Privacy policy

Version 1 · 15 October 2026. We review this policy regularly and will post any changes here.

1. Who we are

How Far is responsible for your information. Contact us through our contact form.

2. What we collect

If you sign up for the newsletter: your email address, an optional first name, the sign-up date and a record of your consent. We plan to use cookie-free, privacy-friendly analytics that only produce totals. We never ask for health information. Please don't send us details about your health.

3. Why we use it

To send you the newsletter you asked for, based on your consent, and to understand in aggregate how the site is used. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.

4. Where it's stored

With our website host and email provider, which may store data in countries other than yours (for example the United States). We'll name our providers here once they're confirmed, along with how transfers are protected where the law requires it.

5. Who we share it with

Only the service providers who help us run the site and newsletter. We never sell, rent or give subscriber data to sponsors or anyone else.

6. Emails

We only email people who sign up themselves and confirm by email (double opt-in). Every email says who it's from, includes our contact details and a postal address, and has a one-click unsubscribe that we act on promptly. We never buy, rent or import lists. We aim to meet the rules that apply to commercial email in the places our readers live, including the US CAN-SPAM Act, Australia's Spam Act 2003, and UK and EU rules on electronic marketing.

7. How long we keep it

Until you unsubscribe, plus any period the law requires.

8. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct or delete your information, or to stop using it, by emailing us. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, for example under the EU GDPR or UK GDPR (such as data portability, or objecting to processing) or Australia's Privacy Act 1988.

9. Complaints

Please contact us first. You can also complain to the data protection or privacy regulator where you live, for example the Information Commissioner's Office (UK), your national data protection authority (EU), or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

10. Changes

We date every version, and the current one is always here.
