This policy should explain in clear language what personal data is collected, why it is processed, which legal basis is used and how readers can exercise their rights under the GDPR.

  • Data categories: contact information, newsletter sign-up data, voluntary tip submissions, analytics identifiers and device/browser diagnostics.
  • Purposes: site security, service delivery, newsletter operations, audience measurement and, only with consent where required, marketing or third-party tracking.
  • Reader rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability and withdrawal of consent.

Where optional analytics, advertising pixels or third-party embeds are active, they should remain disabled until the reader gives a valid consent choice.
