At The European Journal, your trust is our most valuable asset. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you engage with our journalism, website, and community. We believe privacy should not be hidden in fine print—it should be clear, respectful, and transparent.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect information that helps us deliver a better experience to you. This may include:
- Personal details you share with us (such as your name and email if you subscribe, comment, or contact us).
- Technical information (like IP address, browser type, and device data) to improve site performance and security.
- Engagement data (articles you read, features you interact with) to help us understand what matters to our readers.
We do not buy, sell, or trade your personal information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we gather for the following purposes:
- To deliver journalism that is accurate, timely, and relevant to your interests.
- To personalize your reading experience and recommend content.
- To improve website functionality, security, and reader engagement.
- To communicate with you (such as newsletters, updates, or replies to inquiries).
- To comply with legal obligations when required.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Yes, we use cookies—but not the chocolate chip kind. These small digital tools help us:
- Remember your preferences (like language settings).
- Understand readership trends.
- Improve usability and content delivery.
You can manage or disable cookies anytime through your browser settings.
4. Data Protection & Security
We take your privacy seriously. Your data is stored securely, and we use encryption and modern security measures to prevent unauthorized access. While no system is 100% hack-proof, we are committed to safeguarding your information to the highest possible standards.
5. Sharing of Information
We only share your data when it is essential:
- With trusted service providers who help us operate the website (under strict confidentiality agreements).
- When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety.
