Who we are
Old Continent Liberty is an editorial project based in Portugal, operated by Fábio Fernandez. For questions about this policy, write to [email protected].
What we collect
- Newsletter — your email address, and (optionally) your name. Stored with our newsletter provider. Used only to send you the Weekly Dispatch and any paid-member editions you subscribe to.
- Shop orders — name, delivery address, email, and payment details. Payment is handled by our payment processor; we never store card numbers. Order data is kept for seven years for tax purposes, as required by Portuguese law.
- Analytics — aggregate, non-identifying visit data (page views, device type, country) via privacy-respecting analytics. No cross-site tracking. No advertising cookies. No session replay.
What we do not do
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone outside our essential service providers (newsletter, payment, shipping).
- We do not run behavioural advertising. There is no Meta Pixel, no Google Ads remarketing, no data broker integration.
- We do not build profiles of readers for resale.
