GI Signals collects the email address you provide when you subscribe, solely to send you the weekly issue. We use a double opt-in: you confirm via a link before any newsletter is sent. We never sell or share your address. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
We count how many times each page is viewed and how often the share, cite and source links are used. That is a per-day tally per page or button and nothing else: no cookies, no advertising or third-party trackers, no cross-site profile, and no IP address or device identifier is stored. The counter runs as a plain image request, so it works whether or not you allow JavaScript, and it cannot follow you anywhere else.
For the weekly email we use our sending provider's link tracking to count clicks on the links in an issue, so we can tell which papers were useful. We do not use the open-tracking pixel as an engagement metric; where open data exists at the provider we use it only to stop mailing addresses that have gone inactive. We do not sell, share, or profile any of it, and none of it is tied to your clinical activity.
