The short version

Privacy

Release Type does not run accounts. The catalogue itself is public. Two things can involve you personally.

Newsletter

If you join, Resend stores your email and sends the Release Type newsletter, weekly on Thursdays, and nothing else. It is not sold. Signup from this site sets the contact property source to releasetype. Every letter includes an unsubscribe link. Until the list is connected, the form shows Opening soon, and no email is stored.

When a confirmed sender is configured, joining asks you to confirm by email before you are added. That confirmation is a second message, not the newsletter.

Measuring visits

The site uses Vercel Web Analytics. It counts pages without cookies and without a profile that follows you across other sites. There is no advertising tracker.

The crawler

The crawler visits foundry websites that already publish their news. It collects typeface names, dates, and similar facts, and it may keep a copy of a specimen image the foundry published on that page. It does not collect personal data from those sites, and it does not download font files.
