This notice explains what GBR24 collects when you use http://localhost:3000, why we collect it, and the choices you have. The publisher responsible for this site is GBR24, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

What we collect

We keep as little as the site needs to work:

  • Comments — the name you type, your email address and your comment. The name and comment are shown publicly; your email address is never published and is used only to contact you about your comment.
  • Contact form messages — your name, email address, subject and message.
  • Readership figures — a count of how many times each article was read on each day. These are totals only; they are not tied to you.
  • Advertising figures — how many times an ad slot was shown or clicked, again as daily totals.
  • Technical records — when you post a comment or send a message we store a one-way hash of your IP address to block spam and abuse. The address itself is not stored.

Why we may do this

We publish comments and answer messages because you asked us to. We keep spam controls and readership totals because a site cannot be run safely or sensibly without them. Where a cookie or third-party service is not strictly necessary, we ask for your consent first and you can withdraw it at any time.

Cookies

The site sets a cookie to remember your privacy choice, and a login cookie for newsroom staff. Anything beyond that — analytics or advertising — loads only after you agree. The Cookie Policy lists each one, and you can change your mind at any time on the privacy settings page.

Who else is involved

We use service providers to run the site: a hosting provider, a database provider and an image delivery service. If analytics or advertising is switched on and you have agreed to it, those providers receive the data their service needs to function. We do not sell your personal information.

How long we keep things

Comments stay while the article is published. Messages sent through the contact form are kept while they are being dealt with and archived afterwards. Readership and advertising totals are aggregate figures and are kept indefinitely.

Your choices

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — including your comments. Write to gbr24g@gmail.com and we will respond as quickly as we can.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent us something, write to us and we will remove it.

Changes

If this notice changes we will update this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated notice.
