This Privacy Policy explains what information INQ News (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you visit inq.news, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible and to be straightforward about what happens to it.
Information we collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
- Contact-form and email submissions. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send — typically your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
- Standard server logs. Like most websites, our systems automatically record basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the date and time of your request. This helps us keep the site running and secure.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We may use a small number of cookies to help the site function and to understand general usage patterns.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to respond to your messages, operate and maintain the website, protect against abuse and security threats, understand which content is useful, and improve our explainers over time. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We use them to support core site functionality and to gather aggregate, non-identifying insight into how the site is used. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how some parts of the site behave.
Third-party services
We rely on a few reputable third-party providers to deliver the site:
- Cloudflare — provides security, content delivery, and protection against malicious traffic. As part of this, Cloudflare may process technical request data such as your IP address.
- Google Fonts — used to display typefaces consistently across devices. Loading these fonts may involve a request to Google’s servers.
These providers process data under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected. Email and contact-form messages are retained for as long as useful to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, and server logs are kept for a limited period for security and operational reasons before being deleted or anonymized.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond in line with applicable law.
