Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Truth Era collects, why we use it, and the choices available to you.
1. Information we collect
Account information, including your name, email address, password hash, verification status, and account role.
Content and interactions you choose to provide, including story submissions, comments, reports, and bookmarks.
Technical and usage information needed to operate and protect the service, such as IP address, browser information, request logs, session data, and article views.
Cookies and similar storage used for authentication, registration, security, and language preferences.
2. How we use information
We use information to create and secure accounts, provide site features, review and publish submissions, moderate discussions, communicate essential service notices, measure readership, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.
3. When information is shared
Public profile names, published submissions, and comments may be visible to other users. We may share information with infrastructure, email, storage, analytics, and security providers acting on our behalf; when required by law; or when necessary to protect users, the public, or the service. We may also transfer information as part of a merger, financing, or sale, subject to this policy.
4. Retention
We retain information only for as long as needed for the purposes described here, including account operation, editorial records, security, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Published journalism and associated attribution may be retained as part of the public record. Verification codes expire automatically.
5. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, or restriction of your personal information, or object to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Some information may be retained when required for legal, security, or editorial reasons.
6. Security and international processing
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Our providers may process information in countries other than your own, with protections required by applicable law.
7. Children
Truth Era is not directed to children who cannot lawfully consent to use an online service in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child provided personal information without valid consent, contact the site operator so it can be reviewed and removed where required.
8. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the service or law changes. The date above shows the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated through the service where appropriate. Privacy questions and rights requests may be sent using the official operator contact details published by Truth Era.
