Privacy Policy

Forbidden News and Forbidden Knowledge TV publish independent journalism, commentary, and archived reporting. This site is designed to minimize data collection. We do not operate our own user account system for the public, do not sell visitor data, and do not intentionally run first-party tracking cookies for ordinary browsing.

This policy explains what limited information may still be processed when you visit the site, contact us, subscribe through third-party platforms, or interact with embedded media.

We do not ask ordinary readers to create an account to access public pages.

We do not knowingly sell, rent, or trade personal information.

We do not intentionally set our own marketing or behavioral advertising cookies on public visitors as part of the normal operation of the site.

The site may process limited technical request data needed to operate, secure, and understand the performance of the publication. This can include page paths, rough visit information, device or browser type, and standard server request metadata.

The analytics approach for this site is intended to be privacy-conscious and cookieless from the site’s own side. We do not use this information to build advertising profiles about readers.

Some pages may link to or embed third-party platforms such as Substack, YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble, Odysee, X, or other external video or publishing services. Those services may place cookies, collect device data, log IP addresses, or track interactions according to their own policies.

If you subscribe through Substack, play an embedded video, or otherwise interact with third-party content, your information may be processed directly by that third party. You should review the privacy policies of those providers before interacting with their tools.

If you contact Forbidden News by email or through another direct communication method, we will receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

We use that information only to review, respond to, or maintain relevant records of the communication unless a legal obligation requires otherwise.

If you subscribe, donate, or otherwise support the publication through third-party services, payment and subscription information is handled by those outside providers, not by this site directly.

We may receive limited confirmation information from those services, but the collection, storage, and processing of payment credentials or subscription platform data is governed by the third party you use.

This site is intended for a general audience interested in journalism, public affairs, technology, and media analysis. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children.

We may disclose information if required to comply with applicable law, legal process, lawful government request, or to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of Forbidden News, its readers, or the public.

You can avoid many third-party data practices by not using embedded media, by blocking third-party cookies in your browser, or by visiting external services only when you choose to do so.

If you have contacted us directly and want us to review or delete information you voluntarily sent us, you may request that by email, subject to legal, archival, security, or recordkeeping obligations.

Forbidden News is operated from Delaware, United States. By using the site, you understand that information may be processed in the United States and in any jurisdiction where relevant service providers operate.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or platform changes. The version posted on this page is the current version that applies to your use of the site.
