Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

Account information you provide when you register or sign in, such as your name, email address and role.

Content you submit, including articles, comments, media uploads and the metadata attached to them.

Usage and analytics data, such as the pages you view, search queries, reading time and referring links, collected to understand and improve the service.

Device and log data, such as your IP address, browser type and timestamps, automatically recorded by our servers.

2. How we use your information

To operate, maintain and secure the platform and to deliver the content you request.

To personalise your experience, power search and recommendations, and produce aggregate analytics.

To communicate with you about your account, editorial workflow events and important service notices.

To detect, prevent and address fraud, abuse and security incidents.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember your language and theme preferences, and measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.

4. Sharing and third parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us run the platform (such as hosting, search and media storage), under contracts that require them to protect it.

When you choose to share an article to a social network, that network receives the information necessary to publish it and processes it under its own policies.

We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, safety and property of our users and the public.

5. Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

6. Security

We use technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls and audit logging — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Children's privacy

The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version here with a new "last updated" date, and significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.

10. Contact us
