page.
If you are an active newsletter subscriber, we will also send you an email notification before any material change to how your data is handled takes effect, giving you the opportunity to unsubscribe or request deletion before the change applies.
11. Contact
For any privacy question or to exercise any of the rights above, email hello@nrioutpost.com.
