Privacy Policy
US-IRAN MONITOR ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Scope
This policy applies to information collected through this website and through communications you initiate with us (such as briefing requests). It does not apply to third-party websites we may link to.
Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact us — for example, by submitting a briefing request, sending an email, or completing a contact form — we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, company, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate site usage. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiries and briefing requests;
- To provide, operate, and improve our publications and services;
- To send you the Daily Bulletin or other materials you have requested (you can opt out at any time);
- To maintain the security and integrity of the site; and
- To comply with legal and professional obligations, including conflict-of-interest checks and applicable sanctions and anti-money-laundering requirements.
Legal basis for processing (EEA/UK)
Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal data on the basis of: your consent; the performance of, or steps to enter into, a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating and securing our business; and compliance with our legal obligations.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate this site and our communications (for example, hosting and email providers), bound by confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law, to comply with legal process, or to protect our rights, and in connection with conflict checks or sanctions screening as part of our professional obligations.
Cookies & analytics
This site uses minimal cookies and similar technologies necessary for its operation and, where applicable, to remember preferences such as light/dark display mode. If we use analytics, we configure it to respect your privacy and minimize the collection of personal data. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal and professional record-keeping obligations, and to resolve disputes.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR; California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell personal information). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through unencrypted channels.
Contact us
For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, please reach us through the contact section of this site. We may update this policy from time to time; the "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
