Privacy & measurement.

Dreamaica uses aggregate counts to understand which pages are read, broad arrival channels, newsletter enrollment and shop handoffs. Analytics do not store your email, full referring address, search query, advertising identifier or a personal visitor profile. Counts include repeat actions and are not a count of unique people.

Browser storage holds a yes/no return-visit marker and session-level arrival context. No visitor identifier is sent with these counts. The reader analytics script respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. You can also clear this site’s browser storage. Operational counters and abuse prevention still run on the server.

Story tips and newsletter enrollment are separate. Contact details supplied in those forms are saved privately for their stated purpose; a story tip does not subscribe you. Newsletter delivery is being connected. A saved request is not proof of email delivery.

Abuse prevention uses short-lived, hashed request keys derived from a network address and hour. It does not save the raw address in these application tables. Shop checkout is operated by Walk Good Jamaica through Shopify, with its own privacy and purchase terms.

For questions about your contribution or enrollment, use the private editorial contact form at Submit a Story and identify the request you want reviewed. Do not include sensitive documents.
