Privacy Policy
Last updated August 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how IVANI Media (“IVANI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in connection with the IVANI website, waitlist, membership services, digital editorial products, and related communications. By using our services, you acknowledge the practices described here.
1. Who We Are
IVANI is a digital editorial publication and private membership offering curated journalism, archives, and related cultural resources. Paid memberships and quarterly print magazine fulfillment are contemplated as part of our commercial offering.
Controller / operator: [Legal entity name — to be confirmed]. Correspondence regarding privacy may be sent to Info@ivanimedia.com. Business address: [Principal business address — to be confirmed].
Note — This document is a production-ready template prepared for attorney review before public launch. Bracketed fields must be completed with final company, jurisdiction, and operational details.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories, depending on how you interact with IVANI.
- Account and identity information: name, email address, password (stored in hashed form when accounts are enabled), and profile preferences.
- Waitlist and correspondence: information you submit through waitlist forms, contact forms, or email to our desk.
- Membership and billing details: membership tier, subscription status, renewal dates, and transaction history. Payment card data is processed by third-party payment processors; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Shipping information: delivery name, address, and related details when print magazine fulfillment is offered.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, device and browser type, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring URLs, and interaction events necessary to operate and secure the service.
- Communications metadata: records of emails or notices we send related to membership, editorial updates, or service announcements.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- Operate the website, waitlist, member access, digital archive, and related editorial services.
- Create and administer memberships, process payments through payment processors, and manage renewals or cancellations.
- Fulfill print magazine subscriptions and related physical deliveries when those products are offered.
- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
- Send service-related notices (for example, access confirmations, billing receipts, shipping updates, and material changes to terms).
- Send editorial or marketing correspondence where permitted by law and, where required, your consent. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
- Monitor performance, prevent fraud and abuse, maintain security, and improve the quality of our publication and membership experience.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. These may include essential cookies required for security and core functionality, preference cookies, and analytics cookies that help us understand aggregated traffic patterns. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings and, where implemented, our cookie preference controls.
5. Payment Processing
When paid memberships or print subscriptions are enabled, payments will be processed by reputable third-party payment processors. Those processors collect and process payment information under their own privacy policies. IVANI receives limited billing confirmation data (such as payment status, last four digits where provided, and transaction identifiers) necessary to administer your membership.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who assist with hosting, email delivery, analytics, customer support, membership management, payment processing, and print fulfillment or shipping.
- Professional advisors (legal, accounting) under confidentiality obligations when reasonably necessary.
- Authorities or other parties when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of IVANI, our members, or the public.
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and continued protection of personal information.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and tax records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. Waitlist information is retained until you request deletion or until we determine it is no longer needed for launch communications. Membership and transaction records are retained for the duration of the membership relationship and for a commercially reasonable period thereafter as required for accounting, audit, and legal purposes.
8. Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction on the processing of your personal information; to object to certain processing; and to receive a portable copy of information you provided. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise available rights, contact Info@ivanimedia.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. You may also opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages. Essential service communications related to your membership may still be sent.
Note — Jurisdiction-specific privacy rights (for example, under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or other applicable laws) should be confirmed and, if required, expanded by counsel before launch in those markets.
10. International Transfers
IVANI may process and store information in countries other than the country in which you reside. Where required by law, we will implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
Note — Transfer mechanisms (such as standard contractual clauses) should be confirmed once hosting and vendor locations are finalized.
11. Children’s Privacy
IVANI is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, communicated by email or through the member account experience. Continued use of the services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy, except where additional consent is required by law.
