This page describes what racistnation.us collects and why. We run a news and membership product about racism as a subject of coverage. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use third-party advertising trackers on this site.
When you sign in we set a first-party session cookie (rn_session). It is HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax, and it is used only to keep you signed in. We do not use third-party ad cookies. Signing out clears the session.
We use first-party Umami analytics served from our own domain (/u.js and related collect endpoints). It helps us understand aggregate traffic. We do not sell analytics data. Session replay / heatmap recording (/recorder.js) is disabled until we ship a clearer consent control.
Paid memberships are billed through Stripe. Card numbers are handled by Stripe, not stored on our servers. Stripe’s privacy terms apply to payment processing. We receive enough information to grant, change, or cancel your plan.
Eligible members may continue archived story threads on Stoat (stoat.racistnation.us). That service has its own account and session handling for chat. Use it only if you choose to open a channel from a story page.
We may disclose information if required by law, to protect people from serious harm, or to investigate abuse of the service (for example malware links or account takeover).
Account and membership records last while your account exists. Comments remain with the story unless removed for abuse or legal reasons. Security logs and blocks are kept as long as needed for abuse prevention. You can ask us to close an account via support@racistnation.us; some records may be retained where we must (billing, abuse, legal holds).
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If this policy changes in a material way, we will update this page and the effective date. Continued use of the site after an update means you have seen the new version.
