Introduction

At reportage.news, we respect your privacy and handle your information with care. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have.

What we collect

• Comment and contact information: Name or pseudonym and email address you provide when posting comments or contacting us.
• Server logs: Standard server logs (e.g., IP address, timestamps, requested URLs) used for security and reliability.
• For a secure and smooth digital experience: To prevent repeated voting on heart‑ratings, reportage store an IP address in a local file. This is used only to enforce one vote per visitor and is not used for tracking or identification.

Cookies and tracking

We do not store cookies. We do not use tracking pixels, behavioral analytics, or third‑party advertising trackers. Any session handling necessary for site operation is done without persistent cookies and without cross‑site tracking.

How we use your information

• Notifications: To send comment reply notifications or confirmations if you opt in by providing your email.
• Support: To respond to messages you send us.
• Security and integrity: To protect the site, prevent abuse, and maintain reliable operation using minimal server logs.
• Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests.

Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g., hosting and email delivery) solely to operate the site, bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations, or disclose information if required by law.

Your choices and rights

• Access and correction: You may request access to or correction of your information.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of comments or associated personal information.
• Opt‑out: You can opt out of notifications at any time by contacting us.

To exercise your rights, email privacy@reportage.news. If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you may have additional rights under GDPR (including data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority). If you are a California resident, you may have rights under CCPA/CPRA (including knowing, deleting, and limiting use of sensitive personal information). We honor applicable requests to the extent required by law.

Data retention and security

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data; however, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

International transfers

If you access reportage.news from outside our hosting region, your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws. We aim to protect your data consistently across regions.

Children’s privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices. The “Last updated” date will indicate the latest revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
