Privacy policy

What we collect

When you visit Namibian Business we record standard server logs (IP address, browser user-agent, referring URL, time of request). When you subscribe we additionally store the email address you give us, your subscription tier, and your billing relationship via our payment processor. When you submit a form (contact, corrections, errata) we store what you typed and the email you used to send it.

We use cookies for two purposes: (1) keeping you signed in if you are a subscriber and (2) measuring aggregate traffic so we can understand which articles are read. We do not run third-party advertising trackers.

What we don't collect

We do not buy reader data from data brokers, we do not enrich your email address against external profile databases, and we do not sell or rent reader data to anyone for any purpose.

Who we share it with

• Our payment processor (Stripe), only what is needed to bill you.
• Our email-sending vendor, only the address and the message we are sending.
• Our hosting and analytics providers, only what they need to keep the site running.
• Law-enforcement when properly compelled. We will tell you when we are legally allowed to.

Your choices

You can request a copy of the information we hold on you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us at our contact address and we will respond within 30 days. If you are in a jurisdiction (EU, UK, California, etc.) that grants additional statutory rights, we will honor them.

AI and automated processing

Our editorial system uses AI to research, synthesize, and draft articles. Reader-facing personal data (your email, your form submissions) is never fed into the editorial AI pipeline. The boundary is enforced at the data-store level — subscriber records and editorial corpora live in separate databases with no shared service account.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change. Material changes will be emailed to active subscribers at least 14 days before they take effect.
