Privacy Policy
Independent reporting, clear standards, and a curious view of what comes next.
This policy explains what personal information ByteSfera collects, why we collect it and the choices you have. We collect as little as possible and do not sell personal information.
Information you send us
When you apply to write for us, we store the details you provide in the application form: your name, email address, country, preferred language, expertise, biography, motivation and any portfolio or social profile links. When you use the contact form, we store your name, email address, subject and message. We use this information only to review your application or answer your inquiry, and we may email you about it. Application and contact data is not sent to AI providers.
Accounts
Editors and approved contributors sign in with an email address and password. Passwords are stored only as secure hashes. We keep the information needed to protect sign-in, such as limiting repeated failed attempts.
Analytics
First-party analytics are recorded only after you choose to allow them in the analytics banner. With your consent we store the page visited, language, referring website, campaign tag, coarse device type and country. We do not store full IP addresses and we do not use third-party advertising trackers. If you decline, no analytics record is created.
Retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, then delete it. Access to administrative data is limited to the editorial team and protected by authentication.
Your choices
You can change your analytics choice at any time by clearing the site's cookies in your browser. To request access to, correction of or deletion of your information, contact the editorial team through the contact page. We will verify the request and reply by email.
