Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the International Treaty Law Wiki ("we", "us", "the site") handles information. We are committed to maximum privacy and collect as little personal data as possible.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Browsing without an account

When you visit the site without logging in, we do not intentionally collect personal information such as your name or email.

Our hosting provider may automatically store basic technical data in server logs:

IP address
Date and time of access
Requested pages
Browser type and version
Referring URL (if any)

This information is used only for security, abuse prevention, and technical operation.

1.2 User accounts

If you create an account, we store:

Username (chosen by you)
Password hash (never the plain password)
Email address (optional)
Preferences and settings

Your username and contributions may be publicly visible. Choose a pseudonym if you want to remain anonymous.

1.3 Edits and contributions

All edits are stored permanently and may be publicly visible, including:

Page content
Edit summaries
Timestamps
Username or IP address (if editing anonymously)

This is required for transparency and the integrity of the wiki.

2. Cookies

We use only minimal, technically necessary cookies:

Login sessions
Basic preferences
Anti‑spam protection (e.g., CAPTCHA)

We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking.

3. Analytics and Tracking

We do not use:

Google Analytics
Third‑party trackers
Advertising scripts

Any traffic analysis is based only on anonymous server logs.

4. Third‑Party Services

We may use limited third‑party services strictly for security and functionality:

CAPTCHA (spam protection)
Hosting provider infrastructure

These services may receive technical data such as your IP address. We do not sell or share your data.

5. Data Retention

Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and legal compliance.
User accounts and edits are part of the permanent wiki history.
We generally cannot remove individual edits unless legally required.

6. Your Choices

You may:

Browse without an account
Use a pseudonymous username
Avoid providing an email address
Avoid posting personal information

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the site. You are responsible for:

Using a strong password
Keeping your login credentials safe
Logging out on shared devices

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated. The latest version will always be available on this page.
