01Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Remote Work Unlocked ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a story pitch, or otherwise interact with our publication.
We have written this policy in plain language. If anything is unclear, please reach out — the contact details are at the end.
02Information we collect
We collect only what we need to operate the publication and serve you well. This includes:
- Information you provide directly: your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter, your name and pitch when you submit to write for us, and any details you include in messages you send us.
- Information collected automatically: standard server logs (IP address, browser type, referring page, pages viewed), and aggregated analytics about how visitors use the site.
- Information from third-party services: if you sign in or interact through an integrated service (such as a comments platform or newsletter provider), that service may share basic profile data with us.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, financial data, or government identifiers.
03How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver the newsletter and other content you have requested.
- Respond to messages, pitches, and inquiries.
- Understand which articles resonate, in aggregate, so we can publish better work.
- Keep the site secure and operational.
- Comply with our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to build profiles for advertising networks.
04Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies to make the site work and to understand readership patterns. These fall into two categories:
- Essential cookies that enable basic functions like remembering your preferences.
- Analytics cookies that help us measure traffic in aggregate. We use a privacy-respecting analytics provider that does not track individual users across the wider web.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not function as intended if you do.
05Sharing with third parties
We share data only with the service providers that help us run the publication — for example, our email service provider, our hosting platform, and our analytics provider. These providers are contractually bound to handle data on our behalf and only for the purposes we specify.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to investigate fraud or security issues.
06Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe at any time, and we will delete the associated email from our active list. Server logs are typically rotated within 90 days.
07Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of your information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@remoteworkunlocked.work.
08Children’s privacy
Our publication is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
09Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our practices or the law evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify subscribers by email.
10How to contact us
If you have questions about this policy or how we handle your information, please email hello@remoteworkunlocked.work. We aim to respond within five business days.
