Welcome to Sappho's Arc ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate sapphosarc.com, an independent entertainment discovery and editorial website focused on sapphic stories, books, television, films and the people behind them.
We respect your privacy and aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate and improve our website.

- Website usage information: Pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, referral sources and interactions with our website, where analytics are enabled.
- Technical information: IP addresses, browser information, request details and security-related logs processed by our hosting and infrastructure providers.

We do not require readers to create an account to browse our public content.
How We Use Information
We use information to operate and secure the website, deliver newsletters you request, respond to inquiries, understand website performance where permitted, improve our content and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell our newsletter subscriber lists to advertisers.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website.
Where required, analytics are activated only after you provide consent. You may decline analytics or change your preferences using the website's analytics settings.
Google's privacy practices are explained at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies for essential functionality, remembering preferences and consent-based analytics.
If advertising is enabled, advertising partners may use additional technologies as described in this policy and our Cookie Policy.
You can manage available preferences through our website's privacy controls and your browser settings.

Sappho's Arc may display advertisements, including advertisements served by Google or other advertising partners.
When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or other identifiers to serve and measure advertisements. Depending on your location and consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

We will update our disclosures and consent controls as necessary before activating additional advertising services.
Retailer and Affiliate Links
Our website links to independent third-party retailers, streaming platforms and other services.
When you follow an external link, that destination may collect information according to its own privacy policy.
Some links may eventually generate a commission for Sappho's Arc. Any applicable commercial relationships will be disclosed.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to The Weekly Arc or another newsletter, we use your email address to send the content you requested.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in our emails.
We do not add visitors to marketing email lists simply because they browse our website.
Service Providers
We use third-party technology providers to operate our website, including Cloudflare for hosting and security, Supabase for database and application services, and Google Analytics for consent-based website measurement.
We may also use an email delivery provider to manage newsletter subscriptions.
These providers may process information on our behalf and may operate in countries outside your country of residence.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable legal, operational and security requirements.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information. However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, withdraw consent, or object to certain processing activities.
