Effective date: October 28, 2026
The Iris Network (“we”, “us”) publishes technical analysis on cybersecurity, infrastructure, automation and network trends at theirisnetwork.org. This policy explains what information the site collects, why, and what happens to it. We have tried to keep it accurate rather than exhaustive: it describes only what this site actually does.
Information You Give Us
This site has no contact form, newsletter, comment system or user accounts, so there is nothing on the site where you type in personal information. The only way information reaches us is when you choose to write to us:
- Email. If you message [email protected] (the address listed on the contact page), we receive your email address, whatever name your email client attaches, and the content of your message. We use it only to read and reply to you. It is not shared with any third party.
Cookies
This site does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and it has no features that ask you to store your details in a cookie. Core WordPress may set short-lived technical cookies required for the site to function, and you can clear them in your browser at any point.
Analytics and Server Logs
We do not run any analytics tool on this site, and we do not profile or track individual readers. Like any website, our web server and Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the site, may process technical log data such as IP addresses, browser type and requested pages, for operating the service and defending against attacks.
Third-Party Services
A few pieces of infrastructure are provided by third parties, which means your browser talks to them when you load a page:
- Cloudflare sits in front of our servers as a content delivery network and security layer. Requests to the site pass through it, and Cloudflare processes IP addresses as part of routing and attack mitigation.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces used on this site. Loading them means your browser requests font files from Google’s servers, which necessarily exposes your IP address to Google.
Images and other media are hosted on our own infrastructure, not on third-party services.
How We Use Information
We use what we receive for one thing: reading and responding to emails you send us. We do not sell, rent or trade any personal information, we do not run advertising, and we do not build marketing profiles.
Retention and Your Choices
Emails are kept for as long as they are operationally useful, and deleted on request. To access, correct or delete any information connected to you, email [email protected] with a short note describing what you would like removed, and we will act on it within a reasonable time.
Children
This site publishes professional technical content and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children; if you believe a child has submitted information here, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
If our practices change — for example, if we add an analytics tool or a form — this page will be updated and the effective date above revised. Significant changes will be noted on the page itself.
Contact
Questions about this policy or about information we hold can be sent to [email protected], as listed on the contact page.
