Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This page explains what information The Lookout collects and how we use it. We keep it to the minimum we need.

What we collect

• Your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter or write to us.
• Basic usage information, such as pages viewed and device type, if we use an analytics tool. We use it to understand which stories readers enjoy.

How we use it

We use your email only to send you The Lookout newsletter and to reply to your messages. We do not sell your personal information.

Services we use

We use trusted providers to run the site, such as hosting, database, email and analytics services. They handle data on our behalf under their own privacy terms. Your newsletter address is stored with our database provider.

Embedded content and links

Some articles include maps, Instagram posts or links to other sites. These services may collect information about you according to their own policies. If you prefer, you can avoid interacting with them.

Affiliate links

Some links are affiliate links. If you click one, the retailer may use cookies to record that you came from us. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Advertising

Some pages show advertisements, which are always labelled. Ads from brands we work with are simple images with links. If we use an advertising network such as Google AdSense, it may use cookies to show relevant ads. You can manage this in your browser settings or at adssettings.google.com.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email.
• Ask us to see, correct or delete your data by writing to hello@thelookout.in.

Children

The Lookout is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
