1. Scope
This policy covers anchorassetview.com, its subdomains, and every email edition published by Anchor Asset View, LLC ("we", "us"). It does not cover third-party sites we link to, or advertisers' landing pages; each has its own policy.
2. Information we collect
You give us: email address (required to subscribe), first name (optional), the editions you choose, your consent and the time you gave it, and anything you write to us via forms or email.
We record automatically: IP address and approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, pages visited and time on page, referring URL, and error logs. For email: whether a message was delivered, bounced, opened (via a tracking image you can block) and which links were clicked.
We do not collect: payment details (we sell nothing), government identifiers, precise location, or data from data brokers. We do not combine your email with purchased profiles.
3. How we use it
- To send the editions you chose and the confirmation email that starts them.
- To honour unsubscribes and preference changes, and to keep a suppression list so we do not email you again after you leave.
- To measure which stories are read, so editors can do better work.
- To keep the site and our sending reputation secure: fraud, bot sign-ups, abuse reports.
- To answer your messages.
- To meet legal obligations, including CAN-SPAM record-keeping.
4. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Swiss readers)
Consent for email editions and analytics cookies; legitimate interests for security, service measurement and answering enquiries; legal obligation for records we must keep. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting what happened before.
5. Email communications and your choices
We send email only to addresses confirmed through double opt-in. Every marketing email contains a one-click unsubscribe link, a link to the preference center, our postal address and a statement of why you received it. Unsubscribe requests are processed immediately; messages already queued may arrive within 48 hours. After you unsubscribe we may still send one transactional confirmation of the change, and we must keep your address on a suppression list so we do not mail you again. Full operating rules: Anti-Spam & Email Policy.
6. Affiliate and advertising disclosure
The site and the editions are funded by advertising. We may receive compensation when you click a link or buy a product featured in a labeled sponsored placement or an affiliate link. Compensation never influences editorial decisions, and sponsors do not see our stories before publication. Assume that any link to a third-party product may generate compensation for us; where it does, we say so next to the link. Advertisers never receive your email address from us.
7. Cookies and tracking
We use essential cookies to remember your cookie choice and keep forms working, and, only if you accept, analytics cookies to count visits. We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to ad networks. Our emails contain a single tracking image; blocking images in your mail app disables it. Details: Cookie Policy.
8. Who we share with
| Recipient | Why |
|---|---|
| Email service provider | Sends our editions, stores the list and subscription status, processes unsubscribes. |
| Hosting and content delivery provider | Serves the website; sees IP addresses in logs. |
| Analytics provider (only if you accept cookies) | Aggregate visit statistics. |
| Bot-protection provider | Verifies that sign-ups are human. |
| Professional advisers; courts, regulators and law enforcement | Where the law requires or to defend our rights. |
| A successor business | If we are acquired, under the same commitments; you would be told first. |
All providers act under contract and may use your data only to serve us. We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we do not share subscriber lists with advertisers, partners or affiliates.
9. How long we keep it
- Unconfirmed sign-ups: deleted after 48 hours.
- Active subscribers: for as long as you are subscribed.
- After unsubscribing: the address stays on our suppression list indefinitely (so we never mail you again); engagement history is deleted within 90 days.
- Consent records (date, time, IP, source): 5 years, to evidence compliance.
- Website logs: 30 days.
- Correspondence: 2 years.
10. Security
Data is stored with providers that use encryption in transit and at rest, access is limited to staff who need it, and ESP API keys are never exposed in the browser. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you and the relevant regulator as the law requires.
11. International transfers
We are based in the United States and our providers process data there. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision where available.
12. Children
Our content is for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has subscribed, email privacy@anchorassetview.com and we will delete the address.
13. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to: tell you what we hold about you; correct it; delete it; stop using it for a particular purpose; give you a copy in a portable format; or stop sending you email. Residents of California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana and other US states with privacy laws, and residents of the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR), have these rights by statute; we honour them for everyone.
Use the data request form or email privacy@anchorassetview.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject. We may need to confirm your identity (normally by replying to the email address on file). We respond within 30 days, and within 45 days for CCPA requests. You may also complain to your local data protection authority; EEA residents can find theirs via the European Data Protection Board. You may appoint an authorised agent; we will verify the authorisation.
14. Non-discrimination
We will not treat you differently, deny you content or degrade the service because you exercised any privacy right.
15. Do not sell or share
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under California law, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months. There is therefore nothing to opt out of; a "Do Not Sell or Share" link is not required, but any request sent to privacy@anchorassetview.com will be recorded and honoured.
16. Changes
We will post changes here with a new effective date. For material changes affecting email subscribers we will also say so in the next edition. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised policy.
