Why We Require Location Access

This website requires browser geolocation access before showing content. This is a deliberate product decision to verify visitors and deliver aggregated, location-aware analytics. It is not a requirement of your browser or operating system — it is a requirement of this application.

Information We Collect

What We Do Not Collect

We never access passwords, contacts, private messages, files, clipboard contents, microphone or camera data, or any personal information unrelated to operating this site.

Why We Collect It

Location data authorizes access to the site and powers aggregated analytics (for example, "visitors by country/region"). Session data helps us understand traffic patterns, secure the site against abuse, and improve the reading experience.

How Long We Keep It

Visitor, location, and page-view records are retained for a limited operational period and then periodically purged or aggregated. Individual coordinate-level records are not displayed publicly and are only used in aggregate within the admin dashboard.

Security

Data is stored in a access-controlled database. All administrative access requires authentication. We apply industry-standard practices including hashed passwords, prepared SQL statements, CSRF protection, and secure session handling.

Your Choices

You may decline location access, in which case you will not be able to view this website's content. If you have already granted access and would like your collected data deleted, contact us using the details on our Contact page and reference your approximate visit date; we will locate and remove matching records.

Third-Party Services

We may use OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to translate coordinates into a general country/region/city label for analytics. This lookup is optional and never blocks access to the site if it fails or is unavailable.
