Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
The Daily Dissect is a news commentary site. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. The short version: we collect very little, we don't sell anything, and we're not particularly interested in you as a data point.
What we collect
When you visit this site, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information — your IP address, browser type, the page you requested, and the time of the request. This is standard server log data. We do not use cookies for tracking, we do not run advertising networks, and we do not use third-party analytics that profile individual visitors.
Contact forms
If you use a contact form on this site, we collect the information you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, and message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not add you to mailing lists without your explicit consent.
Third-party services
This site may embed content or link to third-party platforms. Those platforms have their own privacy policies, which we have no control over. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.
Data retention
Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the contact page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
