Information We Receive Automatically
When you visit the catalogue, our server records routine log entries: your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the date and time of your request, the pages you view, and the referring website if you followed a link from elsewhere. This information is used to diagnose technical issues, protect against misuse, and understand general usage patterns so that we can improve the reading experience.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you send a message through the contact address provided on the site, we receive the contents of your message and your email address. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not add it to any marketing list. The catalogue does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to browse or read any of the listed works.
Site Preferences
A small amount of data may be stored in your browser to remember choices you make on the catalogue, such as text-size settings or which edition notes you have viewed. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our server unless you explicitly submit a preference form.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Like many websites, this catalogue may place small text files known as cookies on your device. These are used for essential functions such as maintaining your session as you move between pages. Where enabled, non-essential cookies may be used by analytics or advertising services described below. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect certain features of the site.
Analytics
Where analytics are enabled, we use a service that collects anonymous information about how visitors interact with the catalogue. This includes page views, time spent on pages, and the paths visitors follow. The service may set its own cookies. The data is aggregated and used to help us understand which works and reading guides are most engaging. We do not combine analytics data with personal identifiers.
Advertising
Where advertising is displayed, third-party ad networks may serve ads on the catalogue. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your visits across different websites in order to provide relevant advertisements. The collection and use of that information is governed by the privacy policies of those networks, not by this policy. You may opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out mechanisms such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or your device settings.
Google Advertising Services
If Google advertising services are displayed, Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this catalogue and other websites. You can learn about Google’s practices and opt out of certain Google advertising features by visiting the Google Advertising & Privacy page. Google’s use of advertising cookies is subject to its own privacy policy.
Third-Party Cookies and Web Beacons
Some pages may include embedded content (such as links to external sources or media) that could set cookies or web beacons from third-party domains. We do not control these technologies, and their use is subject to the privacy policies of the respective providers.
Purposes of Processing
We process the information described above for the following purposes: operating and maintaining the catalogue, ensuring security, analyzing usage to improve content, and, where applicable, enabling advertising. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the availability of the catalogue.
Service-Provider Access
We may engage limited service providers (for example, hosting or analytics) who have access to personal information only as necessary to perform their functions and are contractually bound to protect that information. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention
We retain server logs and analytics data for periods necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Messages sent via the contact address are retained only as long as needed to address the inquiry.
Your Choices and Rights
You may set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being set. You can also use browser privacy features to limit tracking. Where consent is used for non-essential cookies or advertising, you may withdraw consent via the consent management tool provided on the site. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise such rights, please contact us using the email address provided in the catalogue.
Children’s Privacy
This catalogue is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so that we can delete it.
