Privacy Policy

Short version: we collect your email address so we can send you the newsletter. That’s the only thing we use it for, we never sell it, and you can leave with one click.

Who runs CTOs Club?

  • CTOs Club is run independently by a peer group of CTOs and senior technology leaders. Being independent also means nobody pays to shape what we publish; more on that below.
01

What do you collect?

  • Your email address when you subscribe, plus your first name if you share it. If you email us, we get your message and address too.
  • Like every website, ours runs on a host that logs basic technical details, such as IP address, browser and pages requested, to keep things secure and running. We may also use simple analytics to see which pages get read. No ad cookies, and no tracking you around the web.
02

What do you do with it?

  • Send you the newsletter. That’s the whole list.
  • Messages get a reply, and server logs keep the site up. None of it is used for ads, profiling or anything you didn’t sign up for.
03

Do you sell or share it?

  • No. We don’t sell, rent or swap email lists: not to vendors, not to recruiters, not to anyone.
  • The only outside services that touch your data are the ones that make the site work: the email service that sends the newsletter for us, and our hosting provider. We’d hand over information only if the law required it.
04

How do I unsubscribe or get deleted?

  • Every issue has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works immediately. Want your address erased entirely? Just reply to any issue and we’ll delete it.
05

How long do you keep my email?

  • While you’re subscribed. Unsubscribe and the emails stop; ask for deletion and the address is removed for good.
06

What are my rights?

  • Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights to see, correct, delete or get a copy of your data, and to complain to a regulator. Just ask. For the GDPR-minded: we email you because you consented, and you can withdraw that whenever you like.
07

Is my data secure?

  • We hold as little as possible and keep it with reputable providers. No system is perfect, but there’s very little here to expose.
08

Any sponsors?

  • None. CTOs Club doesn’t accept paid posts or sponsorships. No vendor can buy a post, a mention or a slot in the newsletter.
09

What if this policy changes?

  • We’ll update this page and the date at the top.
10

Who do I contact?

  • Reply to any newsletter. That’s the quickest way to reach us.
