Delete your data
You can remove yourself from The Acadiana Brief at any time. Here is exactly how.
Stop all emails instantly (self-serve)
Click Unsubscribe in the footer of any edition — it takes effect immediately — or visit /settings and choose Unsubscribe. This stops all sending and marks your record as unsubscribed.
Request full deletion of your data
To erase your record entirely — email address, name, parish, interests, preferences, referral data, and engagement history — email privacy@acadianabrief.com with the subject “Data deletion request” from the email address you subscribed with (so we can verify it's you).
What happens next
- We confirm receipt of your request by reply email.
- Within 30 days we permanently delete your subscriber record, preferences, referral associations, and email engagement events from our database, and remove you from our email provider.
- Business accounts: directory listings you claimed are either unclaimed (returned to public, unowned status) or deleted — tell us which you prefer. Business leads tied to your email are deleted on request.
- We send a final confirmation when the deletion is complete.
What we may retain
The minimum needed for legal compliance or abuse prevention — for example, a record that an email address opted out, so we never email it again. Aggregated statistics that no longer identify you (e.g., “X% of readers opened Tuesday's edition”) are retained.
Data from connected platforms
If you interacted with The Acadiana Brief through a third-party platform (such as a Facebook integration), the same process applies: email privacy@acadianabrief.com and we will delete any data we hold that originated from that platform within 30 days. We do not store platform passwords or private profile data.
