Privacy Policy: Protecting Your Personal Information

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 18, 2025

The Resistance Hub is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how your personal information is handled. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, the rights available to you under applicable laws, and how you can contact us with questions.

Who We Are

The Resistance Hub provides situational awareness and resource aggregation to keep readers informed and prepared in dynamic and uncertain landscapes. We publish news, analysis, academic references, and literature on irregular warfare and resilience.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you leave comments on the website, we collect the information that you enter into the comments form along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect spam and abuse. If you use the Gravatar service, your email address is anonymized into a hash and compared against the Gravatar database. Once your comment is approved, your profile image may appear alongside your comment.

If you register for an account on our website, we collect the information you submit during registration. This information is stored in your profile and may be visible to site administrators.

If you contact us through forms, we collect the details you provide, including your name, email address, and the content of your message.

If you upload images to the site, you should be aware that embedded location data (EXIF GPS) can be extracted by visitors who download those images. We encourage you to remove such data before uploading.

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical details. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the site that referred you to us. We also use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with the site and to improve performance. If advertising services such as Google AdSense are active, advertising identifiers may also be collected to help deliver relevant ads and measure performance.

Cookies

We use cookies to make your experience smoother and more personalized. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser that allow us to recognize returning visitors, save your login preferences, and retain certain choices you make about how the site looks and functions.

Cookies also help us analyze traffic patterns and measure site performance through tools like Google Analytics. In addition, advertising and affiliate programs such as Google AdSense or Amazon Associates may set cookies to personalize ads or track clicks.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, although this may affect some site functionality. In regions where required by law, we display a cookie consent banner that gives you the choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

See our EU Cookie Policy for specifics for that region.

Embedded Content and Third Parties

Some articles on our website contain embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, or social media posts. When this content loads, it behaves exactly as if you visited those third-party websites directly. This means that those services may collect information about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.

We also participate in advertising and affiliate programs, including Google AdSense and Amazon Associates. These partners may collect data through cookies or pixels in order to deliver targeted advertisements or track affiliate link performance. You can review their privacy policies here:

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used to ensure that the website functions properly, to improve the quality and relevance of the content we provide, and to keep the site secure. For example, we use data to detect and block spam, to monitor traffic and engagement with our articles, and to analyze how our readers find and use the site.

We also use data for advertising purposes, which allows us to serve ads that may be more relevant to your interests. In some cases, we may process information to comply with legal obligations, such as retaining records for accounting or regulatory purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

To keep the site running and secure, we rely on several trusted service providers. Security is supported by Wordfence, which provides firewall and malware protection. Our hosting and content delivery are managed through Hostinger and LiteSpeed Cache.

For advertising and affiliate monetization, we share certain technical data with partners such as Google AdSense and Amazon Associates. Analytics services, including Google Analytics, are used to help us understand visitor behavior. If we use email or communication tools in the future, those services may also process your data.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as necessary. Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and automatically approved. User accounts, where applicable, are maintained until the user chooses to delete the account. Analytics data may be kept for a set period, usually up to 26 months. Records needed for legal or administrative purposes may be retained for longer periods as required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have specific rights over your personal information.

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You may also request a copy of the data we hold about you and have the right to restrict or object to how your information is processed.

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide you with the right to know what data we collect, the right to request deletion of your data, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To exercise this right, you may use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, accessible via the footer of this site.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@theresistancehub.com.

Data Transfers

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, please note that your personal information may be transferred to servers located outside of your home country, including the United States. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards approved by regulators to ensure that such transfers are lawful and your rights remain protected.

Data Security

We take data protection seriously and implement measures to safeguard your information. This includes encrypting data transmitted between your device and our server using SSL/TLS, employing firewall and malware scanning through Wordfence, restricting access to administrative accounts, and maintaining regular updates and backups.

Although we take these precautions, no method of data transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be scanned automatically by services that detect spam or abusive behavior, such as Akismet or Wordfence. Analytics and advertising data may be processed by Google, which stores and handles this information on servers in the United States and other global locations.

Children’s Privacy

The Resistance Hub does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through our website, please contact us immediately so that we can remove the information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new legal requirements, business practices, or service integrations. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
