Privacy Policy

Citewick Media (“Citewick,” “we”) collects only what we need to run an editorial site, improve reading experience, and send newsletters you asked for.

What we collect

• Newsletter email when you subscribe, used only to send the weekly note and related operational messages
• First-party analytics (page views, referrers, approximate locale) to understand what readers use—not to sell profiles
• Technical logs (IP, user agent) needed for security, abuse prevention, and reliability
• Search queries you enter on Citewick, to improve archive retrieval

We do not require an account to read the public site.

What we do not do

We do not sell personal data. We do not use the newsletter list for unrelated advertising blasts. We do not run dark-pattern tracking walls.

Cookies and similar tech

Essential cookies keep the site working. Analytics may use first-party measurement. You can control cookies through your browser.

Retention

Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics aggregates are retained in summarized form. Security logs are kept only as long as needed for operations.

Your choices

Unsubscribe links appear in every newsletter. For access or deletion requests related to your email or other personal data we hold, write editors@citewick.com with “Privacy” in the subject.

Third parties

Infrastructure providers (hosting, email delivery) process data on our behalf under contract. Index embeds on other sites load Citewick content; those sites have their own policies.

Updates

We may revise this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective context. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Effective for Citewick’s public site and related services.
