Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

The short version

Privacy policies tend to be long because most websites do a lot with your data. Ours is short because we do very little.

• This website sets no tracking cookies, runs no analytics scripts, and shows no advertising.
• Apart from the standard server logs our host keeps (explained below), the only information collected here is what you choose to send us through the contact form.
• Our outreach work uses professional contact details (names, roles, and work email addresses), and every outreach email includes a working opt-out.
• We do not sell personal information, to anyone, for any purpose.

The rest of this page spells each of those out.

No cookies, no analytics, no advertising

When you browse this site, nothing on the page tracks you. We set no tracking cookies, we load no analytics scripts (no Google Analytics, no pixels, no session recording), and we serve no advertising. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

As with nearly every website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs as part of operating the service: things like the IP address a request came from, the page requested, and a timestamp. Those logs exist for security and reliability. We do not use them to identify, profile, or track visitors.

What we collect through the website

The contact form is the only place this website deliberately collects information, and it collects only what you type in:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your organization (optional)
• A URL relevant to your inquiry (optional)
• Your message

When you submit the form, your message is relayed by email to our inbox. We use it for exactly one thing: replying to you and handling the inquiry you raised. It does not feed a marketing list, a newsletter, or any automated follow-up. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest: answering the inquiry you chose to send us.

Our outreach work

Separately from this website, the core of our work involves contacting publishers, editors, and journalists about specific published content. For that we process professional contact information: names, roles, and work email addresses. We gather it from publicly available editorial sources, such as mastheads, bylines, and staff pages, and from reputable business-contact services that locate and verify work email addresses.

We use this information for one purpose: sending editorial correspondence about the accuracy, currency, and completeness of published content. Three commitments apply to every message we send:

• Every outreach email includes a working opt-out.
• Opt-outs take effect within ten business days at the latest, and usually much sooner.
• Once you opt out, your address goes on a permanent do-not-contact list that applies across all outreach we operate, so we never email you again.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest: corresponding with editorial staff, in their professional capacity, about content their outlet published. You can object to this processing at any time; the simplest way is the opt-out in any email from us, and the objection is honored without argument.

Service providers

For this website, two providers process data on our behalf, each for a narrow job:

• Vercel hosts this website. As the host, it keeps the standard server logs described above.
• Resend delivers contact-form submissions to our inbox by email.

For our outreach work, professional-contact and email-delivery services process contact information on our instructions, under the same commitments described above. On this website we embed no third-party scripts, widgets, or trackers that would pass your data to anyone else.

Selling and sharing

We do not sell personal information. We do not trade it, rent it, or share it for advertising. The only parties that see personal information we hold are the service providers above, acting on our instructions, and, where the law requires disclosure, whoever we are legally compelled to provide it to, such as in response to a valid court order, subpoena, or other legal demand.

How long we keep information

• Contact-form inquiries: as long as needed to handle the inquiry, then up to two years so we have context if you write to us again about the same matter.
• Outreach contact details: for as long as they remain relevant to editorial correspondence, unless you opt out.
• Do-not-contact records: indefinitely, because deleting one would defeat its purpose. Keeping your address on that list is how we make sure the opt-out sticks.

How we protect information

We keep very little data, and we keep access to it narrow. Inquiries and outreach records are available only to the people who need them to do the work, the accounts that hold them are protected by strong authentication, and data moves between you, our providers, and us over encrypted connections.

Your rights

Wherever you are, you can ask us:

• What personal information we hold about you
• To correct it if it is wrong
• To delete it
• To object to our processing (including our outreach) or to restrict it
• To receive a copy of the information you gave us

We honor the rights granted by the GDPR, the UK GDPR, and applicable US state privacy laws, and we extend the same basic courtesies to everyone regardless of jurisdiction. To make a request, use the contact form or write to us by post at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request; that step exists so nobody else can obtain or delete your information.

Children

This site and our services are aimed at adults working in and around the media. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under sixteen. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Where we are and how to reach us

Content Integrity is based in New York, and information you send us is processed in the United States. If you contact us from the EU, the UK, or anywhere else, your information is transferred to the United States when it reaches our inbox. We apply this policy, and honor the rights above, regardless of where the data sits.

• Online: the contact form on this site
• By post: Content Integrity, 99 Wall Street, Suite 5515, New York, NY 10005

Changes to this policy

If our practices change, this page changes with them. We post the updated policy here and revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. If a change is material (for example, if we ever adopt an analytics tool), we will state it plainly in the policy rather than bury it. The date at the top always tells you which version of this policy you are reading.
