Privacy policy
Effective November 5, 2026
This policy explains what personal data Argus (“the service”) collects, why, and how you can control it.
1. Why we process data
- To confirm and send the newsletter
- To measure site traffic
- To block automated sign-up abuse
2. What we collect
- Newsletter: email address (required) and subscription language
- Collected automatically: IP address, browser and device information, visit history (Google Analytics cookies), and a language cookie (argus_lang)
- We do not knowingly collect data from children under 14.
3. How long we keep it
- We keep your email address until you unsubscribe. Unsubscribing stops all mail immediately, and we delete your address without delay on request.
- Traffic statistics follow the Google Analytics data retention setting.
4. Sharing
- We do not share personal data with third parties unless required by law.
5. Processors and international transfers
| Recipient | Country | Purpose | Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kit (ConvertKit, LLC) | United States | Newsletter management and delivery | Email address, language |
| Vercel Inc. | United States | Website hosting and access logs | IP address, browser information |
| Google LLC | United States | Traffic statistics (Google Analytics) | Cookie identifiers, visit history |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | United States | Bot protection (when enabled) | IP address, browser information |
Data is sent over the network when you subscribe or visit, and kept for the periods in section 3. If you do not subscribe or you block cookies, that data is not transferred; without transferring your email address we cannot send the newsletter.
6. Your rights
- You can ask to access, correct, delete or stop the processing of your data at any time using the contact below.
- Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.
7. Deletion
- When the retention period ends or you ask for deletion, we delete the data from our processors’ systems so it cannot be recovered.
8. Cookies
- We use cookies for traffic statistics and your language preference. You can block cookies in your browser; the map and briefings still work.
9. Security
- Data is encrypted in transit with HTTPS, and access to subscriber data is limited to the minimum necessary.
10. Contact
- Argus operator
- johnyeom24@naver.com
11. Changes
- If this policy changes, we will post the new version here with its effective date.
