Privacy policy

Who we are

Firstread Media LLC is a publishing house and creative agency operating from the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit this website.

What we collect

This website does not ask you to create an account, fill in forms, or submit personal information, and we do not set our own cookies or run advertising trackers.

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records basic technical logs when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the time of the request. We use these logs only to keep the site running, secure, and fast.

Fonts and embedded services

The site loads its typefaces from Fontshare, a font delivery service operated by the Indian Type Foundry. When your browser fetches these fonts, Fontshare receives the technical details of that request, such as your IP address. No other third party services are embedded in the page.

Links to other platforms

Pages on this site link to our publications and profiles on Instagram and other platforms. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the platform you visit applies. We encourage you to review those policies separately.

How we use information

We use technical logs to operate and protect the website, understand aggregate traffic, and diagnose faults. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for profiling or automated decision making.

Retention

Technical logs are kept only for as long as needed for security and operations, then deleted or anonymised in line with our hosting provider's standard practices.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and the UK GDPR, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you. Because this site collects almost nothing, such requests will usually concern correspondence you have sent us directly.

Contact

For any privacy question or request, message us at @firstreadmedia on Instagram and we will respond as quickly as we can.

Changes to this policy

If our practices change, we will update this page and revise the date below. This policy was last updated on 10 July 2026.
