Your reading is your own.

What we collect. We log standard web-server data (IP address, user-agent, requested URL, referrer, timestamp) for up to 30 days for abuse prevention and performance debugging. We also run aggregate, privacy-respecting analytics on page views — no cross-site tracking, no third-party advertising cookies.

What we do not collect. We do not run an ad network. We do not embed third-party trackers from social platforms. We do not require accounts to read articles.

Device storage. Your theme preference, saved places and saved-story reading list are stored in your browser’s local storage. Saved places and saved-story titles and excerpts are not sent to our server and do not sync across devices. Remove entries in My places or My reading list, or clear this site’s browser data.

Editorial accounts. The private CMS stores the editor’s email, password hash, article drafts, uploaded images, revision history and publishing activity in our hosting database. It uses a secure, HTTP-only session cookie that expires after eight hours. Drafts and unused images are restricted to signed-in editors. We do not include page-view analytics in the CMS. Account data and editorial history are retained while the account and content are needed; contact [email protected] about access or removal.

Third-party sources. Article images and links point to the originating publishers. When you click an outbound link, the destination site applies its own privacy policy.

Your rights. You can request deletion of any logs tied to your IP by contacting us. We honour Do-Not-Track and Global Privacy Control signals.

Changes. Material changes to this policy will be announced on this page with a revised effective date.
