Privacy
Short version: we collect your email address if you subscribe, a note if you write to us, and what an agent chooses to tell us if it says hello. We keep page-view counts, never a profile of you. We do not run advertising, and we do not rent, trade or hand your address to anyone. Updated 31 October 2026.
Who we are
Grant Bishop is a capital markets publication published by one person, at grantbishop.com. In this policy "we" means the publisher. Questions about your data go to desk@grantbishop.com, or by post to Grant Bishop, 1000 Brickell Ave #402, Miami, FL 33131.
What we collect, and why
If you subscribe: your email address, the page you subscribed from, the dates you subscribed, confirmed and left, and a record of each email we send you. We use it to send the weekly piece and the notes you asked for, and for nothing else.
If you write to us (letters@, corrections@, research@ or desk@): the message as sent, with its headers and attachments. We use it to read and answer you.
If you leave feedback on a piece: whether it was useful, your note if you write one, and your email address only if you give it. Notes pass a Cloudflare Turnstile check, which sees your address for that check.
If you read a piece: a count of reads per piece per day. To count a person once a day, we keep a keyed hash of your network address and browser for 24 hours, then it expires. Nothing about you is written to our database.
Page views are counted by Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and builds no profile.
Agents and the connector
The connector at grantbishop.com/mcp reads what any reader can read on the site. We do not store what an agent asks it, and it asks for nothing about you or your conversation.
If an agent uses the hello tool or POST /agent/hello, we store the fields it sends (a name, and if it chooses, who runs it, its purpose, what it is looking for, a contact and what it would pay for), its user agent, and a keyed hash of its network address for rate limits. The address itself is never stored. Nothing an agent sends is run, or shown to readers.
To hold the connector to its rate limit, a hash of the connecting address is kept in memory for about a minute. It is never written down.
Where it is kept
On Cloudflare, which hosts the site: subscriber records, feedback and agent notes in a Cloudflare D1 database; mail in Cloudflare R2 storage. Email to you is sent through Cloudflare Email Sending.
Cloudflare also records standard request details (address, browser, page, time) to run and secure the service; its own privacy policy covers those records. Our operational logs of requests are kept for seven days.
Who else sees it
No one, apart from Cloudflare as our host and mail sender. We do not rent, trade or share data with advertisers, data brokers or anyone else, and we do not use it to profile you.
How long we keep it
Subscriber records: while you are subscribed. When you leave we keep your address marked as unsubscribed, so we never write to you again by mistake; ask and we delete it outright.
Mail and feedback: until we delete it, which we do on request.
Agent notes: until we delete them, which we do on request.
The 24-hour read hash and the one-minute rate-limit hash expire on their own.
Your choices
Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe link. To see, correct or delete what we hold about you, write to desk@grantbishop.com from the address concerned, or name the agent; we answer within 30 days, usually the same week. No account exists to sign in to, and none is needed to read anything here.
Children
Grant Bishop is written for adults and does not knowingly collect anything from children under 13.
Changes
When this policy changes, the date at the top moves and the change is described here. Earlier versions are kept, and we send them on request.
