Information we collect

You may browse STHETIC JOURNAL without creating an account or directly providing personal information.

When you choose to interact with the Journal, you may voluntarily provide information such as your email address when subscribing to The Weekly Edit, or your name, email address and message when contacting us.

Basic technical information may also be processed as part of operating and securing the website, such as information associated with your browser, device or requests made to the site.

How we use information

Information you provide is used only for purposes connected to your interaction with STHETIC JOURNAL.

This may include sending The Weekly Edit and related newsletter communications, responding to messages or inquiries, reviewing editorial or partnership requests, maintaining the website, preventing abuse and improving the experience of the Journal.

The Weekly Edit

If you subscribe to The Weekly Edit, your email address is used to send the newsletter and related editorial communications from STHETIC JOURNAL.

Newsletter delivery is supported by Resend, a third-party email service provider. Information necessary to manage and deliver newsletter emails may therefore be processed through that service.

To unsubscribe, use the individual unsubscribe link included at the bottom of any email from The Weekly Edit.

When you contact STHETIC JOURNAL through the website, information you submit is used to review and respond to your inquiry.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through general contact forms unless it is necessary for your request.

Service providers

STHETIC JOURNAL uses third-party services to operate parts of the website and its communications. These may include services for website hosting, database infrastructure and email delivery.

Current services used by the Journal include Vercel for website hosting and deployment, Supabase for website data infrastructure and Resend for newsletter and email delivery.

These providers may process limited information as needed to provide their services and are governed by their own privacy practices.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website and the services used to operate it may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for functionality, security or technical operation.

Affiliate links

Some content on STHETIC JOURNAL may include affiliate links. If you follow an affiliate link, the third-party website you visit may use its own cookies or tracking technologies.

Those third-party websites operate under their own privacy policies, and STHETIC JOURNAL does not control their data practices.

How long information is kept

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate the Journal or to meet applicable legal and administrative requirements.

Newsletter subscription information may be retained while you remain subscribed and as reasonably necessary to maintain unsubscribe records.
