Privacy Policy for Archaic Press Magazine

Last updated: July 16, 2025

At Archaic Press Magazine (“we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy is not just a checkbox—it’s a responsibility we take seriously. As a modern digital magazine exploring the crossroads of culture, creativity, and timeless trends, we believe in being transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal data we collect, how and why we use it, and your rights in the process.

By using archaicpressmagazine.com (the “Site”), you agree to the practices detailed here. If you don’t agree, you may choose not to use the Site.

1. What Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways:

A. Information You Provide

  • Newsletter Sign-Up: When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address and any other optional information you share (like name or preferences). We only send emails if you opt in, and every email contains a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • Comments: If you comment on a post, we collect your name, email (not shown publicly), website (optional), and the comment content. Additionally, your IP address and browser user agent string are collected to help with spam detection.
  • Contact Forms: Any information you submit via a contact form is used strictly to respond to your inquiry.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences (like saving your name for future comments), analyze traffic, and personalize user experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This includes anonymized data like pages visited, time spent, and browser type. No personal identification is attached to this data.
  • Meta Pixel (Facebook): This tool allows us to understand the impact of our Facebook/Instagram marketing and may be used to create relevant advertising campaigns. We do not receive personal information from Meta—only aggregated insights.
  • Server Logs: Our hosting provider automatically logs data like your IP address, browser type, and pages visited to detect malicious activity and ensure website performance.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To send you updates or newsletters (only if you’ve subscribed)
  • To allow you to comment and participate in discussions
  • To improve our content and website functionality
  • To ensure site security and prevent spam
  • To analyze visitor behavior for editorial insights
  • To manage any marketing and outreach activities via Facebook and Instagram

We do not sell or rent your information to third parties.

3. Use of External Links

Our website may contain external links to other websites, including:

  • Sources referenced in articles (e.g., Wikipedia, news outlets)
  • Embedded content like YouTube videos or Pinterest pins
  • Social media profiles (e.g., Instagram, Facebook)

These websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Once you leave our site via an external link, we have no control over how your data is collected or used on that third-party platform. We recommend you review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Embedded content (like YouTube videos or Instagram posts) behaves as if you visited the other site directly. Those platforms may collect data about you, use cookies, and track interactions. We do not access or control that data.

4. Who We Share Information With

We may share data with trusted third parties, but only when necessary:

  • Email marketing tools (for sending newsletters)
  • Analytics platforms (like Google Analytics)
  • Security and spam prevention tools (like Akismet)
  • Advertising tools (like Meta Pixel)

All partners are required to keep your information secure and confidential. We never share your information for third-party marketing.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request corrections or deletions
  • Withdraw consent for newsletter or cookie usage
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@archaicpressmagazine.com.

6. Data Retention

  • Comments: Stored indefinitely to preserve discussion history
  • Newsletter Emails: Retained until you unsubscribe
  • Analytics Data: Retained for a limited period (e.g., 14 months)
  • Backups: Securely stored and periodically overwritten

7. Children’s Privacy

Our content is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we’ve unintentionally collected such data, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security Measures

We use:

  • HTTPS encryption
  • Firewall protection
  • Limited admin access
  • Secure third-party services

While we strive to protect your data, no website is 100% secure. You use our Site at your own risk.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. We’ll post changes here with an updated “last revised” date. Significant changes may also be announced via a banner or newsletter.
