Your privacy matters.
This policy explains, in plain language, what information Ninth Post may receive when you visit the site, contact us or interact with site features.
1. Information you provide
If you contact Ninth Post by email, we receive the information contained in your message, including your email address and any information you choose to provide. We use that information to respond to your request, investigate editorial questions and operate the publication.
2. Newsletter and forms
Ninth Post does not currently offer an active newsletter sign-up form on this website. If a newsletter or other subscription service is introduced, this policy will be updated before personal information is collected through that service. The updated notice will identify the information requested and explain the relevant service provider and purpose.
3. Analytics and advertising technologies
The website currently loads Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and the Google AdSense advertising script. Microsoft Clarity may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with pages, including interaction and session-replay diagnostics, subject to its configuration and applicable choices. Depending on the services, configuration, your location and your choices, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies and process information such as online identifiers, IP-related technical data, browser and device details, pages viewed, and interactions. Analytics is intended to help understand website use; advertising technologies may be used to provide, measure, limit or personalize advertising where permitted by the applicable settings and law.
The presence of a script does not itself confirm that every feature is active, that ads are being served, or that a particular consent setting is enabled. Third-party processing is subject to the relevant provider's terms, privacy disclosures and configuration. For more information, review Google's Privacy Policy, Google's advertising information and Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
4. Cookies, choices and regional requirements
Your browser may provide controls to block or delete cookies, though some site features or measurement may not work as intended. Depending on where visitors are located and how advertising is configured, applicable laws or Google requirements may require a consent notice or a certified consent-management solution before certain technologies are used. Ninth Post will configure and maintain any consent notice or certified consent-management solution required for the regions and advertising settings it serves. Browser settings do not replace a consent mechanism where one is legally required.
5. Third-party links and services
Articles may link to external websites, research, products or services. Ninth Post does not control the privacy practices of those external sites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party websites they choose to visit.
6. Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect information under our control. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Data retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to communications, maintain editorial records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or operate the site.
8. Your choices
You can choose not to provide optional information. If you have contacted us and want to ask about the information associated with your communication, email prasad@ninthpost.com.
9. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the site, services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page.
