Trend Watch Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information necessary to operate the site:

• Account details (name, email) for contributors and moderators.
• Newsletter submissions (email address and language preference).
• Analytics such as browser type or pages visited, captured in aggregate to improve usability.

2. How We Use Data

Personal data is used to deliver newsletters, authenticate accounts, monitor platform security, and send essential service notices. We do not sell or rent data to advertisers or third parties.

3. Cookies & Analytics

Trend Watch uses functional cookies to maintain sessions for authenticated users. Optional analytics cookies help us understand readership trends; these are anonymized and never combined with contributor accounts unless you provide consent.

4. Data Retention

Newsletter records are stored until you unsubscribe. Contributor profiles remain active as long as you collaborate with the project; inactive accounts may be archived but can be deleted upon request.

5. Your Choices

You can unsubscribe from newsletters via the link in each email, request data exports, or ask us to delete your account by emailing admin@onetext.org. We will respond within 30 days and confirm completion of your request.

6. Updates

We may update this privacy statement to reflect changes in law or platform features. Material updates will be announced on the homepage, and continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
