Prototype data posture

This site is a static editorial prototype and, by default, does not conduct behavioral advertising or employ active analytics tracking. The design assumes a privacy-minimizing posture: pages are published to inform readers and to point to authoritative sources rather than to profile visitors or to support targeted offers.

Cookies and potential features

If cookies are introduced for site functionality, they will be limited to basic session needs; advertising cookies are not part of the current prototype. Any change to cookie use will be described in this privacy statement. You may assume that, for the prototype, persistent tracking cookies are not present unless explicitly stated elsewhere on the site.

Analytics and telemetry

There is no active analytics collection by default. If analytics are added in the future, the implementation will be disclosed here along with information about the scope of data collected and how long it is retained. The project’s default approach is to avoid user-level tracking and to favour aggregated, privacy-conscious telemetry if any is needed for site maintenance.

Contact form and email handling

The site offers a contact address for editorial inquiries. Any contact form provided is a prototype and does not transmit data to third-party marketing services. Email correspondence is handled by editorial staff for the purpose of responding to queries, corrections, and rights requests. Personal information included in email exchanges is used only to reply to the inquiry and to follow up on requested corrections or permissions.

Newsletter placeholder

There is a newsletter placeholder on the site. If a subscription function is ever connected, the privacy implications will be disclosed and subscribers will be informed about what data is stored and how it is used. The prototype state described elsewhere on this site does not collect subscriber data.

Data retention and minimization

We retain only what is necessary to fulfill editorial correspondence and corrections requests. Editorial email archives are maintained to enable follow-up and to document dispute resolution. Personal data received in an editorial context is not used for marketing or profiling and is deleted when no longer necessary to maintain an accurate editorial record, subject to practical constraints and legal obligations.

Third-party links and content

We link to official sources, Navajo Nation communications, and operator pages for operational details. Those third-party sites have their own privacy practices. When you follow external links, review the linked site’s privacy policy for information about cookies, tracking, and data handling on that site.

Practical limits

Because this project is an editorial prototype with limited technical infrastructure, there are practical limits to data portability, automated deletion, and large-scale user requests. We will, however, make reasonable efforts to respond to access, correction, and deletion requests, and to update this privacy statement as features change.
