Information We Receive Automatically
When you visit the catalogue, our server records routine technical details: your device’s Internet Protocol address, browser type and language, operating system, referring and exit pages, and the date and time of each request. This information is used to diagnose technical problems, maintain security, and understand general usage patterns. We do not combine these logs with other data to identify individual readers.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you send a message through the contact address shown on the site (editor@rvizi.com), we receive the content of your message and any metadata your email system includes. We use this correspondence solely to respond to your inquiry and to improve the catalogue. We do not add your address to marketing lists or share it with third parties.
Site Preferences and Local Storage
The catalogue may store small pieces of information in your browser to remember preferences you set — for example, a preferred text size or a dismissed notice. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our server unless you explicitly submit it.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies where enabled by your browser. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. The catalogue sets strictly necessary cookies for basic operation, such as maintaining session state during a browsing session. We may also set functional cookies to remember your preferences. Where analytics or advertising services are enabled, third-party cookies and web beacons may be placed by those service providers.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this may affect some features of the catalogue. For more information about cookie management, consult your browser’s help documentation.
Analytics and Advertising (Where Enabled)
We may use analytics services to collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how the catalogue is used — for example, which pages are visited most often and what search terms are used. These services may set their own cookies or use web beacons. If advertising is displayed, Google advertising services (such as Google AdSense) may serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Google uses cookies and web beacons to deliver relevant advertisements. You can learn about Google’s data practices and opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
We do not control the cookies or data practices of third-party analytics or advertising providers. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Purposes of Processing
We process the data described above for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the catalogue.
- To respond to your communications.
- To monitor and analyse usage trends and preferences.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats.
- Where advertising is enabled, to support the continued availability of free content.
Service Providers
We may engage limited third-party service providers (for example, hosting, analytics, or email handling) who have access to personal data only as necessary to perform their functions and are contractually bound to protect that data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to other parties for their own purposes.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we process against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain server logs and analytics data for a period sufficient to support operational and analytical needs, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Messages sent to the catalogue project are retained for as long as needed to address the inquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period. Preference data stored on your device remains until you clear it.
Your Choices and Rights
You have the following choices regarding your data:
- Cookies: Use your browser settings to accept, reject, or delete cookies.
- Analytics and Advertising: Where enabled, you may opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and you may opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings.
- Communications: If you have sent a message and later wish to have it removed, please contact us.
- Access and Correction: You may request access to personal data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by contacting the catalogue project. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law. We will honour any valid request consistent with the law.
Children’s Privacy
The catalogue is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received such information, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who have concerns may contact the catalogue project.
External Links
The catalogue may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
International Access
The catalogue is hosted in the United States and is accessible from many countries. If you access it from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located. By using the catalogue, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply to information collected after that point. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
