Privacy: Remove newsletter/email subscription from the product

[gfraiteur]

Story

The product no longer offers the ability to subscribe to a newsletter (or course/email updates). Remove this capability from the product experience.

As part of dropping the newsletter feature, the product also stops collecting the user''s email address — email was only ever gathered to offer the newsletter opt-in, so there is no remaining reason to read, pre-fill, store, or transmit it.

Why

We no longer run newsletter/course subscriptions from within the product. Removing the feature also removes the only place where the product collected a personal email address, which is a welcome data-minimization improvement.

What changes for the user

• The setup / consent screen no longer shows a "subscribe to the newsletter" option.
• The product no longer pre-fills or asks for an email address.
• No email address is sent anywhere by the product.

Acceptance criteria

• No newsletter/course subscription option appears anywhere in the product (setup wizard, consent screen, tray/desktop UI).
• The product does not collect, pre-fill, store, or transmit the user''s email address.
• Removing the feature does not affect license registration or any other setup step.
• No leftover references to the newsletter in UI text, links, or help.

Notes

• This is about the newsletter/email-subscription feature only. License subscriptions (paid-plan status, license registration) are unrelated and must stay untouched.
• The privacy policy and any setup-screen wording that mention newsletter/email collection should be updated to match.
