Privacy and what is collected
- Hosting
- This site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard request
data — IP address, browser user agent, the page requested and the
time — in order to deliver pages and protect against abuse. That
happens for every site on the internet and is not something
The Delta Desk reads or analyses.
- Reader reactions
- The like and share buttons on each short record a single anonymous
count: which short, and that a tap happened. No cookie is set and
nothing that identifies the reader is stored — the numbers exist
so the editor can see what resonates, and so you can too.
- What is planned
- This is a commercial publication and will collect more over time.
Rather than say “we collect nothing” and quietly change it,
here is the full list of what is planned and what it means:
- Audience measurement. Page view counts, referring
site and rough country, to know what is read and to show advertisers.
The intent is a cookieless analytics tool that does not build a profile
of individual readers or follow them to other sites.
- Newsletter. If an email subscription is offered,
your email address is stored for as long as you stay subscribed, used
only to send the brief, and never sold or shared. Unsubscribing removes
it.
- Sponsorship and advertising. This site is intended
to be funded by sponsorship and advertising. Sponsored items will
always be labelled as such and will never appear as editorial shorts.
If any advertising technology is added that sets cookies or tracks
across sites, this page will say exactly what and a consent notice will
appear before it runs.
None of the above is running today. This page is updated before
any of it starts, not after. If you want to know what is collected about
you, or want it deleted, write to
contact@sumitnangia.com.
- Publishers’ material
- This page is about what the site collects from readers. What it does
— and deliberately does not do — with publishers’
material is on its own page: Sources & fair
use.
