Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026

Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile image. When you publish an article, comment, or like a story, we store that content along with the date it was created. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate the site: authenticate you, publish and attribute your content, deliver the newsletter you requested, and show aggregate reading metrics (such as article view counts) to authors and administrators. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use browser local storage to remember your theme preference (light or dark). Sessions are tracked with a server-side session cookie so you stay signed in. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

Third-Party Services

This site loads fonts and icons from Google Fonts and Font Awesome, and article cover images may be hosted on third-party image services. Those services may process limited technical data (such as your IP address) in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Data Security

Passwords are stored only as salted hashes and are never readable by site staff. Access to administrative functions is restricted to authorized accounts. No security measure is absolute, but we follow standard industry practices to protect your data.

Your Rights

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and associated content. To make a request, contact us using the details on this page.
