Privacy

Version 1.0 · 4 November 2026

This statement gives the information required by Article 13 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (P)¹.

Who is responsible

The data controller is {{OWNER_NAME}}, based in Croatia, who owns and edits this site. You can reach the controller at {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}.

What the site does not do

Apart from the server logs described below, reading this site gives us no personal data about you.

• No cookies. The site sets no cookies.
• No analytics and no tracking. There are no visitor statistics, tracking pixels, fingerprinting or advertising.
• No third-party embeds. Text, images, scripts and self-hosted fonts all come from this site's own server. There are no content delivery network scripts, social media buttons, embedded videos or maps.
• No accounts, forms or comments. The site is static HTML, the same for every reader.
• No profiling. We make no automated decisions about readers.

The home page remembers the display settings you choose (language, counter starting point, model inputs) in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device, are never sent to us, contain no personal data and can be deleted in your browser.

Links to other sites

When you follow a link to a cited source, you leave this site, and that site's own privacy policy and cookies apply.

Server logs

The site is hosted by {{HOSTING_PROVIDER}}. Its servers may record each request in an access log: your IP address, the date and time, the page or file requested, and your browser's user agent (which names your browser and operating system). The host processes these logs for {{HOSTING_LOG_PURPOSES}} and deletes them after {{HOSTING_LOG_RETENTION}}. {{HOSTING_PROCESSING_AND_TRANSFERS}} Its privacy policy is at {{HOSTING_PRIVACY_URL}}. For security and operation, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure, working site, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (P)¹.

When you write to us

If you email {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}, we receive your name as you give it, your email address, the content of your message with any attachments, and its date. We use these data only for two purposes:

1. To answer you.
2. To handle a correction. We check your report; if the page changes, the change goes into the public corrections log on Corrections & Contact. A log entry records what changed, why and on which source. It names you only if you ask to be credited; otherwise it says "reported by a reader". Your email address never appears in the log.

We do not sell your messages or use them for marketing. Provider processing and any other access are explained below; public name credits require your permission. Writing to us is voluntary; without an email address we cannot reply.

Our mailbox provider is {{EMAIL_PROVIDER}}; its privacy policy is at {{EMAIL_PRIVACY_URL}}. {{EMAIL_PROCESSING_AND_TRANSFERS}} {{CORRESPONDENCE_ACCESS_POLICY}}

Legal basis

• Answering and handling corrections: our legitimate interest in replying to readers who write to us and in keeping the site accurate, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (P)¹.
• Crediting you by name in the corrections log: your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw it at any time by email; we then replace your name with "reported by a reader". Withdrawal does not make the earlier credit unlawful (Article 7(3)) (P)¹.

How long we keep your data

We delete correspondence, including attachments, {{RETENTION_MONTHS}} months after the last message in the conversation. For a correction, we keep only a record of the date, the page, what was wrong, the fix and its supporting sources, without personal details. The original email and attachments follow the same {{RETENTION_MONTHS}}-month deletion period. A public name credit remains until consent is withdrawn.

Your rights

Depending on the processing and the GDPR conditions, you can ask to:

• see the personal data we hold about you (Article 15);
• correct inaccurate data (Article 16);
• erase your data (Article 17);
• restrict how we process it (Article 18);
• object to processing based on our legitimate interest (Article 21);
• receive data you supplied, where we process it on the basis of your consent (or a contract, which this site does not use) and by automated means, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (Article 20) (P)¹.

To use these rights, write to {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}. We respond without undue delay, normally within one month. For complex or numerous requests, the GDPR allows up to two further months; we explain any extension within the first month (Article 12(3)) (P)¹.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77) (P)¹. The authority for this site is the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka, AZOP), which explains how to lodge a complaint (P)². You may also complain to the authority of the EU or EEA country where you live or work, or where you think the infringement took place. The European Data Protection Board lists every national authority (P)³.

Children

The site offers no services aimed at children. Reading the site involves the logs and browser settings described above; emails are handled as explained above.
