Introduction
AVM Unni Archives ("we", "our", or "the archive") operates the website https://avmunniarchives.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how that information is used, and the choices available to you. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information to read material on the archive. The information we receive falls into the following categories:
- Server log data — Standard web-server logs containing your IP address, user-agent string, referring URL and timestamps of requests. This is used to operate the site and to detect abuse.
- Analytics data — Anonymised page-view and session information collected via Google Analytics (see below).
- Advertising identifiers — Cookies and similar identifiers placed by Google AdSense to deliver and measure advertisements (see below).
- Information you choose to send us — If you write to us via the contact page, we receive the name, email address and message content you provide.
How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain and secure the website;
- Understand which articles and collections readers find most valuable, so we can prioritise digitisation work;
- Display advertising through Google AdSense in order to cover hosting and maintenance costs;
- Respond to messages sent to us through the contact page;
- Comply with applicable law and respond to good-faith takedown or correction requests from rights-holders.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser. The archive uses cookies for analytics (to count unique visitors and recognise returning ones) and for advertising (to limit the frequency with which the same ad is shown, and to measure ad performance). You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so will not prevent you from reading articles on the site.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on certain pages of the archive. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Specifically:
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
- For more on how Google uses information from this and other sites, see Google's privacy & terms.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage. Google Analytics collects information such as how often visitors visit the site, what pages they view, and what other sites they used prior to coming here. We use this information only to improve the archive. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit, rather than your name or other identifying information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Children's privacy
The archive is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention
Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and abuse-prevention purposes. Analytics data retention is governed by Google's defaults. Messages sent via the contact form are retained only as long as needed to respond to the enquiry.
External links
Articles on the archive may contain links to external sites operated by third parties — for example, the websites of the original source publications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies separately.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the contact page.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page indicates when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the site.
