Privacy Policy

Kanona Projects is an independent content publication operated by Kani Sedighi, focused on the Experiential Events & Atmosphere space. This policy covers all information collected through this website and our newsletter. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently.

We do not sell personal information. We do not operate a data brokerage. We do not share your data with advertisers directly. Everything described below exists solely to operate this publication.

Information you provide: When you subscribe to our newsletter, you provide an email address. That address is stored in our email service provider (Brevo) and used only to send the newsletter you requested. We do not require names, phone numbers, or payment details to access content on this site.

Automatically collected information: Standard web server logs record IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. We analyze this data in aggregate to understand traffic - we do not use it to build profiles of individual visitors.

Third-party behavioral data: This site uses Google Analytics and Meta Pixel. These tools may collect content consumption patterns and topic interests as behavioral signals to help us understand which content is most useful. See Section 5 for opt-out options.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

• Delivering the newsletter you subscribed to, including occasional updates about new content
• Analyzing aggregate site traffic to improve the quality and relevance of content we publish
• Understanding reader interests to guide future publishing decisions within the Experiential Events & Atmosphere topic area
• Measuring the performance of any advertising we run on platforms like Facebook or Instagram

We do not use your information for automated profiling, targeted advertising sold to third parties, or any commercial purpose beyond operating this publication. Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.

We share data only with the service providers necessary to operate this site:

• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) - track page views and session patterns in aggregate
• Advertising measurement cookies (Meta Pixel) - measure ad effectiveness
• No first-party session cookies or tracking cookies are set by this site directly

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to control cookie behavior at a granular level. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to read content on this site.

Newsletter subscriber email addresses are retained for as long as you remain subscribed. Upon unsubscribing, your email is removed from the active list and deleted from Brevo within 30 days. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days. Anonymized aggregate analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be traced back to any individual.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited personal data we collect. This includes using HTTPS on all pages, relying on reputable service providers with their own security programs, and limiting access to subscriber data to the site operator only. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
