Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 14, 2026

Decolonize Mars is an editorial website at decolonizemars.org. The operator’s address for privacy matters is [email protected]. This explanation concerns information associated with the publication, not participation in a mission, research program or membership organization. Optional features are described conditionally.

Information supplied intentionally

Email correspondence and any available form can provide a name, reply address, text and attachments. Those details support handling the inquiry and appropriate follow-up. Services delivering forms or checking for spam may process submissions and associated technical information. A scientific reference or public link is preferable to unnecessary confidential documents.

If newsletters are offered, subscribing provides requested information for delivery and preferences. The mailing service may process delivery records and enabled measurements of opens or clicks. Readers can unsubscribe within a mailing or ask the operator for assistance. Minimal suppression records may remain to preserve the choice not to receive further messages.

Information associated with technology

A page request may expose its URL, referring address, access time, IP address and browser or device attributes. Hosting and protection providers use such information for delivery, fault investigation and prevention of misuse. Enabled analytics may record identifiers and reading events to understand usage and improve the publication.

Ads, where enabled, may involve identifiers, IP data, page context and browsing events passing to partners for delivery, measurement or personalization. Certain disclosures can legally constitute sale, sharing or targeted advertising. An affiliate referral may transmit information for attribution and commissions to a network or merchant. Embedded media may communicate with its provider as it loads or is used.

Controls, recipients and retention

Cookies, pixels and similar methods can support preferences, measurement and commercial features. Browser restriction or deletion provides some control, but may impair functionality and does not cover every collection method. Global Privacy Control is different from Do Not Track. Ask about available controls and applicable requirements for recognized preference signals. Mere access to the site does not consent to all optional marketing or tracking activities.

Information may reach providers supporting hosting, security, messages, forms and enabled features. Some third parties use it independently under their own notices. Linked destinations are separately operated. Legal compliance, protection of rights or safety, investigation of misuse or a business transfer can also require disclosure, with applicable safeguards and notice duties.

Storage lasts as reasonably required for the relevant purpose: correspondence and follow-up, subscriptions, remembered opt-outs or operational security. Legal duties or disputes may require retention beyond those immediate needs. Internet transmission and storage are not guaranteed completely secure; avoid unnecessary sensitive information and credentials.

Rights, audience and changes

Available rights depend on residence and laws applicable to the operator. They may include access, correction, deletion, portability, restrictions on sensitive uses and opt-outs for sale, sharing or targeted ads. Submit requests to [email protected]. Proportionate checks may protect access or alteration of records, while unnecessary identity verification must not obstruct sale or sharing opt-outs. Required agents and appeals are accommodated, subject to lawful exceptions and no unlawful discrimination for protected requests.

The intended audience is adults, not children younger than 13. Their personal data is not knowingly collected. Tell the operator about suspected collection so investigation and appropriate deletion can follow. Changes to this notice will be published here, with additional notice or consent where legally necessary.
