Section One – Who We Are and How to Contact Us
This Policy is published by Immersion Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that operates the Channels. We are the controller of the personal data described in this Policy.

This Policy explains what personal data we gather, why we gather it, with whom we share it, and what choices you have. It applies to individuals who interact with our website at https://dailywashingtoninsider.com, our email publications, and any other digital channel we operate (together, the “Channels”), regardless of the source from which contact information is obtained.
We follow data-handling practices that meet applicable United States federal and the State of Delaware standards and, where independently required, international privacy requirements. Nothing in this Policy is intended to broaden the territorial scope of any privacy or data-protection statute beyond its legally mandated reach.
If you disagree with any part of this Policy, please stop using the Channels and use the opt-out options described in Section Five.
Section Two – Data We Gather and Where It Comes From
Directly from You
When you subscribe, fill in a form, or write to us, you may give us your name, email address, phone number, or other details voluntarily.
Through Technology
The Channels automatically record certain data when you visit or open an email, using cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, JavaScript tags, and – where active – browser-fingerprinting technology. This may include your IP address and approximate location, device type, browser version, and operating system, pages viewed, visit duration, and navigation path, referral URLs and search queries, cross-device recognition signals, and email-interaction data (opens, clicks, forwards) captured by embedded pixel tags.
From Outside Sources
We add to what we collect firsthand by obtaining data from third parties. These may include:
- commercial data vendors and list providers that sell or license contact records (email addresses, names, demographic details);
- joint-registration services and audience-development platforms;
- publicly available directories and databases; and
- advertising-technology and analytics partners.
Every outside source we work with must contractually affirm that the data it supplies was collected in compliance with applicable law and that sharing it with us for the purposes of this Policy is permitted. While we do not independently replicate the original collection process of each data provider, we implement a risk-based vendor diligence program, including contractual protections, qualification reviews, and suppression matching, designed to promote responsible data sourcing.
Data We Do Not Seek Out
We have no intention of collecting sensitive personal data such as government ID numbers, exact GPS coordinates, financial-account passwords, health records, or biometric data. If you send us such data without being asked, we will use it only to the minimum extent needed to respond to you or to meet a legal obligation.
Section Three – What We Do with Your Data and Our Legal Grounds
We use personal data to run and improve the Channels, send editorial newsletters, market commentary, promotional offers, and third-party advertisements by email, analyze audience engagement and campaign performance, detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized access, measure advertising impressions, clicks, and conversions for billing and compensation purposes, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, enforce our Terms & Conditions, and respond to inquiries and support requests.
Where European data-protection law applies (the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection), our processing rests on three grounds. First, Consent: your affirmative agreement to receive marketing emails or to the use of non-essential tracking tools. Consent is our primary ground for direct marketing, including situations where your contact details came from an outside source. Second, Legitimate Interests: processing that serves our commercial needs – such as analytics, fraud prevention, and security – provided those needs do not override your rights. In conducting this assessment, we considered the limited categories of data involved — primarily technical identifiers and engagement signals rather than sensitive personal information — and weighed these against the operational necessity of analytics and security functions. We concluded that the risks to data subjects are modest relative to the legitimate commercial need, and are further mitigated by the unsubscribe and opt-out mechanisms available at any time. Third, Legal Obligation: processing mandated by statute or regulation.
If we obtained your contact details from an outside source and you are in a jurisdiction that requires prior consent for direct marketing (including the EEA and the UK), we rely on that source’s assurance that consent was obtained before the data was passed to us. You may withdraw consent at any time through the mechanisms in Section Five; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before you withdrew.
Section Four – How We Earn Revenue
The Channels are supported in part through advertising relationships and affiliate arrangements. When products or services are featured in or linked from our publications or emails, we may earn a fee from the advertiser, affiliate network, or sponsor behind them. These fees can be structured as a fixed payment, a per-click or per-conversion commission, a share of revenue, or a blend of several models. The companies that pay us operate in a variety of sectors – providers of subscription-based financial research services, tax planning tools, retirement and estate planning platforms, business accounting software, and professional certification programs, among others.
We want to be upfront: compensation arrangements can shape what we feature, where we place it, and how we talk about it. That said, an affiliate link or ad appearing in the Channels is not our endorsement or guarantee of the product behind it. We do not evaluate whether any product or service is right for you personally, and we make no promises about quality, safety, legality, or suitability. Always do your own research before making a financial decision based on anything you see in our content.
Section Five – Our Email Program
Email communications constitute a core operational component of the Channels. Where permitted by applicable law, and subject to applicable opt-out rights, individuals whose email addresses enter our authorized marketing datasets — whether provided directly or obtained from vetted third-party sources — may receive commercial messages from us, including messages featuring third-party offers and sponsored content.
How often we send messages varies with editorial schedules, promotional activity, and reader-engagement patterns.
Every commercial message we send complies with the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.). Each message truthfully identifies who sent it, includes a valid postal address, offers a clear unsubscribe option, avoids misleading subject lines or headers, and results in suppression of the opt-out address within ten (10) business days (or sooner if required by law). We maintain internal compliance procedures to monitor sending practices, process opt-out requests promptly, and reduce the risk of unauthorized or non-compliant email activity.
To stop receiving marketing emails, click the “unsubscribe” link in any message or email us at info@dailywashingtoninsider.com. After you opt out, you may still receive non-commercial messages (such as transactional or relationship communications) that fall outside the CAN-SPAM Act.
We work with several third-party email-delivery providers, each operating under a contract that limits them to processing your data solely for sending our messages according to our instructions. We may switch providers at any time without notice.
Section Six – Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking
Our Channels make use of first- and third-party tracking tools, including cookies, pixel tags, clear GIFs, and JavaScript instrumentation for session management and core functionality, usage measurement and audience analytics, advertising attribution and conversion tracking, audience segmentation and behavioral modeling, and cross-site or cross-device recognition (where active).
Pixels embedded in emails let us see whether a message was opened, when, on what device, and which links were clicked. Data captured includes your IP address, email-client information, and timestamps.
Some tracking tools are operated by third-party advertising and analytics vendors. Because these vendors operate their own data-collection infrastructure under separate privacy frameworks, Immersion Technologies LLC does not control the independent data practices of such third-party vendors. You should consult each vendor’s privacy documentation directly if you have questions about their practices.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though turning them off may impair some features. To block email pixels, set your email client to not load images automatically.
“Do Not Track” browser signals: The Channels do not modify data-collection behavior in response to browser-level Do Not Track instructions. This reflects the current absence of any technically standardized or legally mandated protocol for interpreting such signals – not a deliberate disregard for user preference. Should a recognized standard be formally adopted, we will revisit our implementation.
Section Seven – With Whom We Share Your Data
We share your data only where doing so serves the purposes described in this Policy. Here is who may receive it and why:
Our affiliates. Parent, subsidiary, or related companies may use shared data for collaborative marketing, cross-platform content delivery, promotion of financial products and related services, and routine administration. They follow the same privacy rules we do.
Email senders. We contract with third-party delivery services to transmit our emails. Each one operates under strict instructions to use your data for message delivery only.
Tech and hosting partners. The companies that keep the Channels running — web hosts, CDNs, security vendors, and similar infrastructure providers.
Analytics tools. Platforms that help us understand how audiences interact with our content and how campaigns perform.
Advertisers and affiliates. We share technical signals — such as device identifiers, IP addresses, and click data — with ad partners, affiliate networks, and sponsors so that clicks, conversions, and commissions can be tracked accurately.
Government and law enforcement. We disclose data when legally compelled — for example, by court order, subpoena, or regulatory demand — or where necessary to protect the safety or legal rights of the Channels, our readers, or the public.
Outside professionals. Lawyers, accountants, and auditors we engage for business-related services.
Future owners. If the business changes hands through a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may transfer to the new entity.
We do not hand personal data to outside organizations for their own marketing purposes beyond what this Policy describes. Be aware, though, that disclosures to advertisers and affiliates for attribution and conversion tracking may fall within the CCPA’s definitions of “sale” or “sharing.” The data categories potentially involved are Identifiers (device IDs, IP addresses), Internet activity (clicks, browsing, email interactions), and Geolocation (IP-derived location). Your opt-out options are in Section Eight.
Section Eight – Your Privacy Rights
California (CCPA / CPRA)
The following applies if you are a California resident as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together, the “CCPA”).
What data we have collected. In the past twelve months we may have collected, disclosed for a business purpose, or sold/shared these types of personal information:
- Identifiers – name, email, IP address, device identifiers
- Internet activity – browsing history, search queries, interaction data, email engagement
- Geolocation – approximate location from IP
- Commercial information – products or services considered, purchasing tendencies
- Inferences – preferences, behavioral profiles
Where the data came from. We collect personal information directly from you, automatically through cookies and similar tools, and from external providers such as list aggregators, joint-registration services, audience-development platforms, and advertising partners.
What you can do. Subject to legal exceptions, you may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold and how we use it, give you a copy, delete it, correct inaccuracies, or stop selling or sharing it. You may also ask us to limit how we use sensitive data (where applicable). You can exercise any of these rights without fear of discrimination or retaliation.
How to make a request. Email info@dailywashingtoninsider.com with the subject line “California Privacy Request.” We will confirm receipt within ten business days and aim to respond substantively within forty-five calendar days, with a possible forty-five-day extension upon notice. We may need to verify your identity. Authorized agents must present written authorization and proof of identity.
Opting out of sale/sharing. To opt out of any disclosure that qualifies as a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA, email info@dailywashingtoninsider.com or use any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the Channels. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals and other legally recognized universal opt-out preference signals where required by applicable law. Where we can reasonably determine a consumer’s state of residence, we will apply the opt-out accordingly.
Shine the Light. Under California Civil Code §1798.83, you may request information about disclosures to third parties for direct-marketing purposes by writing to info@dailywashingtoninsider.com.
Financial incentives. If we offer financial incentives as defined by the CCPA — such as free content or promotional benefits in exchange for subscribing or providing personal data — we will disclose the terms at the point of collection. Participation is optional and can be revoked anytime. The value of any incentive is reasonably related to the value of the personal data involved, based on a reasonable calculation of commercial value, and declining will not result in discriminatory treatment.
Nevada
Nevada residents may direct us not to sell covered information (as defined in NRS Chapter 603A) by emailing info@dailywashingtoninsider.com.
Other U.S. States
A growing number of states — among them Virginia, Connecticut, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Oregon, Montana, and Tennessee — now give their residents specific privacy rights over personal data. Other states, including New Hampshire, New Jersey, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Maryland, have passed or are considering similar protections. If you live in one of these states, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your data, request a copy in a portable format, or opt out of data sales and targeted advertising. We respect these rights in accordance with each applicable law. Send your request to info@dailywashingtoninsider.com.
Appeals (Certain U.S. States). If we decline to take action on your request, we will provide a reason and instructions on how to appeal. To submit an appeal, email info@dailywashingtoninsider.com with the subject line “Privacy Appeal” and include the original request and our response. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. If you are a Delaware resident and your appeal is denied, we will also provide information on how to contact the Delaware Department of Justice to submit a complaint.
European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or Swiss data-protection law applies, you may have the right to access your data, correct inaccuracies, request erasure, restrict processing, receive your data in a portable format, object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
Send rights requests to info@dailywashingtoninsider.com. We will respond within the legally required period (generally one month, subject to extension). You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Canada
To the extent PIPEDA or applicable provincial privacy legislation governs, Canadian residents may access, correct, and withdraw consent regarding their personal data, subject to legal and contractual limits. Under the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), commercial electronic messages reaching Canadian recipients may be subject to further rules regarding consent and content. Contact info@dailywashingtoninsider.com for inquiries or to exercise your rights.
Section Nine – Data Retention, Security, and Breach Response
Retention
We keep personal data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Factors we weigh include the type and sensitivity of the data, statutory and regulatory obligations, litigation and dispute-resolution needs, and fraud-prevention requirements.
Following an unsubscribe request, your email address is placed in a dedicated suppression file that prevents it from being reintroduced into active sending lists. This record is maintained on a rolling basis, without a fixed expiration date, to ensure that our sending systems continue to honor your preference even as mailing lists are refreshed or augmented over time.
Security / Breach Response
We take the security of your data seriously and apply safeguards that reflect the sensitivity of the information we handle. These currently include encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL), restrictions that limit data access to personnel who need it, authentication controls, and regular reviews of our security posture.
That said, no system connected to the Internet is entirely immune to intrusion. No security framework can provide an absolute assurance of protection, and we do not make that guarantee. Data you transmit to us travels across public networks that we do not control, and you acknowledge this risk. We are not responsible for unauthorized access or data loss caused by factors outside our reasonable control.
If a security incident involving your data triggers a legal obligation to notify, we will inform affected individuals and the relevant authorities within the deadlines and by the methods applicable law requires.
Section Ten – Age Restriction
The Channels are meant solely for people aged eighteen (18) or older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under thirteen (13) as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506. If we learn that a child’s data has entered our systems, we will delete it promptly. Please notify us at info@dailywashingtoninsider.com if you believe a child under 13 has submitted data to us.
Section Eleven – International Transfers
The Channels operate from the United States. If you access them from outside the United States, your data will be transferred to and stored in the United States and potentially in other countries where we, our affiliates, or our service providers have facilities. Privacy protections in those countries may differ from – and may be less comprehensive than – those where you live. By using the Channels you consent to these transfers.
Where the GDPR or other international data-protection frameworks require specific safeguards for cross-border transfers, we will put appropriate mechanisms in place as the law demands, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses or other recognized instruments.
Section Twelve – Machine-Learning Assisted Publishing
Immersion Technologies LLC incorporates automated writing-assistance tools, including AI-based drafting systems, as part of its editorial production process. These tools accelerate content creation and assist with formatting, summarization, and structural editing.
All content undergoes review by a member of our editorial staff before distribution. However, automated tools may produce statements that are incomplete, factually imprecise, or no longer current. Readers are encouraged to treat our content as a starting point for independent research rather than a definitive source.
We do not use our content systems to make individualized determinations about users – whether financial, legal, or otherwise – and no content distributed through the Channels should be read as constituting such a determination.
Section Thirteen – Accessibility, Regulatory Scope, and Updates
Accessibility
We aim to make the Channels and this Policy available to individuals with disabilities in line with the Americans with Disabilities Act and applicable accessibility standards. If you encounter barriers, please contact info@dailywashingtoninsider.com.
Regulatory Scope
We are a U.S.-based company and this Policy is governed by U.S. law. Some sections mention privacy rules from other countries – we include them only because those rules may apply to parts of what we do, not because we are volunteering to be regulated by foreign authorities. If a particular law does not independently cover our operations, the corresponding section of this Policy does not apply.
Updates
We may revise this Policy at any time, without prior notice, at our discretion. Revisions take effect when we post the updated text with a new “Date of Last Revision.” Continued use of the Channels after a revision means you accept the changes. Where governing law mandates notice of material changes, we will provide it through the Channels or by other appropriate means.
