Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 9, 2026

CitiSighs ("CitiSighs," "we," "us," or "our") publishes trade, economy and financial insight connecting the Global South and Global North. This policy explains what information we collect through citisighs.ca, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are based in Toronto, Canada, and this policy is written with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in mind.

Information we collect

We collect information in a few limited ways:

  • Newsletter sign-up: if you subscribe to our daily brief, we collect the email address you provide.
  • Contact: if you email us (including via the address listed on our Contact page), we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message.
  • Analytics: we use Vercel Analytics to understand aggregate traffic to the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device type). Vercel Analytics is designed to operate without cookies and without tracking individual visitors across sites.

We do not require account creation to read CitiSighs, and we do not collect payment information — the site is free to read.

How we use your information

  • To send the newsletter you signed up for, and nothing else, to that email address.
  • To respond to messages sent to us directly.
  • To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used, so we can improve it.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your email address with advertisers.

Third-party services

Running CitiSighs means relying on a small number of third-party services, each of which processes data under its own privacy policy:

  • Sanity — our content management system, which stores the articles and pages you read.
  • Vercel — our hosting provider, and the source of the analytics described above.
  • Resend — the service we use to send the newsletter, if and when you subscribe to it. Resend processes the email address you provide for that specific purpose.
  • TradingView — our homepage and Markets page embed TradingView's live market-data ticker. That embed is served directly by TradingView and is subject to TradingView's own privacy policy and terms; we do not control what data it collects.
  • YouTube — our "Podcast" link takes you to our YouTube channel. Once there, you are subject to YouTube/Google's privacy policy, not ours.

Cookies

CitiSighs itself does not set tracking or advertising cookies. Third-party embeds on the site (currently the TradingView ticker) may set their own cookies or local storage under their own policies, independent of us.

Data retention

We keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email, or by contacting us directly — see below.

Your rights

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us at the email address below. We will respond within a reasonable time.

Children's privacy

CitiSighs is a general-audience news publication and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or our practices change. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
