Privacy Policy

Holos Pravdy (holospravdy.com) is an open educational project of historical fact-checking. For privacy matters, write to privacy@holospravdy.com or use our contact form.

The site is static. We have no user accounts, we do not register visitors, we do not build profiles, and we do not sell any data. We do not collect personal data through our own forms or backend (there is none).

• Hosting technical logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The host, like any web server, may automatically record technical request data (IP address, browser type, time, requested page) for operation, abuse prevention, and security. These logs are processed by Cloudflare as the service provider.
• Browser local storage (localStorage). In your own browser we store only your selected theme (light/dark) and — if you have opted out of analytics — a technical opt-out flag. This data is not transmitted to us and does not leave your device.
• No first-party cookies. We do not set advertising or tracking cookies.
• Form data. If you submit a contact form or an error report, we process what you enter (the text of your message; optionally, an email for our reply). This data is used solely to handle your request and is not used for marketing.

Some resources are loaded from third-party services, so your browser sends them technical data (including your IP address):

• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com) — the site fonts. Data processing is governed by Google's privacy policy.
• YouTube / Google — only on video-source pages. The video preview image is loaded from i.ytimg.com (a Google domain) immediately. The full video player is loaded only after you click “play”, in enhanced privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com); only then can cookies be set and data processed on the YouTube/Google side.
• Cloudflare — hosting and delivery of the site.
• Resend (resend.com) — the email delivery service through which your form message reaches our editorial team. It processes only the data you submitted in the form.

The site uses its own first-party, cookie-free analytics. The data is stored on our infrastructure (Cloudflare), with no transfer to third-party analytics services.

We record anonymous page-view data: the page path, the referrer (where you came from), UTM parameters from the link, and an approximate country code. To count unique visitors we store a technical one-way fingerprint hash — an irreversible digest (SHA-256) of your IP address and browser type together with a secret key. We do not store your IP address itself; the fingerprint cannot be reversed to it or used to identify you, and serves only to de-duplicate the count.

We do not set cookies, do not track you across sites, and do not build behavioural profiles. Analytics events are kept no longer than needed for statistics. The analytics respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals: if your browser sends them, no data is collected; you can also disable analytics for your browser, in which case a local opt-out flag is stored in it.

For visitors from the EU/EEA (GDPR): the processing of technical logs and anonymous analytics is based on legitimate interest — ensuring the operation, security, and audience understanding of the site. The fingerprint hash used to count visitors is pseudonymous data: we cannot identify you from it and do not combine it with other data. Since we store a minimum of data, the ability to fulfil requests (access, rectification, erasure) is limited by the volume of data we actually hold. For any questions, contact privacy@holospravdy.com.

The site is not intended for children and does not knowingly collect their data.

We may update this policy. The current version is always available on this page, with the date of the update indicated.
