Privacy Policy

Abyssal Signal ("we", "us") respects reader privacy. This policy explains what limited information we may collect and how it is used.

1. Browsing data

The Site is static and does not require accounts. Standard server logs may temporarily record IP address, user agent, referrer, and requested URL for security and diagnostic purposes. Logs are retained no longer than necessary and are not sold or shared with third parties.

2. Contact form

Information submitted through our contact form is delivered to our editorial mailbox. We use the information only to respond to your inquiry and do not share it with third parties.

3. Cookies

The Site does not set advertising or tracking cookies directly. However, third-party advertising partners (such as Google) may set cookies when they deliver ads on the Site. See Section 7 for details. Essential cookies may be used only to remember preferences such as a preferred layout, and only when strictly needed for site functionality.

4. Analytics

If we use privacy-preserving analytics, they will be aggregated and will not identify individual readers. We do not use fingerprinting or cross-site tracking.

5. Children

The Site is intended for general audiences and is safe for readers of all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

6. Your choices

You may browse the Site without providing any personal information. To request deletion of any correspondence you have sent us by email, contact us at the address on the Contact page.

7. Third-party advertising and Google

We may use third-party advertising partners, including Google, to display ads on the Site. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to the Site and other websites on the Internet.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the Site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on a visitor's visit to the Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
