Privacy Policy

Last Modified: March 30, 2026

Quake Services (“Company,” “We,” “Our,” or “Us”) — a Cook Islands company — takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit nyhuffpost.com (including all subdomains, referred to here as the “Site”), and how we use, store, protect, and, in some cases, share that information when you access or use any content, features, or services available through the Site (collectively, the “Services”).

By continuing to use our Services, you agree to the terms described in this policy as well as our Terms of Use, both of which may be updated from time to time. If we make changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any update means you accept the revised terms. If you don’t agree, please stop using the Site.

Definitions

Here’s a quick guide to the key terms used throughout this policy:

• Account — A unique account you create to access certain parts of our Services.
• Affiliate — Any company that controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with Quake Services (typically meaning 50% or more ownership).

• Personal Data — Any information that can be used to identify you, directly or indirectly.

Children Under the Age of 13

Our Site is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t intentionally collect personal information from them. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we want to be upfront about our practices.

Children can browse and enjoy much of our Site’s content without providing personal information. That said, like most websites, we do use cookies and similar technologies that automatically collect some limited information from all visitors, including children.

If a child uses our Site, we only collect the minimum information necessary — and we never require more than is reasonably needed. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13 without proper parental consent, please contact us right away using the details at the bottom of this page, and we’ll delete it promptly.

We may share children’s information only in the following limited circumstances:

1. With third-party service providers who support the internal operation of our Site, under strict confidentiality obligations.
2. When required by law, court order, or a government request.
3. When necessary to protect the safety of a child, the security of our Site, or to limit our legal liability.
4. With law enforcement in connection with a public safety investigation.
5. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, where collected data may transfer to a successor entity.

California residents under 16 may have additional rights around the collection and sale of their personal information.

Our Site may also contain links to other websites we don’t operate. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit. We have no responsibility for third-party sites, and this Privacy Policy doesn’t apply to them.

We use the information we collect to run and improve our Services. Specifically, we use it to:

• Deliver our content and services to you

• Detect and prevent fraud
• Comply with legal obligations
• Improve internal operations, efficiency, and quality control

• Internet or electronic network activity — such as browsing history, search history, and interactions with our Site or advertisements

V. How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep your personal data for as long as you have an active account with us or we’re providing services to you. After that, we may retain it only as long as necessary to respond to complaints, demonstrate fair treatment, or meet legal requirements. We don’t hold onto data longer than needed.

VI. How We Protect Your Information

We use industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, accidental loss, or misuse of your personal data. Access is limited to staff who genuinely need it, and everyone who handles your data is bound by confidentiality obligations. We have procedures in place to handle suspected data breaches — and where required by law, we’ll notify you and any relevant regulators.

That said, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is completely foolproof. We do our best to protect your information, but we can’t guarantee absolute security.

VII. Updating Your Information

You can contact us at any time to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data you’ve provided. Please note that we may not be able to change information if doing so would violate a law or make the information inaccurate.

IX. California Privacy Rights

If you’re a California resident, you have specific rights under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section 1798.83) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

What We Collect and How We Use It

Your Rights as a California Resident

Right to Know & Access: You can request a full breakdown of the personal data we’ve collected about you over the past 12 months — including what categories we collected, where it came from, why we collected it, who we shared it with, and the specific pieces of data we hold.

Right to Delete: You can ask us to delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions (such as completing a transaction, complying with the law, or detecting fraud).

Right to Opt Out of Sale: You have the right to tell us not to sell your personal data to third parties. Contact us using the details above to opt out.

Non-Discrimination: Exercising your rights won’t result in denial of service, different pricing, or lower quality treatment.

How to Submit a Request: Reach out to us using the contact details in Section VIII. We’ll respond within 45 days. If we need more time (up to an additional 45 days), we’ll let you know in writing.

X. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Many U.S. states have passed their own comprehensive privacy laws. If you live in Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have additional privacy rights beyond what’s described here.

The following rights generally apply to residents of all those states:

• The right to confirm whether we process your personal data
• The right to access and delete certain personal data
• The right to data portability
• The right to opt out of personal data processing for targeted advertising or sales

Most of those states (excluding Iowa and Utah) also provide the right to:

• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Opt out of profiling used in legally or significantly impactful decisions

To exercise any of these rights or to appeal a decision, please write to: Ora Fiduciary (Cook Islands) Limited, Global House, Avarua, Rarotonga, Cook Islands.

Nevada residents may also have limited rights to opt out of certain personal data sales. Please send a written request to the address above.

XI. EU & UK Privacy Rights

If you’re located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to how we handle your personal data. Here’s the legal basis we rely on:

• Consent — When you’ve given us clear permission for a specific purpose. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests — When processing is reasonably necessary for our business, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
• Legal Obligations — When we’re legally required to process your data.
• Vital Interests — When processing is necessary to protect someone’s life or safety.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right to Access — Request a copy of your personal data.
• Right to Rectification — Ask us to correct any inaccuracies.
• Right to Erasure — Request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Restriction — Ask us to pause processing in certain situations.
• Right to Data Portability — Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object — Object to processing for direct marketing or based on legitimate interests.
• Right Against Automated Decision-Making — Request human review when automated processing significantly affects you.

We are generally the “data controller” for the personal data described in this policy. When delivering our Services, we may occasionally need to transfer your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Contact us for more information.

XII. Canadian Privacy Rights

If you’re based in Canada, we process your personal data based on your express or implied consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

In limited circumstances, Canadian law allows us to process your data without consent — for example, for fraud detection, legally required disclosures, or business transactions that meet specific conditions.

We may also contact you about our own services or those of select third parties that we think might interest you, in line with applicable Canadian law.
