Who we are

Our website address is: https://IdeasTechPolitics.com.

All content is made with ❤️ in Portland, Oregon.

You can contact us here.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

We don’t allow comments.

Media

We don’t allow media uploads. All good here. DMCA take down request here.

We may offer mirroring of files used in a project or on a thought piece; we will also include first party links. We mirror them for archival purposes (things on the Internet tend to disappear) so people can access to the awesome thing you created (especially in the future). If you discover something of yours hosted and don’t want us to mirror it, please provide us with proof of original ownership, our link to the file, and the link to the post you found it on. We attempt to link to the parent content of the file(s) if possible, not directly link to the file. This also helps you get traffic and maybe discovered by more people. We’d be happy to take it down, but sad you decided if you didn’t want people to have access to it. We’re also not liable for damages etc. etc. etc., we didn’t make it 🤷‍♂️.

Contact forms

If you send any information to us or attempt to contact us, that’s voluntary and we’ll do our best to treat that and keep that confidential.

Cookies

We place the default WordPress cookies. In addition we host our own Matomo analytics platform. We collect basic information, including, but not limited to: page(s) viewed, browser, country of origin, platform (e.g. desktop/phone). We respect “Do Not Track” browser sends as well as AD blockers. You can also opt-out here:

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you see a link labeled AL or (AL), it’s an affiliate link and we make a tiny amount of money if you decide to purchase something. It pays for the site and we’re not getting rich 😭. We do really appreciate the support, you can also support the site here.

Analytics

Basic analytics, looking at anonymous readership. We collect the least amount of data possible and de-identify it as much as possible.

We’re not interested in selling ads, ‘monetizing’ traffic or reader viewing habits. If you’d like to support us, please do so here: https://ideastechpolitics.com/support/
