Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Beyond The Stage TV ("BTS TV", "we", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information you give us

We only collect personal information that you provide directly — for example, your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, or the message you send us through the contact form.

3. Information we collect automatically

We run our own first-party analytics. For each page view we record: the URL path, the referring domain, UTM source if present, your device category (mobile / desktop / tablet), and an anonymous visitor hash. The visitor hash is computed on our server from your IP address and browser, combined with a secret salt that we rotate every 24 hours. We never store your IP address, and because the salt rotates, the hash cannot be linked back to you or used to follow you across days.

Raw analytics events are retained for 90 days and then permanently deleted. Aggregated daily totals (page views per article, per division, per referrer) are retained indefinitely. We do not use Google Analytics or any advertising trackers.

4. How we use information

We use the information above to deliver the newsletter you've subscribed to, to operate and improve the site, to understand which stories resonate, and to respond to your enquiries. We do not sell your personal information.

5. Sharing

We share information only with the service providers we need to operate the site (for example, our email delivery and hosting providers), and where required by law.

6. Your rights and choices

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of each email. You can opt out of our analytics by clicking "Don't track me" in the footer; we also automatically honour your browser's Do Not Track setting. For any other privacy request, contact us via the contact page.
