Privacy Policy

This policy explains in plain language how Globetrotter by Harold Emert handles personal data on this website, including comments loaded through GitHub and Giscus.

Data handled by the website

This is a static website and readers do not need to create an account. Standard technical records, such as IP address, date, browser and pages visited, may be handled by hosting and infrastructure providers for security, availability and diagnostics.

Comments through GitHub and Giscus

Comments are provided by Giscus using GitHub Discussions. When you choose to load the comments area and post a comment, you interact with third-party services. Your username, public profile image, comment content, reactions and associated metadata may appear publicly on GitHub and this website.

The Giscus script is loaded only after the reader explicitly uses the comments button. Before that action, the page does not load the comments iframe.

Legal basis and consent

Reading the website involves technical processing required to deliver its pages. For comments, Giscus is loaded only after you consent through the button shown before the comments area. You can continue reading without loading this feature.

Third parties and international transfers

GitHub and Giscus may process data outside Brazil according to their own policies and infrastructure. When using comments, consult the privacy policies of those services to understand their use of accounts, cookies, retention and international transfers.

Embedded media and external images

Some historical articles contain videos, posts or images hosted by third parties such as Facebook, YouTube and news organizations. When these resources are displayed, the external provider may receive technical information such as IP address, browser and referring page. This website limits referrer information and automatically removes social-media images with expired temporary addresses.

Retention

Comments may remain available while the corresponding GitHub discussion exists or while needed for moderation, editorial history, security or legal obligations. Infrastructure providers apply their own retention periods to technical logs.

Removal and moderation

Comments may be moderated, hidden or removed when they violate standards of civility, third-party rights, security, spam rules or legal requests. To request removal of your own comment, use the controls in your GitHub account or contact the website and include the comment link.

Your rights

Under Brazil's LGPD, you may request access, correction, deletion, information about sharing and objection to processing when applicable. Some comment data is controlled directly by GitHub, so certain requests may also need to be submitted there.

Contact

For privacy questions related to this website, contact the editorial administration of Globetrotter by Harold Emert and provide enough detail to identify the relevant content or page.
