Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Guyana Economic Monitor ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your personal data when you visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.


1. Information We Collect


Information you provide directly:

  • Email address, when you subscribe to our newsletter (processed via our email service provider, Beehiiv)

  • Any information you voluntarily submit, such as through contact forms or replies to our emails


Information collected automatically:

  • Usage data and analytics (e.g., pages visited, time on site, referral source, device/browser type) via Google Analytics

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4 below)

We do not collect payment information, as the Service is currently free of charge.


2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Deliver our newsletter and website content to subscribers

  • Understand how visitors use the Service, so we can improve content and site performance

  • Communicate with you about updates, new content, or changes to our policies

  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.


3. Third-Party Service Providers

We use the following third parties to operate the Service:

  • Beehiiv — for newsletter delivery, subscriber management, and email communications

  • Google Analytics — for website traffic and usage analytics

These providers process data on our behalf and have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review Beehiiv's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.


4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as those used by Google Analytics) to collect usage data and improve the Service. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Service.


5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you unsubscribe from our newsletter, we will stop sending communications, though some data may be retained as required by law or as necessary for legitimate business purposes.


6. Your Privacy Rights

For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA/GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data

  • Object to or restrict our processing of your data

  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., by unsubscribing)

  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Our legal basis for processing your data includes your consent (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter) and our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Service.


For California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose

  • Request deletion of your personal information

  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information

  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information)

  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 9 below. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.


7. International Data Transfers

Because our service providers (such as Beehiiv and Google Analytics) may process data outside of your country of residence, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. We take steps to ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.


8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
