SCOTUS Alerts is a one-person side project. We collect the minimum we need to deliver alerts and to credibly describe our audience to potential sponsors.

What we collect

At signup (when you submit your email):

• Your email address.
• Approximate geolocation derived from your IP at signup time: country, region (state), city. We do not store your IP address itself. Vercel provides this via request headers; we capture it once and never re-resolve it.
• A label inferred from your email's domain (e.g., “biglaw,” “academia,” “personal mail”). This is a hand-curated lookup — no third-party enrichment service, no profile-data vendors.

Optional, if you fill in your profile (offered after you confirm your email): profession, practice area, firm size, and state. All fields are optional and editable.

How we use it

• To send you alert emails when SCOTUS publishes new opinions (and only that).
• In aggregate, to describe our audience to potential sponsors (e.g., “X% lawyers, Y% in California”). Aggregate counts only — no individual-subscriber data is ever shared.

What we do NOT do

• We do not sell, rent, or share your email or profile data with anyone.
• We do not use third-party trackers, identifying analytics, or ad networks.
• We do not enrich your data via Clearbit, ZoomInfo, or similar services.

Your controls

• Unsubscribe: every alert email has a one-click link. Unsubscribing stops all email immediately.
• Delete profile data: the “Delete my profile data” button on your profile page clears your self-reported profession, practice area, firm size, and state, while keeping your subscription active.
• Full deletion: use the contact form and we'll delete your row entirely within 7 days.

Data location

Subscriber data lives in a Supabase Postgres database. Email delivery is via Resend.

Changes

If we change what we capture, we'll update this page and (if material) email confirmed subscribers before the change takes effect.
