Privacy
We publish everything about the law, and nothing about you.
This site exists to make psilocybin law open: every status verified, every claim sourced, every change logged in public. We believe legal information should be free to read for anyone, anywhere.
We also know what it means to read it. The people who use this site include patients, veterans, clinicians, researchers, journalists, and ordinary curious people, many of them in places where possession is still a crime. Looking up the law is not a confession, and we treat it that way. Openness is for information. It was never meant for your identity.
So here is the deal, in plain terms:
- What we collect.
- If you sign up to track changes, we store your email address and any places you choose to track. That is the list, and that is all it is.
- What we will never do.
- We will never sell, rent, share, or trade your email address. Not to advertisers, not to “partners,” not in an acquisition data room. There is no price for the list.
- Unsubscribing means deleted.
- Every email we send has a working one-click unsubscribe. When you leave, your address is deleted from the list and from the provider that sends for us. There is no shadow list, no suppression segment we could sell or re-mail, and no way back onto it except you asking. The one thing that outlives the address is the record that you consented and then withdrew, which Canadian anti-spam law requires us to be able to show, and which is kept for that and nothing else.
- Where the list lives.
- The list is stored and sent by an email delivery provider acting on our instructions, and it is used for that and nothing else. The provider does not get to use your address for its own purposes, and no other service receives it.
- No tricks.
- No engagement bait, no fake urgency, no re-permission campaigns. We email you when something real changes, plus a periodic roundup, and that is it.
- Analytics.
- We measure readership in two layers, and they are not the same thing. The first is a page counter run by our host, Vercel. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and keeps no personal record; it is there to count how many people read a page. The second is Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, and it does use cookies. In Europe it runs only if you allow it. In the United Kingdom and the rest of the world it runs unless you opt out. Advertising features are off, we do not track you across other sites, we do not build individual profiles, and analytics is never connected to your email address. IP addresses are used to derive approximate location and are not stored by Google Analytics. All of it drives decisions about the site, not about you.
- Your choice.
- In Europe, a card asks about analytics before any of it runs, and nothing loads until you answer. In the United Kingdom and the rest of the world it is on when you arrive. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends it, the analytics that uses cookies stays off unless you turn it on yourself. The control is the same everywhere and it is always there: Privacy choices, in the footer of every page. It turns analytics off, and back on, and a change takes effect immediately. Your answer is stored in your browser and nowhere else. The page counter described above keeps running either way, and it is the layer that keeps no personal record. What both layers collect, and what you can ask us to do about it, is set out again in the consumer health data policy.
- Who we are.
- Psilocybin Media Group operates this site and is the controller of the information described here. Every email we send identifies us and includes a working way to reach us and to unsubscribe, as Canadian anti-spam law (CASL) requires. We hold ourselves to that law because we would hold it against anyone else.
The law should be public. The people reading it should not have to be.
