Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 19, 2026

At Striding Tech ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible from https://stridingtech.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by Striding Tech and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization and only collect information necessary to deliver and improve our real-time technology journalism, aggregator services, newsletter dispatch, and user experience:

Log Files & Technical Data: Like most standard website servers, Striding Tech utilizes log files. The information inside these files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and platform type. This data is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather demographic information for aggregate use. None of this data is linked to personally identifiable information.
Newsletter Subscriptions: If you voluntarily subscribe to the Striding Tech Intelligence Wire newsletter, we collect and store your email address solely for delivering periodic technology digests, intelligence, and primary research analysis. Subscriptions require double opt-in email verification to ensure validity. We never sell, rent, or trade your email address to third parties or advertisers. Every newsletter includes a simple one-click unsubscribe mechanism.
Contact Form Communications: If you contact us directly via our Contact page, we may receive your name, email address, message contents, and any attachments you choose to send. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiries and do not use it for marketing or sell it to third parties.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

Striding Tech uses cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages the user accesses or visits, and to customize web page content based on visitors' browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

Google is one of our third-party advertising partners. Google uses cookies, known as DoubleClick DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to stridingtech.com and other sites on the internet.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in the advertisements and links that appear on Striding Tech. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see.
Striding Tech has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
Opt-Out Options: Visitors may choose to opt out of the use of the DART cookie and personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy or through the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice page.

4. Web Analytics

We use standard web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to monitor and analyze traffic on our website. These services use cookies to help analyze how users interact with the site. The information generated is transmitted to and stored by analytics providers to compile statistical reports on website activity.

5. Editorial & AI Content Disclosure

Striding Tech utilizes modern Artificial Intelligence technologies to assist our editorial workflow, including real-time news aggregation, automated research drafting, and news brief synthesis from reputable global tech desks. All published content and intelligence briefs are curated for informational and journalistic purposes. We do not sell or monetize personal visitor data.

6. External Links to Third-Party Sources

Our real-time news aggregator and editorial articles contain links to external publisher websites (such as Wired, The Verge, Ars Technica, BBC, NYT, TechCrunch, and CNBC). Please be aware that Striding Tech is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such external sites. We encourage our readers to read the privacy policies of any linked websites they visit.

7. Newsletter & Direct Email Communications

When you subscribe to our newsletter:

Your email address is securely stored in our encrypted database with timestamp and token records.
We adhere to strict anti-spam guidelines (CAN-SPAM Act & GDPR compliant).
You can unsubscribe instantly at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link located in the footer of every email dispatch.
Upon unsubscription, your address is deactivated from all outbound distribution lists.

8. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific data protection rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

9. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Striding Tech does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will use our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

10. Security of Your Information

We employ commercial-grade administrative, technical, and physical security measures (including SSL/TLS encryption across all web traffic) to help protect your personal information.
