Mirror Standard values reader trust. We collect only limited information necessary to operate our newsroom, communicate with readers, and improve our journalism. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
When you visit our website, basic technical data such as pages viewed, device type, and browser information may be collected automatically. This information helps us understand readership patterns and improve site performance.
If you contact us directly — for tips, corrections, or inquiries — we collect only the information you choose to provide, such as your name and email address.
We do not collect unnecessary personal data, and we do not sell or trade user information.
If you subscribe to the Mirror Standard newsletter, we collect your email address so we can send you our reporting. We use double opt-in: after you subscribe we email you a confirmation link, and you are not added to the active list until you click it.
We use Kit (kit.com) as our email service provider. Kit stores your email address and sends our emails on our behalf, under its own privacy policy. We do not sell, rent, or trade our subscriber list.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email, or by writing to mirrorstandardnews@gmail.com. Your subscription is based on your consent, and you may withdraw it whenever you wish.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use the information you give us directly, such as your name or email address, for advertising. We do promote some articles through Google Ads. To measure how those promotions perform, we use Google tags that place cookies on your device and may collect information such as pages viewed, device and browser details, and a cookie identifier.
We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Ads measurement tags, to understand how readers use our site and to measure the performance of articles we promote. These services are provided by Google and process data under Google's own privacy policy.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Ads personalization at adssettings.google.com. Blocking cookies will not affect your access to our reporting.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data. Requests can be submitted using the contact below.
mirrorstandardnews@gmail.comWe take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access. Because we limit the data we collect, we also limit exposure and risk.
Mirror Standard collects as little information as possible, uses it only to support journalism, and never sells personal data.
