Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Atlas Media Network, LLC ("Atlas Media Network," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit www.atlasmedianetwork.org (the "Site") or contact us. It also explains the choices and rights you may have.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
If you submit a form on the Site, such as a contact form, we collect the information you enter. This may include your name, email address, organization, and the content of your message. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information: your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, the pages you request, the referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to deliver and secure the Site.
When a form is submitted, our form processor may also record your IP address and browser information with the submission to help prevent spam and abuse.
Information we do not collect
We do not currently use analytics tools, advertising pixels, or social media tracking on the Site. We do not knowingly collect sensitive data, such as precise geolocation, health information, financial account details, or government identification numbers. Please do not include sensitive information in form submissions or emails.
2. How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and deliver the Site.
- To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about your request.
- To detect, prevent, and investigate spam, fraud, security incidents, and misuse.
- To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If we begin to use personal information for a purpose that is materially different from those listed here, we will update this policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent.
3. How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for targeted advertising, and we do not use it for profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
We disclose personal information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers (processors). Companies that process information on our behalf to run the Site. These currently include Netlify, Inc., which hosts the Site and processes form submissions, and Google LLC, which serves the web fonts used on the Site. When your browser loads these fonts, Google receives your IP address and browser information. Google's practices are described in its own privacy policy.
- Legal requirements. When we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Atlas Media Network, our users, or others.
- Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to this policy's protections.
- With your direction. When you ask us to share information or otherwise consent to the disclosure.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site does not set its own cookies and does not use tracking technologies for analytics or advertising. Our service providers may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to deliver the Site, protect it from abuse, and process form submissions. If we add analytics or similar tools in the future, we will update this policy before doing so.
5. Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Form submissions and related correspondence are kept for as long as needed to respond to you and manage our relationship with you, and then deleted, unless a longer period is required by law or needed to resolve disputes. Technical server logs are kept by our hosting provider under its standard retention schedule.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we process. The Site is served over encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. Residents of Connecticut have the following rights under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, subject to certain exceptions:
- Access. Confirm whether we process your personal information and access it.
- Correction. Correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
- Deletion. Delete personal information you provided to us or that we obtained about you.
- Portability. Obtain a copy of your personal information in a portable and, where technically feasible, readily usable format.
- Opt out. Opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, and profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. As described above, we do not engage in these activities.
Residents of other U.S. states with consumer privacy laws, including California, may have similar rights. We will honor requests as required by the laws that apply to us and will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
8. How to exercise your rights
To submit a request, email privacy@atlasmedianetwork.org with the subject line "Privacy Request," and tell us which right you wish to exercise.
- Verification. We may ask for information that lets us reasonably verify your identity before acting on your request. We use that information only for verification.
- Authorized agents. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law. We may ask for proof of the agent's authority and may ask you to verify your identity directly.
- Timing. We will respond within 45 days of receiving your request. When reasonably necessary, we may extend this period by an additional 45 days and will tell you before the first 45 days end.
- Cost. Requests are free of charge at least once per 12-month period. We may charge a reasonable fee or decline requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, as permitted by law.
Appeals
If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal our decision by emailing privacy@atlasmedianetwork.org with the subject line "Privacy Appeal" within a reasonable time after receiving our response. We will respond in writing within 60 days and explain the reasons for our decision. If your appeal is denied, you may contact the Connecticut Attorney General at portal.ct.gov/ag.
9. Opt-out preference signals
Where required by law, we treat a recognized opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a valid request to opt out of the sale of personal information and targeted advertising for that browser or device. Because we do not sell personal information or engage in targeted advertising, no further action is needed on your part.
10. Children and teens
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it. We do not sell the personal information of, or engage in targeted advertising to, consumers we know to be under 18.
11. International visitors
Atlas Media Network is based in the United States, and the Site is hosted in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
12. Third-party links
The Site may contain links to websites and services operated by others. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and change the "Last updated" date above. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice as required by law.
