Privacy Policy

Draft publisher notice: the legal operator name and privacy arrangements still need confirmation before this site is submitted for advertising approval.

Last updated: 14 October 2026. This notice describes the current edition, not the data practices of the historical website.

Who operates this website

The publication is Topics on Earth. The responsible legal operator remains to be confirmed in this draft.

Temporary contact details: publisher@example.invalid is an example address and does not receive messages. A genuine contact address must replace it before advertising review.

Data used to deliver and protect the site

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Requests necessarily include technical information such as an IP address, requested URL, device or browser information and time of access. Cloudflare processes technical data to deliver the website and provide security. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its practices. This website has no visitor accounts, newsletter signup, public comments or contact-form database.

Search and browser storage

Search is performed in your browser against a local article index. The search term appears in the page URL and may be visible in browser history and the normal hosting request. We do not send search terms to a third-party search or analytics service. The site’s own code does not set cookies or use local storage. Hosting infrastructure may use necessary security mechanisms.

Email enquiries

If you email the publisher, your email service and the publisher’s email provider handle that message. The publisher may receive your address, message and attachments to answer the enquiry. Before finalising this notice, the operator must confirm its email provider, lawful basis and retention rules.

Advertising and analytics

This edition does not currently load AdSense, analytics, advertising pixels or social-media tracking widgets. No personalised advertising is currently served. Before advertising is enabled, this notice must identify the actual advertising providers, purposes, data used, legal basis and user controls. Where required, a Google-certified consent-management platform must be configured; a simple cookie popup is not a substitute.

Retention, sharing and international processing

The site does not keep an application-level visitor database. Technical hosting retention and international processing follow the provider’s applicable arrangements. The publisher must confirm any separate logging, email retention, processors and transfer safeguards before this draft notice is treated as final.

Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law and the processing involved, you may have rights to access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw any consent where consent is used. Contact the publisher to make a request. You may complain to your relevant data-protection authority, including the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

External websites and changes

Following an external source link opens another website with its own data practices. We will update this notice when the site’s practices change, including before advertising, analytics or forms are added.

Privacy & cookies

This edition does not load advertising, analytics, social tracking widgets or optional cookies. Search runs locally in your browser. Hosting security may use necessary technical data as described in our privacy policy.
