Privacy notice
Last updated: November 2026
Main Street Brief runs this website (mainstreetbrief.com), a YouTube channel and an email newsletter. This notice explains what we collect and why.
What we collect
- When you sign up: your email address, the date, and which of our videos sent you (if any).
- When you open our emails: whether you opened them and which links you clicked. Kit, our email service, measures this for us.
- When you use one of our links (like mainstreetbrief.com/checklist): which link, which video it came from, the date and your country. We work out the country from your connection and don't store your IP address, so this doesn't identify you.
- To block spam bots, the sign-up form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks your browser, usually without asking you to solve a puzzle.
We don't use tracking cookies, ads or tracking pixels on this site.
Why we collect it
- To send you the checklist and our weekly email, which you asked for.
- To learn which videos and links are useful, so we can make better ones.
Who handles it
- Kit (kit.com) stores our email list and sends our emails.
- Cloudflare (cloudflare.com) hosts this site and runs the bot check.
Both may process data in the United States. We never sell your data.
How long we keep it
- Your email address: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
- Link statistics: they don't identify anyone, so we keep them to compare videos over time.
Your choices
- Every email has an unsubscribe link.
- To see, correct or delete your data, write to hello@mainstreetbrief.com.
- If you're in the UK, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

If this notice changes, we'll update the date at the top.
