Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how 4-Freedom Podcast & Cigars (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit 4freedompodcast.com (the “Site”).
Information We Collect
We only collect information you choose to provide and basic technical data needed to run the Site:
- Newsletter sign-ups: the email address you submit to receive updates.
- Contact form: your name, email, and the message you send us.
- Usage data: privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics that is aggregated and anonymous — for example, which pages are viewed, referring pages, and coarse country and device type (via Vercel Web Analytics), along with first-party counts of on-site actions such as starting an episode, searching, and clicking through to our partners. This data sets no cookies and contains nothing that identifies you.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- respond to your questions, prayer requests, and inquiries;
- send podcast updates and announcements you have subscribed to;
- operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate the Site (for example, our hosting, analytics, and email providers), and only as needed to provide those services or when required by law.
Cookies & Analytics
Our public pages use cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics. We measure how the Site is used — through Vercel Web Analytics and our own first-party event logging — without cookies, without storing your IP address, and without any identifier that could track you across sessions or other websites. Because we set no analytics or advertising cookies, no cookie-consent banner is needed to browse the Site.
The only cookie we use is a strictly necessary sign-in cookie in the private administrator area; it is never set for ordinary visitors.
Third-Party Links
The Site links to third-party services such as podcast platforms and our cigar retail partner. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies separately.
Your Choices
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us. You may also request that we update or delete the information you have provided.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
