Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026. Otterarcticlantern operates with a privacy-by-design architecture. We collect minimal telemetry and reject third-party behavioral profiling.
1. Data Minimization Framework
When you navigate otterarcticlantern.site, our static servers process standard HTTP request logs (IP address, browser user-agent string, page request timestamps) strictly for diagnosing system faults and preventing denial-of-service incursions. These transient web server logs are automatically purged on a rolling 14-day schedule.
2. No Sale of User Data
Otterarcticlantern has never sold, leased, or brokered personal data to advertising consortiums, data brokers, or marketing aggregates. We do not integrate commercial analytics trackers or behavioral advertising pixels.
3. Client-Side Field Tools
Interactive utilities provided on our website—such as the Field Dispatch Builder on contact.html—execute entirely within your local browser JavaScript engine. Text fields, categories, and generated outputs are never transmitted to our remote servers unless you deliberately choose to send an email inquiry.
4. Reader Communications
If you transmit an email to [email protected], your sender address and correspondence are retained only for the duration required to evaluate your inquiry or story lead. You retain the right under GDPR and UK DPA 2018 to request deletion of your correspondence at any point.
5. Supervisory Authority Contacts
For questions regarding our privacy commitments or to exercise your statutory rights to access, rectification, or erasure, please email [email protected] or send postal correspondence to: Otterarcticlantern Publishing Ltd., 42 Aurora Beacon Way, Edinburgh EH1 2PB, UK.
