Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 21, 2026

Metanexus (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates metanexus.net.
Contact: info (at) metanexus.net

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, view embedded media, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with us.

1) Who We Are and How to Reach Us

Metanexus operates this website at metanexus.net.

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about privacy or this policy, contact: info (at) metanexus.net.

2) What This Policy Covers

This policy applies to information collected through metanexus.net, including pages, forms, analytics, and embedded content. It does not control third-party websites or services that may be linked to or embedded within our site.

3) Information We Collect

Information You Provide Voluntarily

We collect information you choose to provide, including when you:

  • subscribe to our email list

  • fill out a form

  • email us

This may include your name, email address, organization, and any information you include in your message.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect technical and usage information, which may include:

  • IP address

  • device and browser type

  • operating system

  • pages viewed, time spent, navigation patterns

  • referring/exit pages and referral source

  • approximate location (city/region) inferred from IP

  • timestamps, diagnostic events, and security signals

This information is typically collected via server logs, analytics tools, security systems, and performance tooling.

4) Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Your Controls

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, SDKs, and local storage.

Why We Use Them

We (and certain service providers) use these technologies to:

  • operate and secure the website

  • measure and improve performance and content

  • enable embedded media and related functionality

  • reduce spam and fraud

Cookie Categories We Use

  1. Strictly Necessary (site operation, security, network management)

  2. Analytics (site measurement and improvement)

  3. Functional / Media (embedded media such as Vimeo)

  4. Email Measurement (open/click tracking in emails, where applicable)

How to Control Cookies

You can control cookies through:

  • our cookie preference tool (if available)

  • your browser settings (block/delete cookies)

  • vendor opt-out tools where available

Disabling cookies may cause some features to function poorly or not at all.

5) Consent for Non-Essential Cookies

Where required by law, we only place non-essential cookies and run non-essential tracking (including Analytics and many third-party media cookies) after you provide consent through our cookie banner/preferences tool. You can withdraw consent at any time.

We design cookie choices so that rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them.

6) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site (for example: which pages are visited, how visitors navigate, and how content performs). Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:

  • page and session interactions

  • approximate location derived from IP

  • device/browser information

  • referral source

  • cookie-based identifiers

We use this information primarily in aggregate to improve our site and content.

We configure Google tags to respect user choices through our consent mechanism (including Google Consent Mode where implemented).

7) Vimeo Embedded Video

Some pages include embedded videos hosted by Vimeo. Embedded content can behave similarly to visiting Vimeo directly. Vimeo may collect data and may use cookies or identifiers for player functionality and measurement depending on Vimeo’s implementation and your settings.

We do not control Vimeo’s data practices. Please review Vimeo’s privacy policy for details.

Where required by law, we do not load Vimeo embeds that place non-essential cookies until you consent, and we may use a click-to-play placeholder.

8) Email Signup and Email Communications

If you subscribe, we collect what you submit (typically your email address and, if provided, your name). We use this to send newsletters, announcements, and updates related to Metanexus.

We use a third-party email service provider to manage subscriptions and deliver email. That provider processes subscriber data on our behalf.

Email Engagement Measurement

Our emails may include:

  • tracking pixels (to estimate opens)

  • tracked links (to measure clicks)

You can limit this by disabling automatic image loading, not clicking tracked links, or unsubscribing. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails or by contacting info (at) metanexus.net.

9) WordPress Features and User-Generated Content

Comments (If Enabled)

If we enable comments, we may collect:

  • the information you enter in the comment form

  • your IP address and browser user-agent string (commonly used to help detect spam)

Gravatar (If Enabled)

If Gravatar is enabled, an anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check whether you have a profile image.

Forms and Spam Protection

Forms may be protected by automated anti-spam and security systems. These systems may process IP address, device/browser details, and behavioral signals to reduce fraud and abuse.

10) Hosting, Logs, Security, and Performance Infrastructure

Our site relies on third-party hosting and infrastructure providers. These systems commonly process:

  • server access logs (including IP address and request metadata)

  • error logs

  • security logs (e.g., suspicious requests and bot patterns)

  • caching/CDN request logs for performance, reliability, and uptime

This processing supports core operations, stability, and security.

11) How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • operate, maintain, and secure the website

  • improve performance, design, and content

  • respond to inquiries

  • manage subscriptions and deliver communications

  • prevent spam, fraud, and misuse

  • comply with legal obligations

12) When We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information:

  • with service providers (hosting, analytics, email delivery, security) that process data on our behalf

  • to comply with legal obligations and lawful requests

  • to protect rights, safety, and site integrity (fraud prevention and incident response)

  • in connection with organizational changes (e.g., restructuring), consistent with applicable law

13) Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for legitimate purposes, including security, operational continuity, analytics trend analysis, and communication delivery.

  • Email subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe (and may be retained in suppression form to honor opt-outs).

  • Security and server logs are retained for a limited period consistent with operational and security needs.

Where feasible, we delete or anonymize data when no longer needed.

14) Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, and the ability to object to certain processing.

To make a request, contact info (at) metanexus.net.

Do Not Sell or Share and Global Privacy Control

Some US state laws provide rights to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (which can include certain targeted advertising contexts). We provide mechanisms to exercise applicable opt-out rights and aim to honor universal opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required.

15) International Visitors and Cross-Border Processing

If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ by location.

16) Children’s Privacy

This site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact info (at) metanexus.net.

17) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the Effective date above when changes are posted. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
