By using this site you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Information we collect<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Information you give us.<\/strong> If you contact us by email (anorie@arcmike.com) or submit material through our submission intake, we receive whatever you choose to send: your name, email address, message, and any files or links you include.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information collected automatically.<\/strong> Like most websites, our server records technical details of each request, including your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and the pages you view. We use this data to operate the site, diagnose problems and understand what our audience reads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments and accounts.<\/strong> Where commenting or accounts are enabled, we store the information you provide with your account, plus the comment content itself.<\/p>\n<h2>2. How we use information<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>To publish and improve our journalism, audio stream and podcast.<\/li>\n<li>To respond to your enquiries and submissions.<\/li>\n<li>To monitor site performance, prevent abuse and keep the site secure.<\/li>\n<li>To measure audience reach, including through advertising partners (see Section 4).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We do not sell your personal information.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Legal bases and retention<\/h2>\n<p>Where applicable law (such as the GDPR or CCPA) requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent (for example, when you submit information), our legitimate interest in running and securing a public-interest news service, or performance of a contract you request. We keep personal data only as long as necessary for these purposes, then delete or anonymise it.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Cookies and advertising<\/h2>\n<p>ANORIE uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic and \u2014 when advertising is enabled \u2014 to deliver and measure ads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google AdSense.<\/strong> We may display advertisements served by Google and other third-party vendors. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google&#8217;s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and\/or other sites on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/adssettings.google.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google Ads Settings<\/a>. You may opt out of third-party vendor cookies more broadly at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutads.info\/choices\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.aboutads.info\/choices<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/optout.networkadvertising.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">optout.networkadvertising.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our own analytics.<\/strong> ANORIE measures readership with a first-party, server-side analytics system that sets no cookies and stores no raw IP addresses. Visits are reduced to a rotating, salted one-way identifier used only to count unique visitors, sessions, top countries and traffic channels in aggregate; visit data never leaves our servers, and Do Not Track \/ Global Privacy Control signals are respected. Country detection uses open-source geolocation databases: this product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxmind.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">maxmind.com<\/a>, and IP geolocation by DB-IP (<a href=\"https:\/\/db-ip.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">db-ip.com<\/a>). You can still control cookies through your browser settings; blocking cookies does not affect this measurement or site functionality.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Third-party services and links<\/h2>\n<p>Our pages may embed or link to third-party services \u2014 for example YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audiomack, social networks, maps, or news sources. Those parties process data under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review them.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Data sharing and transfers<\/h2>\n<p>We share data only with service providers who help us run the site (hosting, email, analytics, advertising), and when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of ANORIE, our users or the public. Where data crosses borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised by applicable law.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Your rights<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict our use of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any right, email <a href=\"mailto:anorie@arcmike.com\">anorie@arcmike.com<\/a>. We will respond within the period required by law.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Children&#8217;s privacy<\/h2>\n<p>ANORIE is a general-audience publication and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.<\/p>\n<h2>9.
