Privacy policy
Who we are
Tie to the Mast and TSP Timing Check are independent projects run by a small team in the Jacksonville, Florida area. Signproof (getsignproof.com) is run by the same team, and its email list is stored with ours. Questions or requests: hello@tietothemast.com.
What we collect, and why
| If you… | We store | Used only to |
|---|---|---|
| Write a Tie to the Mast letter | Your email, your letter, your chosen index and levels, an optional partner's email, and dates | Deliver your letter (and Crash Companion emails, if chosen) when the market crosses your levels |
| Add an accountability partner | Their email and whether they accepted | Ask them once, then send them your letter only if they said yes |
| Sign up for TSP or gold-pitch updates | Your email, which list, the page you signed up on, and dates | Send that list's occasional updates |
The calculators run in your browser. The numbers you type into the TSP Timing Check calculator are not sent to us or stored anywhere.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent or trade your information, and we don't share it with advertisers, fund companies, dealers or advisors.
- We don't use advertising cookies or third-party ad trackers.
- We don't read your letter except as needed to deliver it or fix a technical problem you report to us.
Services that help us run the site
- Cloudflare hosts the site and the database. Like any web host, it processes your IP address and basic request details to deliver pages and block attacks. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without tracking you across sites.
- Resend sends our emails. It receives your email address and the message we send you.
- Both handle information on our behalf under their own published privacy and security terms.
How long we keep it
Until you delete it. Every email we send has a one-click link that deletes your record. Unconfirmed sign-ups are never emailed again, and we may delete them at any time. If you email us asking to see or delete what we hold about you, we'll do it within 30 days.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored in Cloudflare's database. Confirmation and delete links use long random codes. No system is perfectly secure, so please don't put account numbers, passwords or Social Security numbers in a letter.
Children
Our sites are for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll update the date at the top, and we'll email active users before using existing information in any new way.
