Privacy Policy

Our Commitment

At Modern Stoa, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with transparency. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymized data about:

• Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Your general geographic location (city/country level)
• The device and browser you use
• How you found our site (search engines, referral sites, etc.)

Search Data

When you use our search feature, we temporarily process your search queries to provide results. We do not store these searches permanently or associate them with your identity.

Information We Don't Collect

We do not:

• Require user accounts or personal registration
• Collect names, email addresses, or contact information
• Track you across other websites
• Sell your data to third parties
• Use invasive tracking technologies

Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for:

• Remembering your dark/light mode preference
• Basic analytics (Google Analytics cookies)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. This may affect some functionality but won't prevent you from reading our content.

External Links

Our guides contain links to external websites for books, products, and resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. When you click these links, you are subject to their privacy policies.

Affiliate Relationships

Some of our links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase. This does not affect our recommendations or your privacy. We only recommend products we genuinely believe align with Stoic principles.

Data Security

Our website is hosted on secure infrastructure with encryption in transit. Since we collect minimal data, there's minimal risk to your privacy.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Browse our site without providing personal information
• Opt out of analytics by using privacy-focused browsers or extensions
• Contact us with questions about this policy

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Significant changes will be noted clearly.
