Bundle requests

We store the Bundle idea and optional context you submit so the editorial team can assess gaps in Bundlified’s research. This text is private research input and is never published automatically.

An email address is optional. We store one only when you explicitly request a one-time publication notification, and the notification is inactive until you confirm the address. This permission is separate from the newsletter.

The Quiet List newsletter

The newsletter stores the email address, the consent wording version, source, and confirmation timestamps. You choose your topics and confirm before subscribing. We use the address only for Bundlified editorial, new Bundles, and relevant Decision or Ownership Guides according to those preferences. Newsletter updates include an unsubscribe link.

At confirmation, you choose all Bundlified updates or selected topics. We store that choice, its wording version, and when it was updated. Topics include their subcategories. Choosing only topics excludes general editorial emails; an unavailable or removed topic never changes your preference to all updates. The manage-preferences link lets you change your choices.

Security and abuse prevention

Email addresses are encrypted in the application database. Rate limits, time checks, one-time form tokens, duplicate suppression, and privacy-preserving keyed hashes help stop automated abuse. The submission database does not store a raw IP address; hosting access and security logs may process one for a limited operational period.

Retention

Unconfirmed newsletter records are deleted after 14 days. Unconfirmed request-notification addresses are removed after 14 days while the research text may remain. Removing an email address does not remove personal details someone included in that text; please leave out sensitive information. Addresses connected to closed requests or completed publication notifications are removed after 30 days.

When a newsletter subscriber unsubscribes, the readable email address and topic preferences are removed immediately. A non-reversible suppression hash remains so the address is not accidentally re-enrolled without fresh consent.

Service providers

Bundlified’s hosting, database, and configured email-delivery provider process the limited data needed to operate these features. We do not sell submitted addresses or use a request-notification address for unrelated marketing.

YouTube reviews and comparisons

Some product cards can show a third-party YouTube review or comparison. The preview image is loaded lazily from YouTube when it approaches your screen, which may share your IP address and limited request information with Google. The YouTube player itself is not loaded until you choose Play review or Play comparison; it then uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com player.

Bundlified does not use the YouTube API to identify visitors or store their viewing activity. Playback is governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. The video and its opinions belong to its publisher, not Bundlified.

Your choices

After you confirm your Quiet List subscription, we send a welcome email with links to manage your preferences and unsubscribe. Newsletter updates also include an unsubscribe link. A one-time Bundle request notification has a separate cancellation link in its confirmation email and ends after its publication update is sent.
