3) Intellectual property and limited license

The materials on the Website are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws except where expressly indicated.

The Website may link to third-party sites or use third-party services for hosting, analytics, advertising, anti-spam protection, comments, newsletter delivery, media, or other functions.

2) Information we collect

Historia Mundum may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, comment text, reply target, newsletter choice, language, page URL, article title, contact message, and any other information you choose to submit. If you post a comment, the display name and comment text may be published after moderation.

Historia Mundum may collect technical and usage information automatically, including IP address, device and browser information, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from technical data, cookie or similar identifiers, interaction events, anti-spam tokens, security logs, and timing or honeypot fields used to detect automated abuse.

3) How we use information

Historia Mundum uses information to operate and secure the Website, publish and moderate comments, prevent spam and abuse, respond to messages, administer newsletter subscriptions and unsubscribe requests, send newsletters when you ask to receive them, measure readership and technical performance, improve content and usability, maintain records, enforce the terms, and comply with legal obligations.

Where privacy laws require a legal basis, Historia Mundum relies on one or more of consent, legitimate interests in operating and securing a publishing website, performance of a service you request, compliance with legal obligations, and protection of rights, safety, and security.

4) Cookies, analytics, advertising, and anti-spam tools

Historia Mundum uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember technical preferences, measure traffic, support advertising where enabled, and protect forms from abuse. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, but some Website features may not work properly.

Historia Mundum may use third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare Turnstile, comment infrastructure, newsletter delivery tools, hosting providers, CDN providers, and security/logging tools. These providers may process personal information according to their own policies when they provide services to Historia Mundum or when you interact with their features. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

5) Comments

When you submit a comment, Historia Mundum may collect the information needed to review, moderate, publish, and manage that comment, including name, email address, comment text, article/page information, language, reply target if applicable, IP address, anti-spam data, and security logs. Your name and comment text may be visible publicly if the comment is approved. Your email address is used for moderation, administration, abuse prevention, and possible follow-up, and is not intentionally displayed as part of the public comment.

6) Newsletters

If newsletter signup is available and you choose to subscribe, Historia Mundum may collect information such as your email address, name if provided, language or list selection, consent or confirmation status, subscription source, and email delivery interactions such as confirmations, unsubscribes, bounces, opens, or clicks where supported by the newsletter tool. Historia Mundum uses this information to send and manage the newsletter, maintain suppression or unsubscribe records, and measure newsletter performance. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe method in the email.

7) Sharing and international transfers

Historia Mundum does not sell personal information collected directly by it. Historia Mundum may share information with service providers that help run the Website, including hosting, CDN, analytics, advertising, anti-spam, comment, newsletter, email, security, and technical-support providers. Historia Mundum may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate abuse, or in connection with a restructuring of the Website or its operations.

Because the Website is available internationally, information may be processed in countries other than your own. Those countries may have data-protection laws different from those where you live. Where required, Historia Mundum uses appropriate safeguards or relies on lawful transfer mechanisms.

8) Retention

Historia Mundum keeps personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Comments may remain for as long as the related page or discussion remains published unless removed earlier. Newsletter records are kept while you are subscribed and for a reasonable period afterward to honor unsubscribe, suppression, audit, or legal requirements. Security logs, anti-spam records, analytics data, and server logs are kept for limited periods based on operational, security, legal, and technical needs.

9) Your choices and rights

You may contact Historia Mundum to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent where those requests are recognized by Brazilian data-protection law. You may unsubscribe from newsletters at any time. You may also disable cookies through your browser. Historia Mundum may need information to verify and process a request, and some information may be retained where required or permitted for security, legal, recordkeeping, or legitimate operational reasons. Historia Mundum will handle privacy requests according to Brazilian law.

10) Children

The Website is not directed to children under 16. If you believe a child provided personal information through comments, newsletter signup, or another feature without appropriate permission, contact Historia Mundum so the request can be reviewed and the information deleted where appropriate.

11) Security

Historia Mundum uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12) Changes and contact

Historia Mundum may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version applies when you use the Website. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date or posting an updated version. For questions or requests about this Privacy Policy, contact [email protected].
