Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 24, 2025

Your privacy is a cornerstone of the trust you place in Steerania. Our policy is simple: we collect the absolute minimum information necessary, we are transparent about how we use it, and we prioritize your security.

This policy is designed to be read and understood by people, not just lawyers.

Our “Privacy by Design” Philosophy

Protecting your privacy is not an option; it is a principle.

No Tracking Cookies. No Banners. This site is built to respect your privacy. We do not use any advertising or analytics trackers. This means no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, and no other third-party scripts that monitor your behavior across the web. You will not see an annoying cookie banner on this site simply because we do not use any non-essential or tracking cookies. The only cookies that may be used are those that are strictly necessary for security (e.g., from our hosting provider) or basic site function. These functional cookies do not store personal information and are not used to track you.
Minimal Data Collection: We only ask for information that is strictly necessary to provide the service you are requesting. For our newsletter, this is only your email address.

Information We Collect:

When you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the following:

Your Email Address: To send you the newsletter you requested.
Subscription Consent: We require you to explicitly check a box, confirming your consent to receive emails. This action is recorded as proof of your consent.
Attribution Data (UTM Parameters & Timestamps): If you arrive via a special link, we may store information like the source of the link (e.g., “twitter_link”). We also record the timestamp of your subscription. This data is collected to help us understand which of our communication channels are most effective and is not used for any other purpose. This information is stored in localStorage in your browser for a period of 30 days and is not used to track your behavior across other websites. As this data is stored on your own device, you can clear it at any time by clearing your browser’s site data for steerania.com.

All email list data is managed by our email service provider, Brevo.

Your Rights and Choices

You are in full control of your information.

Unsubscribing: Every email we send will contain a clear, one-click “Unsubscribe” link in the footer. Clicking this will immediately and permanently remove you from that mailing list.
Data Access and Deletion: The data you provide (your email and any related attribution data) is stored securely with our email service provider. You are in full control. If you wish to view or delete the data we hold for you in our Brevo account, please contact us at editor@steerania.com, and we will process your request promptly.

How We Protect Your Information

We use trusted, GDPR-compliant third-party services (like Cloudflare for hosting and Brevo for email) that have robust security measures in place. We do not sell or share your personal information with anyone, ever.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for new regulatory requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
