Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 26, 2026

1. Introduction

MilTechMag ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website miltechmag.com. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect when you visit our site, how we use and protect that information, and the choices available to you. By accessing or using our website you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Automatically Collected Information

When you browse our website, our servers and analytics tools may automatically record certain technical data, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and the date and time of each request. We use privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics (Umami) that does not track individual users across sessions or websites.

2.2 Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we collect the information you submit, such as your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

2.3 Information from Third-Party Platforms

If you sign in to our website using a third-party authentication provider, we may receive your display name and a unique identifier. We do not receive or store your password from any third-party service.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process the information described above for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve our website and content.
  • To analyze aggregate traffic patterns and usage trends.
  • To respond to your inquiries and provide support.
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality (e.g., session management). We do not deploy tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party marketing tags. Our analytics solution is cookie-free and fully GDPR-compliant by design.

5. Affiliate Links

Certain articles on our website contain affiliate links to third-party products and services. When you click on an affiliate link and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may set their own cookies upon click-through; please refer to each partner's privacy policy for details. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial ratings or recommendations.

6. Third-Party Services

We rely on third-party providers for hosting, content delivery, and analytics. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy. We select partners that maintain industry-standard security practices and, where possible, GDPR-compliant data processing agreements.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures — including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular software updates — to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100 % secure; we therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected analytics data in aggregate form for up to 24 months. Personal information submitted through contact forms is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, after which it is securely deleted.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Request erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
  • Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

10. GDPR Compliance (EEA Users)

For visitors located in the European Economic Area, we process personal data under the lawful bases of legitimate interest (website analytics and security) and consent (contact form submissions). Our minimal data collection practices and cookie-free analytics are designed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

11. CCPA Compliance (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

12. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

13. International Data Transfers

Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country of residence. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your information to jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure your data remains protected in accordance with this policy.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
