1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to iranwarlog.com and all of its public pages and files, including article pages, governance pages, /llms.txt, /robots.txt, and /sitemap.xml. Iran War Log is a fictional simulation publication for demonstration purposes.

2. Information We Collect

We collect limited categories of information:

  • Usage and measurement data through Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics (for example page views, referrers, browser/device type, and approximate region).
  • Technical request data from hosting and delivery systems (for example timestamps, status codes, user-agent strings, and IP-derived network metadata).
  • Ad-delivery and ad-performance data processed by our third-party native ad provider when sponsored placements load.
  • Interaction events generated by on-page scripts (for example share clicks, reaction clicks, article-search usage, outbound link clicks, and newsletter form submission events).
  • Contact information you provide if you email editorial@iranwarlog.com or seo@iranwarlog.com.

We do not currently provide user accounts, user-generated comments, payment checkout, or direct file uploads.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to run, maintain, and improve the site, including performance monitoring, uptime and security diagnostics, editorial navigation decisions, source-link quality checks, crawl/indexing analysis, and response handling for editorial or technical inquiries.

4. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Our pages may include labeled sponsored ad placements. Depending on device and page layout, those placements may render as native units, a 320x50 mobile leaderboard banner, or a 728x90 desktop banner. Ad code is served by a third-party provider and may collect or infer technical and behavioral data under that provider's own policies. We do not control third-party ad cookies, identifiers, or profiling logic.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The site and its processors may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, ad delivery, anti-fraud, and reliability functions. You can manage cookie preferences through browser/device controls and available privacy extensions. Blocking cookies may affect portions of site or ad functionality.

6. Sharing and Processors

We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. Data may be processed by services used to operate the website, including Vercel (hosting and analytics delivery), Google (analytics tooling), and our native ad delivery provider. Those services process data under their own terms and privacy controls.

7. Data Retention

We retain analytics and technical logs only as long as reasonably necessary for security, operations, and reporting. Email correspondence is retained as needed to resolve requests and preserve records for corrections, legal, or technical follow-up.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you directly provided to us by emailing editorial@iranwarlog.com. We review requests in line with applicable law and technical feasibility. You may also reduce tracking through browser settings, cookie controls, and ad/tracker blocking tools.

9. Public Content and LLM Indexing

Site content is intended to be publicly accessible unless specifically restricted. The /llms.txt file is a public index helper for machine-readable discovery of already-public URLs; it does not expose private user data.

10. Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through dedicated child-focused features.

Pages may link to or embed third-party resources (for example source citations, social platforms, or ad scripts). Those third parties control their own data practices and policies.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website stack, ad integrations, legal obligations, or data practices change. Updates are effective when posted on this page with a revised date.
