This Privacy Policy explains how New Worlds Magazine (“we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit NeWorldsMagazine.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment or contact us. By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

  • Newsletter sign-ups: your email address and, if requested, your name.
  • Comments: the name, email address and content you submit with a comment.
  • Contributor pitches: any information you include when you submit an article idea.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, time spent on the Site and approximate location derived from your IP address. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

  • To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its content.
  • To respond to your messages, tips and correction requests.
  • To send newsletters you have subscribed to.
  • To display and moderate comments.
  • To understand how readers use the Site through analytics.
  • To show advertising, including personalized advertising where you have consented.
  • To detect spam, fraud and security issues.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we process personal data on the following legal bases: your consent (for example, newsletters and non-essential cookies); our legitimate interests (such as running, securing and improving the Site); performance of a contract where applicable; and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to make the Site work, remember your preferences, measure traffic and support advertising. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the Site. These services collect information about your visits using cookies and may process data on their own servers. We use this information in aggregate form to improve our content and user experience. You can opt out by declining analytics cookies or using browser tools such as the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send you updates and featured stories. Our email provider may collect information about whether emails are opened and which links are clicked. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

Comments

When you leave a comment, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. Your name and comment are publicly visible. We may use automated spam-detection services to screen comments. Please do not include sensitive personal information in comments.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

We work with third-party service providers for hosting, analytics, email delivery, spam protection and advertising. Advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your interests and to measure ad performance. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

The Site may contain embedded content (such as videos or social media posts) and links to other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with service providers who process it on our behalf, with advertising partners as described above, when required by law, or to protect our rights, users or the Site. If the Site is involved in a merger or transfer, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact messages are generally kept for as long as needed to handle your request. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Comments and related data may be kept indefinitely so they can remain published, unless you ask us to remove them. Analytics data is retained according to our providers’ settings.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion of your information.
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Receive your data in a portable format.
  • Withdraw consent at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose; to request deletion or correction; to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, contact us using the details below. You may also use browser-based signals such as Global Privacy Control where supported.

We will respond to verified requests within the time required by applicable law.

International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect transferred data.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
