Privacy Policy

Earthstage is designed as a place for independent exploration.

You are not required to create an account, and you are not tracked or profiled as you move through the archive.

This reflects a core principle drawn from library practice:
the right to read and explore without surveillance.

Information We Do (and Do Not) Collect

Earthstage does not:

require user registration
sell or share personal data
use advertising trackers

Basic server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and request data) may be recorded automatically for site operation and security. These logs are not used to build user profiles.

If you contact us by email, your message and contact information will be used only to respond to your inquiry.

Cookies

This site may use minimal cookies required for basic functionality.

Earthstage does not use cookies for behavioral tracking or advertising.

Embedded Content

Some pages on this site include embedded media (such as videos or archived content from external sources).

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These services may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own privacy policies.

Earthstage does not control or track this activity.

External Links

Earthstage contains links to external websites and archives.

These links are provided as pathways for further exploration. Once you leave this site, those external services operate under their own policies.

GDPR and Data Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions with data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data, including:

the right to request access to any personal data you have provided
the right to request correction or deletion

Because Earthstage collects minimal personal data, these rights typically apply only to information you voluntarily provide (such as email correspondence).
