Privacy Policy

Last updated: Nov 9, 2026

Seemly is a newsletter service for authors. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have, whether you are an author who uses Seemly or a reader who subscribed to an author's newsletter.

Seemly is operated by Seemly.com LLC, South Jersey Tech Center, 123 Bridgeton Pike, Unit 1181, Mullica Hill, NJ 08062. Questions about privacy go to [email protected].

Two kinds of people

• Authors are our customers. They create a Seemly workspace to collect subscribers and send email.
• Readers are people who subscribe to an author's newsletter.

For a reader's information, the author decides why and how it is used, and Seemly handles it on the author's behalf. If you are a reader, the author who emailed you is your first point of contact. You can also contact us and we will act on your request or pass it to the author.

What we collect

From authors: name and email address; sign-in details (handled by our sign-in provider, WorkOS, and we do not store passwords); workspace and billing details (payment card details are held by Stripe, not by us); a postal address if you choose to provide one; sending domain settings; the content you write and upload; and usage and security logs.

From readers: email address and any tags or fields the author adds. When you sign up we record a consent entry: the time, the page you used, your IP address, your browser's user agent and the version of the notice you saw. We also record your confirmation, your unsubscribe, and opens and clicks on links in the emails you receive.

How we use it

• Deliver the emails readers asked for and the downloads they requested.
• Keep a record of consent, and honor unsubscribes.
• Suppress addresses that bounce or complain so they are not emailed again.
• Protect the service from abuse and keep sending reputation healthy.
• Bill authors, provide support, and improve and secure Seemly.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use readers' information for advertising, and we do not build profiles of readers for other authors.

Email practices

• Seemly sends only to people who asked to hear from an author. Signups use double opt-in: a reader confirms by email before receiving anything.
• Imported lists require the author's written confirmation that every person gave permission. We do not allow purchased, rented or scraped lists.
• Every message includes a one-click unsubscribe link and the headers mailbox providers use for unsubscribe buttons. Unsubscribing takes effect immediately and is remembered for that author.
• We process bounce and complaint notifications from our email delivery provider and automatically stop sending to addresses that bounce or complain. Authors whose lists produce high bounce or complaint rates are paused while we look into it.
• Abuse reports go to [email protected].

Who we share it with

We use service providers who process information on our behalf. They may process information in the United States and other countries, and they may use it only to provide their service to us.

We also share information when the law requires it, or to protect people from abuse and fraud.

Cookies

We use cookies that are needed to keep authors signed in and to keep the service secure. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party trackers on this website.

How long we keep it

Reader information stays while the author keeps the subscriber and the workspace is open. When a reader unsubscribes, we keep a minimal suppression record (the address, tied to that author) so we do not email them again, along with the consent history needed to show we complied. When a workspace is closed we delete its data after a limited period, except records we must keep for legal, billing or abuse-prevention reasons. Backups expire on a schedule.

Your choices and rights

Readers can unsubscribe at any time with the link in any email. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to ask to access, correct, export or delete your information, to object to how it is used, or to withdraw consent. Authors can export their list and close their workspace. To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to confirm who you are first. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact your state attorney general or your local data protection authority.

Security

Each author's data is separated from every other author's at the database level, access is limited to people who need it, connections are encrypted, and secrets are kept out of source code. No system is perfectly secure. Where the law requires, we will tell affected people and authorities about a breach.

Children

Seemly is for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has subscribed, contact us and we will remove the information.

Changes to this policy

We will post updates on this page and tell authors about material changes by email.
