Living before

What we keep

If you subscribe, we keep your email address, the date you signed up and which page you signed up on. There is no account, no name field and no comment box.

The address is used for one thing: the weekly email. We don’t sell it, share it or add it to any other list.

Who holds it

The list is held by Kit (kit.com), the email service that sends the newsletter for us.

This site

The site sets no cookies. Its fonts and images come from livingbefore.com. The site is served by Cloudflare, whose Web Analytics counts visits without cookies and without fingerprinting anyone. The links to museum records and sources take you to those sites, under their own rules.

Leaving the list

Every email ends with an unsubscribe link. One click takes you off the list.

To see what we hold about you, or to have it deleted, write to [email protected].

Who we are

Living Before is published by Alex Vita, in Romania. Under the EU’s data protection rules you can ask to see, correct or delete what we hold, and you can complain to your country’s data protection authority.
