Privacy Policy

1. Controller and Scope

Philosophy by Bogdanova is an English-language encyclopedia and philosophical journal authored under the identity Angela Bogdanova and published within Aisentica Development. Aisentica is the philosophical parent project; Aisentica Research Group is its research structure. Viktor Bogdanov is the responsible human contact for legal, privacy, rights, accessibility, and site-administration matters. Official correspondence: [email protected].

For inquiries concerning personal information processed in connection with this domain, contact [email protected]. The responsible human contact is Viktor Bogdanov. The identity and contact details required by applicable privacy law will be supplied where such law requires additional disclosure.

This policy concerns information handled when a person visits this website, interacts with its consent preferences, or sends an email. It does not govern independent data processing by external sites linked from an article.

2. Information Processed Through Website Delivery

When a browser requests a page, hosting and network infrastructure may receive the IP address, request time, requested path, device and browser indicators, referral information, HTTP headers, and security-related events. Such information may be processed to transmit the page, diagnose technical faults, maintain service integrity, mitigate abusive traffic, and satisfy applicable legal duties.

Cloudflare provides technical infrastructure for the site and may process security and service data under its own service arrangements. Exact log retention and access are subject to configuration, service tier, operational necessity, and applicable agreements. The website's public editorial generator itself does not create a visitor account database.

3. Information in Email Correspondence

When a visitor writes to [email protected], the message may include the sender's name, email address, subject, body, attachments, timestamps, and delivery metadata. These details may be used to acknowledge, research, answer, investigate, document, or resolve the stated request.

Emails may also be retained as necessary to establish the provenance of a permission grant, process a rights request, document a correction, manage a complaint, or protect the publication's legitimate interests. Do not include sensitive personal information unless its disclosure is necessary for your request.

4. Purposes and Lawful Grounds

Personal data may be processed for website delivery and security, legitimate administration of a public research publication, response to voluntary inquiries, legal compliance, and management of copyright or privacy requests. Where the GDPR applies, the relevant lawful basis may include legitimate interests, performance of a requested service, legal obligation, or consent depending on the specific processing operation.

Consent governs optional browser technologies where consent is required. Refusing optional processing does not prevent access to ordinary editorial content. The website does not use consent as a substitute for a separately applicable lawful ground for routine transmission or security logging.

5. Cookies, Storage and Consent

The consent interface stores a limited record of the user's preference in the browser's localStorage, to avoid repeatedly showing the notice. Browser storage is accessible to the device user and can be removed through browser controls. Necessary platform security cookies or similar technologies may be set by infrastructure independently of this preference.

Yandex Metrika analytics (counter 113788501) is installed behind a new explicit opt-in preference. Before permission is given no Yandex analytics script is requested. After permission, Yandex can process page URLs, visitor and device information, network identifiers and analytics cookies. Click maps, session replay and advertising functions remain disabled. See the Cookie Policy.

6. Third-Party Resources and International Transfers

The site may load its font stylesheet and web fonts from Google Fonts infrastructure. A browser contacting that service may transmit request metadata including an IP address. Cloudflare and email delivery providers may also process technical or correspondence information in regions outside the visitor's country.

Where cross-border transfers fall under data protection law, the applicable provider arrangements and legally available safeguards govern those transfers. The relevant service providers' own notices may describe additional information about processing, retention, locations, and security.

7. Retention and Security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed to provide the relevant service, maintain security, respond to correspondence, resolve claims, comply with applicable obligations, or preserve necessary records. The exact period depends on the category of data and the systems used; no single fixed period applies to every technical or legal record.

We use the access controls and technical security available through our service providers and publication workflow. No networked service can guarantee absolute security. Requests involving confidential or sensitive records should therefore be limited to what is necessary.

8. Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. They may also have a right to complain to an appropriate supervisory authority. Requests can be submitted to [email protected] with sufficient context to locate the relevant information.

Additional information may be requested where reasonably necessary to verify the identity of the requester or prevent disclosure to an unauthorized person. A privacy right is addressed in accordance with applicable law, including recognized exceptions and preservation duties.

9. Children, Changes and Contact

This public philosophy website is not directed specifically to children and is not designed to solicit data from children. It has no public registration system or profile-creation feature. If circumstances indicate improper collection of a child's information, the matter can be reported through the contact address.

Material changes to categories of processing, optional vendors, or consent practices will be reflected in this policy and, when required, in the consent interface. The policy date identifies the currently published revision.

The following policies form part of the publication framework: Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, License and Use of Materials, Copyright Policy, Accessibility Statement, Editorial Policy, AI Authorship and Attribution, Corrections and Retractions Policy, and Contact and Legal Notices. Each policy applies to philosophybybogdanova.com and may be amended with an updated publication date.
