Privacy policy

tek54 is built to respect your attention and your data. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we handle and the choices available to you. It applies to tek54.com and our email newsletters.

Information we collect

• Usage data: privacy-preserving, aggregated analytics about which stories are read and how the site performs. This is used in aggregate and is not used to build a profile of you.
• Information you give us: your email address if you subscribe to a newsletter; the contents of any message you send us.
• Technical data: standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) kept briefly for security and abuse prevention.

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not run third-party advertising trackers, and we do not build cross-site advertising profiles. We do not use dark patterns to extract consent.

Cookies

We use the minimum cookies and local storage necessary to remember your preferences (such as light or dark theme) and to keep the site secure. We do not use advertising cookies.

How we use your information

• To deliver and improve the publication and its performance.
• To send the newsletters you have asked for — and only those.
• To respond to your messages and enquiries.
• To detect, prevent, and investigate abuse or security incidents.

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe; server logs are rotated on a short schedule.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from any email at any time using the link in that email. You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you by emailing privacy@tek54.com, and we will action reasonable requests promptly. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law, which we honour.
