When you visit ii-89.com, we collect some basic data automatically — things like your IP address, browser type, and which pages you looked at. That kind of information comes through whether we ask for it or not, just as a natural part of how websites work. If you reach out to us directly, say via email at [email protected], we'll also hold onto whatever you share in that message, such as your name or email address. We don't go looking for more than we need. The point is simply to keep the site running properly and to understand, in broad terms, how people are using it.
We should be clear that ii-89.com is an independent review site — we write about ii89, we don't operate it. So we're not collecting payment details, account credentials, or anything like that. That's not what this site does. The data we do gather is pretty limited, and it's used for things like spotting technical issues, improving the reading experience, and occasionally responding to messages people send us.
We use cookies on ii-89.com. Some of them are functional — they help the site behave the way it's supposed to. Others come from third-party analytics tools that we use to get a rough sense of traffic patterns. These tools may collect data on their own terms, and honestly, their privacy practices are outside our direct control. We'd encourage you to check the policies of any third-party services if that's something you're concerned about. You can usually manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so might affect how parts of the site display or function.
We don't sell personal information. We don't hand it to advertisers or pass it along to third parties for their own marketing purposes. If we ever share data — for instance, with an analytics provider — it's only to the extent needed to run this site. We take reasonable precautions to keep information secure, though no system is completely foolproof and we won't pretend otherwise. Data sent to us by email is kept only as long as it's relevant, and we don't archive correspondence indefinitely.
If you've contacted us and want to know what we hold, or you'd like us to delete it, just send a message to [email protected]. We'll do our best to respond in a reasonable timeframe. There's no complicated process here — it's a small, independent site and we'd rather keep things straightforward.
Our approach to privacy may shift over time, particularly if the site changes in some way or if new legal obligations come into play. When that happens, we'll update this page to reflect the current position. We won't necessarily flag every minor edit, so it's worth revisiting this page occasionally if privacy matters to you. Continuing to use ii-89.com after any changes means you're comfortable with how things stand. If something here ever seems unclear or raises a question, feel free to get in touch at [email protected] — we're happy to talk through it.
