Privacy Policy
Operational security and data handling protocols for JohnKettler.com.
Introduction
When you access the intelligence reports and geopolitical analysis on this site, you leave a digital footprint. I treat your privacy with the same operational security mindset applied to my investigations. This document outlines exactly what data is logged, how it functions, and where it goes.
We deal with sensitive, often suppressed information here—that requires trust between the researcher and the reader. Trust requires absolute transparency about your connection to this server. There is no corporate double-speak below. Just the facts regarding your data.
Information We Collect
The server automatically logs standard connection telemetry the moment you load a page. This includes your IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and the specific timestamps of your access. We use cookies to maintain session stability and remember your preferences across visits. You can read more about this specific mechanism in our Cookie Policy.
If you choose to leave a comment or communicate directly, the data entered in those forms is retained. This includes your provided name and email address.
Age Restrictions
This site deals with heavy, unfiltered realities regarding global events and the paranormal. It is strictly for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 years of age. If such data is discovered, it is purged immediately.
Third-Party Services
I do not operate this infrastructure in a vacuum. Keeping a site like this online requires vetted third-party vendors to handle hosting, routing, and defense against automated attacks. These providers process your IP address to filter out malicious bot traffic before it hits the main server.
I have maintained an ongoing partnership since 2019 with our current security vendor to ensure the integrity of the site architecture. They monitor traffic patterns to block distributed denial-of-service attempts. They do not have permission to sell your data, nor do they build advertising profiles based on your reading habits here.
How Data Is Used
Your data serves a strictly functional purpose. The primary use is threat mitigation. By monitoring IP access patterns, the system automatically blocks brute-force attacks and scraping bots trying to pull down the archives.
Secondarily, basic analytics tell me which Intel Reports or Exopolitics briefings are drawing the most attention. This dictates where I focus my investigative energy and resources. If a specific geopolitical breakdown is seeing heavy traffic, I know the audience requires deeper analysis on that front.
We never sell your email address. Your browsing habits are not packaged and auctioned to data brokers.
Your Privacy Rights
You retain control over your digital signature on this platform. You can disable cookies directly through your browser settings, though be aware this might break certain site functions or require you to log in repeatedly.
If you have subscribed to any alerts or left comments, you can request a full export of your personal data. You can also demand its complete deletion. Send a formal request through the Contact page. I will scrub your footprint from the active database.
Note that while we guarantee prompt deletion from active servers, routine encrypted backups may retain fragments of data for up to 30 days before being permanently overwritten by the system cycle.
Policy Updates
Digital landscapes shift rapidly. When new tracking technologies emerge or international privacy laws change, this protocol adapts. I will post any modifications directly to this page.
The parameters outlined here are effective immediately. Check back periodically to ensure you understand the current operational guidelines regarding your data.
