Traffic Monitoring: Like most professional websites, The Broken Typewriter utilizes standard server logs and analytics to monitor site performance and security. This includes logging:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and browser types (User Agents).

  • Referral data (how you found our site).

  • Access patterns for archival content.

Purpose of Data: We use this information solely for internal site management, to protect our intellectual property from automated scraping, and to ensure compliance with our Terms of Use. We do not sell this data to third parties.

Security & IP Protection: To protect our exclusive content, we monitor for anomalous traffic patterns. This includes tracking excessive repeat access to specific articles from single commercial networks or IP addresses. Such patterns are logged as evidence of potential content scraping or unauthorized "news lifting." This data may be used to issue syndication invoices or for copyright enforcement.
