Welcome to the Fine Print You Won’t Read
Hey there! This is the Privacy Policy for Zeihan on Geopolitics, LLC (aka “ZOG,” “us,” “our,” or “the people overthinking geopolitics so you don’t have to”). You’re here because you care about how we handle your Personal Data—or maybe you just got bored scrolling. Either way, we’re legally required to walk you through the boring stuff, so let’s dive in.
Why You Should Care About Privacy (and This Policy)
Online privacy means you get to decide what info you share and how it’s used. At ZOG, we promise not to be shady about it. We’ll tell you what we collect, why we need it, how we use it, and if we’re sharing it with anyone (spoiler alert: we don’t, unless the law or ninjas force us).
What Counts as Personal Data?
Personal Data includes anything that can identify you: your name, email, phone number, IP address, or even what you had for breakfast—kidding, we don’t want that level of detail. But seriously, it’s stuff you’d rather not see floating around the internet.
Here’s How We Collect Your Info:
- Automatically: Like every website ever, we use cookies and tech to track things like your IP address and geolocation. It’s mostly so the website works better, but also so we can feel like tech wizards.
- Forms You Fill Out: If you willingly share your name and email with us, congrats—you’re part of the data pile now. Don’t worry, we use it only to respond to you or send you useful updates, not spam.
- Direct Requests: If you buy stuff or request services, we’ll need your name, payment info, and other deets. Again, no shady business here.
Who Do We Share Your Data With?
- Trusted Third Parties: Think boring stuff like service providers or IT support—not your nosy neighbor.
- Law Enforcement: Only if they make us. No one’s hacking us to find your pizza preferences.
- When the Apocalypse Comes: Okay, not really, but if we sell the business or reorganize, your data might tag along.
Why Do We Process Your Data?
It boils down to three reasons:
- Contracts: We can’t deliver what you paid for without some basic info.
- Legal Stuff: If a government or court says jump, we ask, “How high?”
- Legit Interests: That’s lawyer-speak for “we need to keep this thing running.”
Cookies: The Internet’s Favorite Treat (But Not the Edible Kind)
Yes, we use cookies. No, they’re not evil. They make the site run smoother and let us gather analytics so we know what’s working (or what’s just meh).
For Our EU Friends:
We respect your data rights. Want us to delete, modify, or just confirm we have your info? Shoot us an email at [email protected].
Final Thoughts
We take your privacy seriously, even if we like to joke about it. Your data helps us provide better services and make smarter content—but if you want out, just say the word. And yes, if you’re wondering, we sleep just fine knowing all this.
Thanks for reading (or skimming), and welcome to the wild world of geopolitics!
