Information We Collect

When you visit this catalogue, our servers automatically record routine technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring pages, and the date and time of each request. This data is collected for all visitors and is used to maintain and improve the site, diagnose technical issues, and analyse general usage patterns.

If you voluntarily send a message through the contact address provided on the site (editor@iitok.com), we receive the content of your message and the email address from which it was sent. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and do not add it to any mailing list or share it with third parties.

The site may store small pieces of data on your device, commonly known as cookies, to remember your preferences (such as text size or display settings) and to support the operation of certain features. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings.

Analytics and Advertising

Where enabled, this site uses a web analytics service to collect anonymised information about how visitors interact with pages. This service may set cookies and collect data such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, and the site that referred you. The analytics provider processes this data on our behalf and is contractually restricted from using it for any other purpose.

If advertising is displayed on the site, it may be provided by Google or other third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. This process is governed by the privacy policies of those networks. Where Google advertising services are used, Google may collect information about your browsing activity to deliver interest-based advertisements. You can learn about Google’s practices and opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page.

• To operate, maintain, and improve the catalogue and its features.

Data Sharing and Service Providers

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may share non-personal, aggregated data publicly or with partners for reporting or research purposes. We engage limited third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising platforms) who have access to personal data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are not permitted to use the data for any other purpose.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we collect against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain collected information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Server logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised. Contact messages are retained only until the inquiry is resolved unless a longer retention is requested or required.
