Privacy policy

At Poinchiaz, we take privacy seriously — not just as a legal formality, but as a responsibility to our readers, contributors, and partners. This page outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and what principles guide our decisions.

1. What We Collect

We collect a minimal set of data to help us improve our content, services, and user experience:

  • Email address (only if you subscribe to updates)
  • Your selected **content preferences** (e.g., topic tags, article types)
  • **Browse behavior** within our site: what you read, where you drop off
  • **Technical errors** or performance issues (to help us fix bugs)
  • **Direct feedback** submitted via forms or email

We do not collect sensitive personal information, nor do we require registration to browse the site.

2. Why We Collect It

We use this data to:

  • Send targeted and relevant content
  • Improve article quality and topic focus
  • Diagnose and fix usability or performance issues
  • Respond to your feedback when submitted directly

3. What We Don’t Do

We do not:

  • Sell or rent your personal data
  • Track you across other websites
  • Use invasive third-party cookies
  • Share your data with advertisers or data brokers
  • Collect financial or biometric data

We do not run behavioral ads or retargeting.

4. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored securely in GDPR-compliant environments, hosted within the EU.
Access to your data is limited to core team members involved in site development, analytics, and editorial.
We use privacy-first analytics tools with anonymized tracking where possible.

5. Your Rights

As a user, you have the right to:

  • Access any personal data we may hold about you
  • Request corrections or updates
  • Ask for your data to be deleted
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, simply email us — no forms, no bureaucracy.

6. Email Communication

If you subscribe, you will receive only **editorial content** — no sponsored mailings or partner ads.
Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe option. We do not hide it.
