Information we collect
When you visit a public page, we record the page path, visit time, referring page, source tag, device category, and IP address for basic analytics and security.
Your browser stores a random visitor identifier named tfa_visitor_id. It is hashed before being stored on our server. Session storage may retain a Xiaohongshu or Toutiao source tag and is normally cleared when the session ends.
When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, reply email, topic, message, language, and submission time. A hashed identifier derived from the source IP is also stored to limit abuse. Our current public pages do not require an account or payment information.
How information is used
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site
- Understand whether content is being found and read
- Detect unusual traffic, abuse, and security issues
- Respond to corrections, partnerships, and privacy requests
Sharing and third-party services
We do not sell information that directly identifies you. Providers supporting hosting, operations, and security may process necessary information. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the site and others.
When advertising is enabled, the site loads Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads under their own policies. External source links are governed by the destination site's privacy policy.
Storage and retention
The local visitor identifier remains in your browser until you clear site data. Retention periods for server visit records and form messages depend on analytics, security, operations, follow-up, and legal needs. We review whether continued retention is necessary and delete or de-identify records when they are no longer needed.
Your choices and rights
You can clear local storage, session storage, and cookies through your browser, and manage ad personalization through browser or Google settings. Restricting these technologies may affect some features or advertising.
Where applicable law provides these rights, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information related to you, or object to specific processing. Use the contact page and provide enough detail for us to locate the relevant records.
Security and children
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online transmission or storage method is completely secure. The site is intended for a general audience, is not directed to children, and does not knowingly ask children for personal information.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when site features or legal requirements change. Material updates will be identified on this page with a new effective date.
Privacy questions can be submitted through the contact page by choosing “Privacy or data.”
