A simple account. Clear boundaries.

PayPal handles login and payment. We store your PayPal account identifier, confirmed email, chosen public name, briefing focus, email preference and subscription identifier. We do not ask for a postal address or store payment-card details.

A secure session cookie keeps you logged in. Short-lived cookies protect PayPal login and one-time donation confirmation. Board posts and replies are visible to active $5 members. Your email is not exposed on the board.

If you opt in, your confirmed PayPal email is sent through Cloudflare Email Service to deliver the briefing included with your membership. Every briefing includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from email does not cancel your paid subscription. Public pages do not include advertising or analytics trackers.

Cloudflare processes requests, stores application records and may retain operational logs. We retain account and payment references as needed to operate memberships and handle disputes. Contact hello@northdakotaeducation.com to request deletion or a copy of your information; payment record retention may still be required.
