Information We Receive Automatically
When you visit the Philosophy & Ethics Library, our server records routine technical information: your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the date and time of your request, and the pages you view. This data is used to diagnose technical issues, maintain security, and understand general usage patterns. It is not linked to any personal identity unless you choose to contact us.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you send us a message using the contact address provided on the site (editor@ufomy.com), we receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not add it to a marketing list or share it with third parties.
Site Preferences and Cookies
We may store small text files (cookies) on your device to remember your preferences, such as text size or display settings. These are functional cookies and do not track you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.
Analytics
Where enabled, we use a privacy-respecting analytics service that collects aggregated, non-personal data about page visits, referral sources, and browser types. This service does not use cookies that identify individual visitors. You may opt out of analytics by adjusting your browser’s do-not-track setting or using the consent controls described below.
Advertising
Some pages may display advertisements provided by Google and other third-party ad networks. These services may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about Google’s advertising practices and opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. We do not control the data collected by these third parties.
Third-Party Cookies and Web Beacons
Advertisers and analytics providers may set their own cookies or use web beacons (small transparent images) to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and whether you have interacted with an ad. This information is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not have access to or control over these technologies.
Purposes of Processing
We process personal data only for the following purposes: operating and securing the website, responding to your communications, improving the catalogue experience, and, where you have consented, delivering relevant advertisements. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Service Providers
We may engage limited service providers (such as hosting or analytics platforms) who have access to personal data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it. They are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain server logs and analytics data for a period necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Messages sent to our editorial address are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry and for legitimate archival purposes.
Your Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us at editor@ufomy.com. You may also adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, block third-party tracking, or enable do-not-track signals. Where consent is required for analytics or advertising, you may withdraw it at any time using the consent management tool available on the site.
Children’s Privacy
This catalogue is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete it.
External Links
The site contains links to external websites, including those of the original publishers or sources of the works. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.
International Access
This site is operated from Canada. If you access it from outside Canada, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. By using the site, you consent to this transfer.
