Two Big Milestones
September marks our two year anniversary and reaching 3,000 subscribers
Two years ago, we sent out the very first issue of Secrets of Privacy. You can read it here (it’s a reminder of how far we’ve come).
As the newsletter turns two, we also hit another important milestone: crossing 3,000 subscribers. We now have subscribers in all 50 states and from across the globe. In fact, we’ve already surpassed 3,400 subscribers.
Thank You for Reading
Crossing the 3,000-subscriber mark was a big moment, and it wouldn’t have happened without all of you. 🙏 In fact, because of your support, the newsletter recently reached #34 in Substack’s Technology category.
Every week you choose to open, read, and share these posts. That’s what keeps this publication going. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or joined last week, thank you for being part of this community.
How You Can Support the Next Chapter
If you’d like to help keep Secrets of Privacy growing, here are a few ways to do it:
Share the newsletter. Forward an issue you liked to a friend or colleague. Personal recommendations are still the best way to spread the word.
Upgrade to a paid subscription. Subscriptions help sustain the work. And if you become an annual paid subscriber, you get access to all of our premium, paid guides for free.
One-time tips. Not everyone likes subscriptions. If that’s you, you can make a one-time contribution instead. See here for more information.
Digital guides. In the past few months, we’ve put together guides on hot topics like disposable email, AI scams, and de-Googling your life. To celebrate the two-year milestone, you can take 25% off all guides until the end of the month with code N4C95MB. Access the digital store here.
Looking ahead
The mission hasn’t changed: make it easier for anyone to become a harder target for scammers, hackers, and Big Tech data harvesters. Over the next year, you’ll see more practical guides, real-world case studies, and new tools to help you keep stacking those privacy wins.
Thanks again for reading. Here’s to year three.
