Dispatches from Raimondi (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through this Privacy Policy.

This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit dispatchesfromraimondi.com (the “Website”) and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Most importantly: We don’t make money doing this. We do it for the community. We are fans and writers who volunteer our time.

A. Information You Provide to Us

This information is collected through:

  • Squarespace analytics tools

We use third-party email services (such as [Mailchimp/Substack/Squarespace Email Campaigns – adjust as needed]) to manage subscriptions. We don’t do this—yet—and you’ll know if and when we do :).

5. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The Website may include:

  • Links to external websites

  • Embedded posts from platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky, Instagram, or YouTube

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
