This Privacy Policy outlines our data processing standards in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

1. Information We Collect

We intentionally minimize the scope of personal data collected from readers:

• Newsletter Subscriptions: When you subscribe to our briefings, we collect your verified email address and subscription timestamp.
• Technical Telemetry: Standard non-identifying server log data (IP address masked to /24 subnet, browser user-agent, referer URL, and requested resource).
• Local Preferences: Storage of theme selection (light/dark) and cookie consent preferences directly inside your browser’s localStorage.

2. How We Use Information

Data collected is used strictly to deliver editorial newsletter dispatches, secure our web infrastructure against automated denial-of-service attempts, and ensure high Core Web Vitals delivery performance. We do not sell, rent, or trade reader data to third-party data brokers.

3. Your Rights & Data Subject Requests

Under applicable data protection legislation, you maintain the right to access, rectify, or erase your stored personal records. To execute a data subject request, contact our Data Protection Officer at desk@stratiqtimes.com.
