Plain-English summary
We do not want more information than we need.
MezcalDaily.com is designed as a public educational website. You can read most pages without creating an account, buying anything, or submitting personal information. If you contact us by email, we may receive the information you choose to send.
Like most websites, basic technical information may be collected automatically through hosting logs, analytics tools, browser cookies, or similar technologies. This may include information such as browser type, pages visited, approximate location, referring pages, and device information.
Not legal advice
This privacy policy is a general website privacy statement, not legal advice. Privacy laws vary by location and may change. For legal compliance questions, consult a qualified attorney.
Information you provide voluntarily
If you email MezcalDaily.com, submit a correction, suggest a source, report a broken link, or contact us for another reason, we may receive information such as your name, email address, message content, and any other details you choose to include.
Please do not send sensitive personal information, payment information, medical information, legal documents, government identification numbers, or anything you do not want included in a normal email conversation.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, our hosting provider, analytics provider, or related tools may automatically collect limited technical information. This can include:
- IP address or approximate network location.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on pages.
- Referring website or search query information.
- General interaction data, such as clicks or navigation paths.
This information is generally used to understand site performance, improve pages, detect errors, protect against abuse, and learn which mezcal goblins are causing the most confusion.
Cookies and similar technologies
MezcalDaily.com may use cookies, local storage, analytics tags, or similar technologies to support basic site functionality, understand traffic, improve performance, and measure how visitors use the site.
You can usually adjust cookie settings in your browser. Blocking cookies may affect some features, though most educational pages should remain readable.
| Type | Possible use | Goblin translation |
|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Support basic site operation or security. | The site remembers how to behave. |
| Analytics cookies | Help understand traffic and page performance. | Which page confused the most humans? |
| Preference storage | May remember display or interface choices. | The goblin is not allowed to pick your settings. |
| Third-party embeds | External services may set their own cookies if embedded content is used. | Other websites bring their own tiny luggage. |
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors find and use MezcalDaily.com. Analytics may help us see which pages are popular, which pages load slowly, and where readers may get lost.
Analytics information is generally used in aggregate. We are interested in improving the site, not identifying individual readers who secretly clicked the Label Goblin page three times.
Email communications
If you contact us by email, we may keep your message so we can respond, track corrections, manage source suggestions, or improve the site. Email is not always secure, so avoid sending sensitive information.
We do not sell contact emails to alcohol marketers, agave goblins, or mysterious premium smoke clubs.
Third-party links
MezcalDaily.com may link to third-party websites, including official sources, educational references, regulatory sources, producer information, news articles, ABC Solar, or other external sites.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, cookies, or policies of third-party websites. When you leave MezcalDaily.com, review the privacy policy of the site you visit.
External link rule
A link is not an endorsement of every privacy practice on another website. It is a doorway. Check what is on the other side.
Advertising and affiliate links
MezcalDaily.com may include advertising, sponsorship notices, affiliate links, or partner links in the future. If that happens, those relationships should be disclosed where appropriate.
Third-party advertising or affiliate providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies. MezcalDaily.com does not control every tracking technology used by third parties after you click away from this site.
Children and minors
MezcalDaily.com discusses alcoholic beverages and is intended for adults of legal drinking age. The site is not directed to children or minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Adults of legal drinking age only
MezcalDaily.com is educational alcohol-related content. Do not use the site to encourage underage drinking, unsafe consumption, drinking challenges, or drinking and driving.

Information sharing
We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the site, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers, or security tools. These providers may process data according to their own terms and privacy policies.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights or safety, or to investigate abuse, fraud, or security issues.
Data security
We use reasonable efforts to protect information associated with the site, but no website, server, email system, or internet transmission is perfectly secure. Do not send sensitive information through ordinary site contact channels.
Data retention
We may retain emails, logs, analytics information, and related records for as long as reasonably useful for site operation, response, improvement, security, or legal purposes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the tools involved.
Your choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain personal information. To make a privacy-related request, contact us by email.
Privacy contact
Use a clear subject line such as “Privacy Request” so the goblin cannot misfile it under “mystical smoke.”
California and other privacy rights
Privacy rights may vary depending on where you live. Residents of certain jurisdictions, including California and other regions with privacy laws, may have additional rights regarding access, deletion, correction, or opt-out choices.
MezcalDaily.com is a small educational website, and some legal obligations may depend on the site’s actual data practices, traffic, revenue, and third-party tools. Contact us with specific privacy questions.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date or other notice as appropriate. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
Good privacy is like good mezcal labeling: clear, specific, and not hiding behind smoke.
