7. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles published on Not5 may contain embedded content, including videos, images, social media posts, and articles from external websites.

Embedded content behaves as though you had visited the originating website directly.

These third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, employ additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interactions with their embedded content.

10. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely.

This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than requiring repeated moderation.

For registered users, if registration is available, we store the information provided in their user profiles.

Registered users may view, edit, or delete their personal information, except for their usernames. Website administrators may also access and edit profile information when necessary.

Other information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

Retention periods for data collected independently by third-party services are governed by their respective privacy policies.

To exercise your rights, please contact us through the contact information available on our website.

12. International Data Transfers

Some website service providers and advertising partners may process information in countries outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area.

Where required by applicable data protection laws, international transfers must be supported by appropriate legal safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or approved contractual protections.

The specific safeguards depend on the provider and the countries involved.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These may include secure website connections, access controls, software updates, and security monitoring.

However, no internet-based system or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Children’s Privacy

Not5 is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child without the required authorization, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information.

Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information may contact us to request its review or removal.
