Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices for GM‑RKB (Gabor Melli's Research Knowledge Base). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information that may be collected through your use of our platform. This policy complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act and explains our practices regarding information collection, use, and sharing.

Information We Collect

GM‑RKB is designed to minimize data collection. We do not intentionally collect personal information, and users are not required to create accounts or log in to access our knowledge base. However, as a MediaWiki-based system hosted on cloud-based servers, some technical information is automatically collected:

  • Server Logs: Our web servers automatically log technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring site, pages visited, and timestamp.
  • Cookies: MediaWiki uses essential cookies to maintain basic functionality.
  • User Contributions: If you choose to edit or contribute to the knowledge base (which is optional), the content you provide is stored on our servers.

How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used solely for:

  • Maintaining the technical operation and security of the website
  • Improving the functionality and performance of GM‑RKB
  • Analyzing aggregated usage patterns to enhance user experience
  • Preventing abuse and unauthorized access

We do not use automatically collected information to identify individual users, and we do not attempt to process personal data for marketing, profiling, or other purposes.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share any information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  • With trusted service providers (such as Amazon Web Services) who help us operate our website
  • When required by law or to respond to legal process
  • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights Under CCPA

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have certain rights regarding their personal information:

  • Right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold
  • Right to delete personal information held by businesses
  • Right to opt-out of the sale of personal information
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising CCPA rights

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. Because we do not intentionally collect personal information, most of these rights may not apply to your use of GM‑RKB.

Children's Privacy

GM‑RKB is not directed at children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy whenever you access GM‑RKB.
