Unpanic.news

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 12th, 2025

unpanic.news (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use unpanic.news (the “Site”).

By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. What We Collect

We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or contact details.

We do collect anonymized usage data through Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused, GDPR-compliant analytics platform. This data helps us understand how visitors interact with the Site so we can improve performance, usability, and content relevance.

2. Use of Umami Analytics

We use Umami Analytics to collect basic, non-identifiable data such as:

  • Page views
  • Referring websites
  • Device types (e.g., mobile vs. desktop)
  • Browser and operating system
  • General geographic region (e.g., country)

This data is:

  • Fully anonymized: No IP addresses or identifiable user information is stored.
  • Not shared with third-party advertisers or ad networks.
  • GDPR-compliant and respectful of user privacy by default.

We self-host or configure Umami in a way that ensures no personal tracking occurs.

3. How We Use the Data

We use analytics data solely to:

  • Monitor site performance
  • Understand general traffic patterns
  • Improve user experience
  • Diagnose technical issues

We do not use data to target you with ads or sell your information to third parties.

4. Cookies

Umami may use a first-party cookie to distinguish repeat visits during a session, but it does not store any personally identifiable data or track users across sites.

5. Your Rights (GDPR/Canada)

If you are located in the European Union, you have the right under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to:

  • Access the data we collect
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing

If you are a resident of Canada, your data is handled in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which gives you similar rights of access and transparency.

Because we do not store any personal data, requests can typically be fulfilled without issue.

6. Data Retention

We retain only anonymized, aggregate usage data through Umami for statistical analysis. No personal or persistent identifiers are stored or retained by us.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated effective date.
