Privacy for the WinMedia site

WinMedia uses a restrained data posture. Information is collected only for specific site functions such as optional analytics, direct inquiries, and an explicitly requested WinMedia Dispatch subscription.

Current data posture

WinMedia is not designed as a broad consumer data platform. Data may include optional GA4 analytics after affirmative consent, browser metadata, information intentionally submitted through contact surfaces, and an email address intentionally submitted for WinMedia Dispatch.

Optional site analytics

Google Analytics 4 is disabled until you allow it. You can reject it or change your choice later through Analytics preferences in the site footer. See the cookie policy for details about the saved choice and withdrawal.

WinMedia Dispatch

WinMedia Dispatch subscriptions collect only the email address submitted by the subscriber. The address is sent server-side to Buttondown, which handles confirmation, subscriber management, email delivery, and unsubscribe processing.

Dispatch uses double opt-in: submitting an address does not complete the subscription until the recipient confirms it. WinMedia does not mirror the Dispatch subscriber list into its own database.

Expected uses of information

Maintain the site and understand baseline editorial traffic.
Respond to direct inquiries or collaboration requests.
Deliver WinMedia Dispatch only to people who intentionally subscribe and confirm their address.

Data minimization

WinMedia does not require names, profiles, topic preferences, or behavioral segmentation for Dispatch. If richer account systems or new data processors are introduced later, this policy should be updated before those systems become a production dependency.
