Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-21

In effect from: August 21, 2026

Findandcite (findandcite.com) publishes Findandcite. Here is what happens to information when you visit, stated as plainly as we can manage.

Retention & Security

Data lifespans are tied to purpose — analytics on the provider’s expiry schedule, email addresses until you leave the list, comments until they are taken down. Protection is by way of restricted access and encrypted transport, applied proportionately. No online service can be perfectly secure.

Uses and Purposes

We process this information to maintain and secure the site, to analyse readership in aggregate, to send opted-in email, and to support advertising if and where it runs.

Mailing List

Mailing-list signup requires confirmation from the address given, which stops anyone subscribing you without your knowledge. Unsubscribe links and a postal address appear in every message, and we do not pass the list to anyone.

Age and This Site

Nothing here is directed at children. The site assumes an adult reader, we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 (16 where required), and any such data discovered is deleted promptly.

Parties We Work With

The parties that may receive data are our hosting provider, any analytics service in use, the email platform behind the newsletter, and advertising networks where advertising is served. Advertising and analytics vendors generally act as independent controllers; the rest act as processors on our instruction.

On Cookies

The Cookie Policy explains which cookies may be set on findandcite.com and how you can manage them.

Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Rights You Have

Rights available to you may include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. The GDPR covers UK and EU readers; the CCPA/CPRA and similar state statutes cover much of the US. We act on Global Privacy Control signals. See Do Not Sell or Share and the State Privacy Notice.

What Gets Collected

Some information arrives without you doing anything: standard web-server and analytics records covering IP address, device, browser, rough location and pages viewed. Other information arrives because you sent it — newsletter signups, comment fields, and email correspondence.

• A specific note for readers interested in Findandcite: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.
