About ARX
ARX Online is an independent platform for daily updates, podcasts, reports, and projects focused on understanding the world around us. At its core is Moves Daily, a free daily briefing that distills the most important developments in geopolitics, global events, conflict, and international affairs into clear, actionable insights.
Around the newsletter is the growing ARX ecosystem. A collection of tools, analysis, and resources designed to help readers see beyond the headlines. Every part of ARX is built with the same mission: delivering clarity and context, while turning insight into leverage in an increasingly noisy world. Follow along as ARX continues to grow.
Stern Schneider - Founder, ARX
I studied International Security Studies at the University of Oklahoma, with a minor in Middle East Studies. I have a background in intelligence analysis, open-source research, and the U.S. Military.
I created ARX as a platform for exploring ideas in geopolitics, current events, geography, strategy, history, and the occasional puzzle.

Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2, 2026
ARX respects your privacy. ARX is committed to collecting and using as little personal information as reasonably necessary to operate its website, services, communications, and related features.
This Privacy Policy explains what information ARX may collect, how it may be used, how it may be stored or shared, and the choices available to you.
Information We Collect
ARX generally does not require you to provide personal information simply to browse or use publicly available portions of the website.
If you subscribe to Moves Daily, ARX collects the email address you voluntarily provide. This information is used primarily to deliver Moves Daily and, where applicable, related communications concerning ARX content, features, products, services, or other activities.
If you contact ARX, ARX may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message, or other information included in your communication.
ARX does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless you voluntarily provide it and it is reasonably necessary to respond to your request or operate a service.
ARX does not intentionally collect precise location information, biometric information, financial account information, government identification numbers, or similar sensitive information through the ordinary use of the website.
Automatically Collected Information
ARX does not intentionally operate analytics or advertising-tracking systems such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, or similar services at this time.
However, the website is hosted on or relies upon third-party services, including Google services. Those providers may independently collect technical information when you access websites or services they operate or support, including information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, timestamps, security information, or information associated with cookies and similar technologies.
ARX does not control the information practices of third-party providers and does not represent that third-party services will not collect technical information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
ARX does not intentionally use cookies or similar technologies for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking.
Third-party services used to operate or display portions of the ARX website may nevertheless use cookies or similar technologies for functionality, security, authentication, performance, or other purposes determined by those providers.
You can generally manage or disable cookies through your web browser. Disabling certain cookies or browser technologies may affect the functionality of third-party services.
How We Use Information
Information voluntarily provided to ARX may be used to:
Deliver Moves Daily and related communications.
Respond to questions, comments, or requests.
Maintain, operate, secure, and improve the ARX website and services.
Manage subscriptions and communications.
Process or facilitate transactions through applicable third-party providers.
Protect ARX, its users, and others from fraud, abuse, security threats, or unlawful activity.
Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests.
ARX does not use subscriber email addresses for unrelated purposes without a reasonable basis to do so.
Moves Daily and Email Communications
When you subscribe to Moves Daily, you may receive recurring email communications from ARX.
Moves Daily may contain informational content as well as links or references to other ARX projects, features, products, services, the ARX Store, Quest, donation opportunities, or other ARX activities.
You may unsubscribe from marketing or promotional email communications at any time using the unsubscribe method provided in the applicable email or by contacting ARX.
ARX may retain an email address or limited information necessary to honor an unsubscribe request or otherwise comply with applicable law.
ARX does not knowingly use purchased or harvested email lists.
Information Sharing
ARX does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
ARX may disclose information to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate the website or provide a service you have requested. This may include service providers that host, store, process, transmit, or otherwise assist ARX with website operation, communications, newsletter delivery, payments, or other business functions.
ARX may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or when ARX reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of ARX, its users, or others.
If ARX is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, business transfer, or similar transaction, information associated with the affected services may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
Data Storage and Retention
Subscriber and other information voluntarily provided to ARX may be stored using third-party services, including Google services.
ARX retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to maintain business and operational records, to honor communication preferences, to resolve disputes, to enforce agreements, or to comply with legal obligations.
ARX does not guarantee a specific retention period for every category of information.
Third-Party Services
ARX relies on third-party services to operate portions of the website and its services. These may include Google services such as Google Sites, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Apps Script, and related infrastructure.
ARX may also direct users to third-party services such as PayPal for donations or payment processing and third-party storefront or fulfillment providers such as Printful for products offered through the ARX Store.
When you interact directly with a third-party service, that provider may collect, use, store, or process information according to its own privacy practices and terms.
ARX does not control the privacy or security practices of third-party providers and is not responsible for their independent handling of information.
Donations and Payments
If you choose to make a donation to ARX or purchase a product through an ARX-linked service, you may be redirected to a third-party payment or commerce provider.
ARX does not intentionally collect or store your full payment card number or other financial account credentials through the ARX website.
Payment and transaction information provided directly to a third-party provider is governed by that provider's applicable privacy policy and terms.
Data Security
ARX takes reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the information to protect information under its control against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no method of electronic storage, processing, or transmission over the internet is completely secure. ARX cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, lost, or destroyed as a result of circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may choose not to provide personal information to ARX, although certain features or services may require information in order to function.
You may unsubscribe from Moves Daily at any time.
You may also contact ARX to request that information voluntarily provided by you be corrected or removed, subject to any information ARX is required or permitted to retain by law or for legitimate operational purposes.
ARX will make reasonable efforts to respond to legitimate privacy-related requests.
Applicable privacy laws may provide residents of certain jurisdictions with additional rights. ARX will comply with applicable legal requirements to the extent those requirements apply to ARX.
Children's Privacy
ARX does not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where applicable law prohibits such collection.
If ARX becomes aware that it has received personal information from a child in circumstances where the information should not have been collected, ARX will take reasonable steps to address the situation.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information to ARX may contact ARX using the contact information provided on the website.
External Links and Embedded Content
The ARX website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites, platforms, services, publications, maps, videos, or other resources.
ARX does not control those third parties. Visiting or interacting with an external service may cause that service to collect information directly from you under its own privacy policy and terms.
You should review the privacy practices of third-party services before providing them with personal information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
ARX may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in the website, services, technology, business practices, or applicable law.
Changes become effective when the revised Privacy Policy is posted on this page unless otherwise stated.

Such information is provided for general informational purposes and may change rapidly.
