Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 15, 2025 | Last Updated: April 15, 2025
1. Who We Are & Data Controller
This Privacy Policy explains how 111111 ("we", "our", or "the Journal"), operating the domain wieladd.space in the United States, collects, utilizes, and safeguards your personal data when you explore our publications, sign up for field notes, or initiate communication with our team.
For inquiries regarding personal information practices, please contact our designated privacy contact at [email protected].
2. Scope of this Policy
This policy governs all digital interactions on wieladd.space, including our editorial pages, newsletter subscriptions, inquiry submission interfaces, and analytics integrations. It clarifies your rights under applicable US federal and state data privacy regulations (including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, CCPA/CPRA, and related state privacy statutes).
3. Categories of Information Collected
We collect personal information through three transparent pathways:
- Directly Submitted Information: Your name, email address, optional contact telephone number, interest topics, and message content submitted voluntarily via our inquiry and newsletter forms.
- Automatically Generated Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type and version, device hardware profile, operating system, time zone, referrer URL, and interaction logs.
- Cookies and Local Storage Identifiers: Small files stored on your browser to recall consent state and measure site reliability.
4. Purposes of Processing & Legal Grounds
| Processing Purpose | Data Categories | Legal Grounds |
|---|---|---|
| Responding to travel inquiries & editorial correspondence | Name, email, phone, message text | Performance of requested service / Legitimate interests |
| Delivering monthly Field Notes digital dispatches | Email address | Affirmative user consent (opt-in) |
| Site stability, security, and spam prevention | IP address, browser headers, log stamps | Legitimate interest in security defense |
| Aggregated readership metrics & page performance | De-identified telemetry, consent status | Opt-in consent via Consent Mode v2 |
5. Cookie Policy, Analytics & Google Consent Mode v2
We deploy Google Consent Mode v2 in an advanced implementation. Prior to your explicit interaction with our cookie banner, non-essential storage signals (such as analytics_storage, ad_storage, and personalization_storage) remain set to denied. Strictly necessary cookies essential for website security (security_storage) remain active. You can amend your consent preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" button present in our global footer.
6. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We disclose personal data solely to trusted cloud infrastructure providers (such as hosting platforms and encrypted transactional mail providers) bound by stringent confidentiality terms, or when required by enforceable judicial order.
7. Cross-Border Data Transfers
Because our servers and operations reside within the United States, international visitors accessing the site consent to the processing of their telemetry within US jurisdiction under reasonable technical and contractual safeguards.
8. Retention Schedules
Correspondence data is archived for up to 24 months to satisfy potential customer follow-up or statutory obligations, after which it is securely expunged. Newsletter addresses are maintained until the subscriber exercises an unsubscribe request.
9. Your Statutory Rights
Under US state frameworks (including CCPA/CPRA, CPA, VCDPA), residents hold the right to:
- Know what personal information has been collected and request disclosure thereof.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of personal information, subject to statutory exemptions.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (which 111111 does not engage in).
- Be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise any statutory right, lodge your request with [email protected]. Supervised state agencies (such as the California Privacy Protection Agency, CPPA, or your State Attorney General) oversee compliance.
10. Children's Privacy
111111 is directed at adult travelers and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 16 years of age in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child has provided data, contact us for immediate erasure.
11. Policy Updates
We may refresh this document periodically. Revisions will be published with an adjusted effective date at the top of this page.
