This policy explains what personal data AMK News Media ("AMK News", "we") collects when you use https://amk.news, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run a news site.
What we collect
| Data | When | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server logs: IP address, browser type, pages requested, referrer, timestamps | Every visit | Security, abuse prevention, aggregate traffic statistics | Up to 30 days |
| Email address | When you subscribe to the Daily Briefing | Sending the newsletter you asked for | Until you unsubscribe |
| Name, email and message | When you use the contact form | Replying to you; handling complaints and corrections | Up to 2 years |
| Article view counts | When an article is opened | "Most Read" lists; no individual profile is built | Aggregate only |
| Cookie preference | When you answer the cookie banner | Remembering your choice | 12 months, in your browser |
What we do not do
- We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with data brokers.
- We do not build behavioural advertising profiles. If we show advertising, it is contextual (based on the page, not on you) unless you have opted in to more.
- We do not require an account to read AMK News.
Legal bases (EEA/UK readers)
We process server logs under our legitimate interest in running a secure service; newsletter and contact data on the basis of your consent or our contract with you; and we comply with legal obligations where they apply.
Sharing
We use a small number of service providers to host the site, deliver email and protect against attacks. They process data only on our instructions. We disclose data to authorities only where the law requires it.
International transfers
AMK News is operated from the United States. If you access the site from elsewhere, your data is processed in the United States under appropriate safeguards.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your data, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a supervisory authority. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of "sharing" for cross-context advertising; see Do not share or sell my info. To exercise any right, email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days and do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Children
AMK News is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS; access to systems is restricted and logged. No method of transmission is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes and contact
We will post any changes here with a new date. Questions: [email protected] · AMK News Media, 582 Courtlandt Avenue, Bronx, New York, NY 10455, United States.
