Summary
This Privacy Policy explains that isec.news does not collect or process any personal data, does not use cookies or tracking technologies, and leverages Cloudflare for CDN and privacy-first web analytics. We automatically retain minimal technical logs (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, performance metrics) for up to 30 days purely for performance monitoring and security purposes, without profiling or tracking users. Currently, we do not serve any advertisements, but should we introduce ads in the future, they will be non-intrusive and tailored only to the information‑security interests of our readership.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
- Personal Data
We do not collect, store, or process personal data such as names, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information. - Tracking Technologies
We do not deploy cookies, fingerprinting, or any other tracking methods on our site.
2. Automatically Collected Data
- Server Logs
For the sole purpose of ensuring site reliability and security, our servers automatically record standard technical logs, including IP addresses, request timestamps, user agents, and performance metrics. - Log Retention Period
These logs are retained for no longer than 30 days and are never used for user profiling or targeted advertising.
3. Use of Cloudflare as a Third‑Party Service
- CDN and DDoS Protection
We use Cloudflare to distribute content efficiently worldwide and to protect against distributed denial‑of‑service (DDoS) attacks. - Web Analytics
Our analytics are provided by Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is a lightweight, privacy‑first solution that does not use cookies or store any personal information.
4. Cookies
We do not set any cookies on your browser. Even Cloudflare’s own analytics product operates without client‑side state such as cookies or localStorage.
5. Advertising
- Current Status
We do not run any advertisements on isec.news at this time. - Future Ads
When we introduce advertising, ads will be relevant to information‑security professionals and enthusiasts; we will not engage in behavioral tracking or profiling.
6. Data Protection and Your Rights
Although we do not collect personal data, Cloudflare as our data processor recognizes individuals’ data protection rights under applicable laws. You may review or request deletion of any data Cloudflare holds on your request directly through their privacy portal.
