* Note: This document outlines our default practices for the initial Phase 1 launch. It should be reviewed by legal counsel before changing tracking behaviors.
1. Analytical Telemetry
We prioritize privacy and speed. We use Vercel Web Analytics to compile anonymous traffic analytics. This telemetry is completely cookieless, does not trace your cursor, and does not store personally identifiable data. No cookie banners are required to read our platform.
2. Newsletter Signups
Newsletter functionality is not active in the initial OTD launch. If we introduce email updates later, this policy will be updated before any address is collected.
3. Contact Submissions
Submissions through our contact form are sent to our editorial desk and are used strictly to respond to your specific inquiry. We do not store submissions in our Sanity CMS database.
4. Reader Accounts and Bookmarks
Reader accounts, bookmarks, profiles, and community participation are not active in the initial OTD launch. The publication can be read without signing in.
5. Avatars and Profile Storage
Profile avatar uploads are not active in the initial OTD launch.
6. Deletion and Purges
Because reader accounts are not active, there is currently no reader account data to delete. Contact the editorial desk for any privacy request related to correspondence.
