Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This page explains the general ways information may be handled when you use QueerPos.

Information you provide

You may choose to provide information when you contact us, submit a news tip, leave a comment, sign up for a newsletter or otherwise communicate with the publication. This may include your name, email address and the information contained in your message.

Technical information

Like many websites, QueerPos may process standard technical information needed to operate, secure and maintain the site. Depending on the hosting, security, analytics and advertising services configured on this website, this may include browser or device information, approximate location derived from network information, pages requested and cookie identifiers.

Cookies and similar technologies

WordPress and services enabled on this website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, preferences, analytics, embedded media or advertising. The specific cookies in use depend on the tools and integrations installed by the site administrator. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

How information may be used

Information may be used to respond to enquiries, assess news tips, moderate comments, deliver requested updates, maintain website security, understand site performance or meet applicable legal obligations. We do not intend to use contact details submitted for one purpose for unrelated marketing without an appropriate basis or consent.

Third-party services and advertising

Articles may contain embedded content, and the site may use third-party hosting, newsletter, analytics, security or advertising services. Those providers may process information under their own privacy terms. Where advertising technology is enabled, relevant providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with the configuration and applicable law.

Retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate operational needs or legal requirements. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices and requests

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also unsubscribe from email updates using the instructions provided in the message. Contact us to make a privacy-related request.

Children

QueerPos is a general news and culture publication and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. Please contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information to the site.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website, its services or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with its updated date.

QueerPos newsletter subscriptions

If you subscribe to the QueerPos newsletter, your email address, subscription status, consent date and sign-up source are stored in the website’s WordPress database so we can manage the mailing list. Newsletter campaigns are sent using the email service configured by the site administrator. Each campaign includes an unsubscribe link. When you unsubscribe, your address is retained in an inactive state so it can be excluded from future campaigns. You can contact QueerPos to request access to or deletion of your information, subject to any record needed to respect your opt-out request.
