Privacy Policy

Last revised: March 5, 2026

Overview

When you visit seatbacknotes.com, you are reading content published by Seatback Notes. Our goal is to collect as little as possible and to be upfront about everything we do collect.

Types of Information

The information we hold falls into a few simple groups, described below. When you browse, your device shares information such as browser version, device identifiers, pages viewed and how long you stayed. Newsletter sign-ups give us your email address and, optionally, your first name.

Purposes of Processing

Data helps us see what readers enjoy so we can plan future stories. It may also be used to show advertising that helps pay for our free content. We never rent or trade our email list.

Disclosure of Data

Only a few situations lead us to pass information on. If Seatback Notes is merged, acquired or transferred, reader information may move with it, under the same protections.

Aggregated, non-identifying statistics may be shared publicly.

Advertising and Analytics

Seatback Notes relies on outside companies for hosting, analytics and advertising. Examples include Fathom Analytics, which helps us count visits, and Google AdSense, which serves the ads you may see. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Storage Period

Retention periods depend on the type of information. Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months unless a longer period is required by law. Backups follow the same schedule.

How We Protect Data

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. Even so, the internet is never entirely risk-free.

Choices You Have

You may object to processing, withdraw consent, or ask for your data to be erased. Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and other states may have similar rights. Write to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request" and we will get back to you within one month.

Minors

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). Please let us know at [email protected] so we can act quickly.

Updates

Changes may be made without prior notice. Please check back occasionally to stay informed.

Data Location

Servers used by our partners are located in several countries. We take steps to ensure such transfers receive adequate protection.
