Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 November 2026
This policy explains what information AQWORL ("we", "us") collects when you visit our website, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Information you send us. If you email or message us, or subscribe to our briefing, we receive your email address or phone number and the content of your message. We use it only to reply, to send the briefing you asked for, and to improve our work.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting server may log your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you open and the time of your visit. This is used for security and to keep the site running.
You do not need an account to read AQWORL, and our own pages do not set cookies. At the time of writing we do not run our own analytics tools. If we add them, we will update this policy.
Advertising and cookies
We may show advertising served by third parties, including Google AdSense. These vendors use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites, and to measure how ads perform. Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or through aboutads.info. You can also learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Where the law requires it, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before ads that use cookies are shown.
Fonts and other third-party services
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google servers and your IP address is shared with Google for that purpose. Links to other websites, including the sources we cite, are governed by those websites' own privacy policies.
How we use and share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the website, such as hosting and advertising partners, and where we are required to by law.
Retention and security
We keep messages and email addresses only as long as needed for the purpose they were given for, and we take reasonable steps to protect information, although no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent to our briefing at any time, by contacting us. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features of third-party services may then not work as expected. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local data-protection law.
Children
AQWORL is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
