Legal & Reader Data

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 1, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Kestrel Wire collects only the information necessary to deliver our weekday Morning Briefing, authenticate registered reader accounts, and review voluntary editorial inquiries or technical reader notes. When you submit a briefing signup, inquiry, or comment, we receive the name, email address, and message details you explicitly provide.

2. How Reader Submissions & Comments Are Handled

Newsroom contact forms and briefing requests are stored inside access-controlled collections visible only to authorized publication administrators. When you submit a public reader note under an article, your email address is used strictly for moderation verification and is stripped from the public record before display.

3. Cookies & Color-Scheme Preferences

We store your optional light or dark color-scheme preference locally in your browser storage without transmitting behavioral tracking identifiers. If you sign in to a subscriber account via Member Center, an HTTP-only session cookie maintains your authenticated state.

4. Contact for Privacy Requests

To request export or deletion of your subscription record or submitted notes, write to privacy@example.test.
