Policy
Privacy Policy
What we collect, what we don't, and how we use it. Effective July 2, 2026.
The short version
Shadowfetch News is an ad-light, reader-supported newsroom. We do not run advertising trackers, we do not sell or share reader data, and we collect the minimum needed to run the site.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to The Shadowfetch Brief, we store the email address you give us and use it for exactly one thing: sending you the newsletter. We never sell, rent, or share subscriber emails. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time — your address is then removed from our list.
Visit counter
Our homepage shows a simple aggregate visit counter. It is a single site-wide number — we do not build visitor profiles, we do not use analytics cookies, and we do not track individual readers across pages or sites. The counter uses your browser's local storage only to avoid double-counting your own visits on the same day.
Infrastructure
The site is served on Cloudflare's global network. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard connection data (such as IP addresses) to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse; see Cloudflare's privacy policy. Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts.
No ad tracking
We run no third-party advertising, no ad pixels, and no cross-site trackers.
