The short version: we collect as little as possible, we never sell your personal data, and ads on this site are served by third parties under their own policies.
This policy explains what information The Gist Post ("we", "us") collects when you visit thegistpost.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy. We may update it from time to time; changes will be posted on this page.
We do not require accounts to read the site and do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to understand traffic patterns and to support the advertising that keeps this site free. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some features may be limited.
We display advertising to support the site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control the cookies they place.
Some articles contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the merchant may share limited data with us or our partners (such as the fact that a purchase occurred). This never includes more personal data than the program requires. See our affiliate disclosure for details.
We never sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone except the service providers described above.
Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise them, email privacy@thegistpost.com.
