Privacy Policy - Silver Screen Riot

Last updated: October 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Silver Screen Riot (silverscreenriot.com, “we,” “us,” or “the Site”) collects from visitors, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. If you leave a comment, sign up for our newsletter, or contact us through a form, we collect what you submit, such as your name, email address, and message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information, including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. This is collected through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate and improve the Site, understand how readers use it, display advertising, send newsletters you have requested, respond to messages, and protect the Site against spam and security threats.

Advertising

The Site uses Mediavine (including its Journey by Mediavine program) to manage third-party display advertising. Mediavine and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, such as your IP address, browser and device information, and pages viewed, in order to serve ads, measure their performance, and show ads that may be relevant to your interests.

You can learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out of it through the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org), the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info), and, in the EU, youronlinechoices.eu. Opting out does not remove ads; it means the ads you see will be less tailored to you. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting advertising cookies.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each of which processes information under its own privacy policy:

Google Analytics (via MonsterInsights) to measure traffic and how readers use the Site. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Jetpack (Automattic) for site statistics, security, and performance.
Disqus for comments. Comments you post are handled by Disqus and are visible to the public.
Akismet (Automattic) to filter comment spam.
Substack for our newsletter. If you subscribe, your email address is held by Substack.
Mediavine Grow for site features and advertising management.
Social sharing buttons that may connect to platforms such as X, Facebook, and others when used.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our partners use them for site functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not work properly as a result.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or its use for targeted advertising, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California and other U.S. states with consumer privacy laws, and visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, may exercise these rights by contacting us using the information below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data Retention and Security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, and we use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
