Privacy policy

Summary

RisingTopics has no sign-up or login and does not ask for personal information to use the site. This page explains what little data is processed, why, and the choices you have.

Information we process

• Contact form: the name, email address and message you choose to send are used only to reply to you and are deleted within 180 days.
• Technical logs: our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) processes IP addresses and request data briefly to deliver pages and block attacks.
• Statistics: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not identify you.

Cookies and browser storage

The site saves a few settings only in your own browser (for example light/dark mode, language and favorites). They are never sent to us, and you can delete them at any time in your browser settings.

Advertising

This site may show ads served by Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before cookies are used for personalised advertising, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also manage choices at youronlinechoices.eu.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
