Information We Receive Automatically

When you visit the catalogue, our server records routine technical details: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, and the date and time of each request. This information is used to diagnose technical issues, maintain security, and understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not combine this data with other sources to identify individual visitors except when necessary to investigate a security incident or a violation of our terms.

Information You Voluntarily Provide

If you send a message through the contact link, we receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add your address to a mailing list or share it with third parties. You may also choose to set site preferences (for example, a preferred view or display option); those preferences are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us unless you submit them as part of a voluntary action.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar storage technologies for the operation of the catalogue. A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. We use session cookies to keep you logged in if you create an account (where such a feature is available) and persistent cookies to remember your preferences. Where enabled, we may also use analytics cookies from a third-party service to collect anonymous statistics about how visitors use the site. These analytics cookies do not identify you personally. If advertising is displayed on the site, third-party ad networks may place their own cookies or web beacons to serve relevant advertisements and to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns. These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective ad networks.

Google Advertising Services

Where Google advertising services are displayed, Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data and how to control your ad preferences at Google’s privacy policy page. We do not control Google’s data collection or use.

Purposes of Processing

We process the information described above for the following purposes: to operate and improve the catalogue, to communicate with you if you contact us, to protect the security and integrity of the site, to comply with legal obligations, and, where you have consented, to serve personalized advertising. We rely on legitimate interests for server logs and security, on contractual necessity for voluntary communications, and on consent where required by law for cookies and advertising.

Service Providers

We may engage third-party service providers to host the catalogue, process payments (if applicable), analyse usage, or serve advertisements. These providers have access to only the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Data Security

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

Data Retention

We retain server logs for a limited period necessary for the purposes described above, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Voluntary messages are retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry and for any subsequent record-keeping required by law. Cookie retention periods vary; you can view and manage cookie lifetimes in your browser settings.

Your Choices and Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. You may also object to processing or request restriction of processing in certain circumstances. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the catalogue. You can also set your browser to send a Do Not Track signal; we honour such signals where technically feasible.

Consent Controls

Where cookies require consent, we display a notice asking for your permission before placing non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through the consent management tool available on the site.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. Parents or guardians who believe their child has submitted personal data should contact us.

External Links

The catalogue contains links to external websites, including the original source texts and related resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit.

International Access

The catalogue is hosted in the United States and may be accessed from countries around the world. If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the catalogue, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing in accordance with this policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page, and if the changes are material, we will provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of the catalogue after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
