Who we are
PerkScout Weekly is a small, independent newsletter and website created by Kerry Kay.
Our website address is: https://perkscoutweekly.com
We keep things simple and private.
We only collect the information you intentionally share with us.
What Personal Data We Collect
Contact Form Messages
If you reach out using the contact form, we receive:
- your name
- your email
- your message
This information is used only to reply to you.
We do not sell, share, or store this data anywhere outside our email inbox.
Email Subscriptions (Substack)
If you subscribe through Substack, your email address is handled by Substack, not by this website.
You can view Substack’s privacy policy here:

Cookies
Our site uses basic cookies that help WordPress function properly.
These include things like:
- temporary login cookies (for admins only)
- theme and display preference cookies
Visitors who are not logged in to the admin panel generally do not receive cookies beyond what is required to load the site correctly.
We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages may include embedded content (like Substack posts).
Embedded content behaves as if you visited that website directly.
Those external sites may collect data according to their own policies.
Comments & Accounts
PerkScout Weekly does not currently allow:
- user comments
- user accounts
- file uploads
So none of that data is collected.
Who We Share Data With
We do not share your data with any third parties.
The only exception is:
Substack (if you subscribe through them)
automated spam filtering on the contact form
How Long We Keep Data
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to reply.
Email subscriptions are managed entirely through Substack.
We do not retain any personal data on this site unless required for security or administrative purposes.
Your Rights
If you’ve contacted us and want your message or data removed, you can request deletion anytime.
