The website currently does not require users to create an account, register, subscribe to a newsletter, or provide personal information in order to browse its content.

2. Information We Collect

CurOLO currently does not intentionally collect personal information from visitors through user accounts, registration forms, newsletter subscriptions, or other similar systems.

The website does not currently use analytics services, advertising networks, tracking pixels, or behavioral tracking tools.

Browser Storage
CurOLO uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferred website theme. The website stores a simple preference such as:

This information is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to CurOLO or used to identify you. You can remove this information at any time by clearing the stored data for the website through your browser settings.

CurOLO does not currently use sessionStorage.

3. Cookies

CurOLO does not currently set or use its own cookies. The website does not currently use cookies for analytics, advertising, behavioral tracking, or user profiling.

If this changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain the relevant cookies, their purposes, and how they are used.

4. Third-Party Services

CurOLO currently uses a limited number of third-party resources to provide certain website functionality.

Google Fonts
CurOLO uses Google Fonts to provide the website's typography, including the Cormorant Garamond and Inter typefaces. When these fonts are loaded, the visitor's browser requests the necessary font resources from Google's servers. CurOLO does not use Google Fonts for analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking.

Social Sharing
Some CurOLO articles include links that allow visitors to share content through third-party social platforms such as X/Twitter, Facebook, or WhatsApp. These sharing features are activated by the visitor. CurOLO does not send visitor information to these platforms independently of the visitor's interaction with the sharing feature. Once you leave CurOLO or interact directly with a third-party platform, that platform's own privacy policy and terms apply.

External References and Links
CurOLO articles may contain links to external websites, including scientific institutions, museums, educational organizations, publications, and other sources used for further reading. CurOLO does not control these external websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website you visit.

5. Dictionary and Educational Features

CurOLO includes an interactive dictionary that explains selected words and concepts within articles. The dictionary's definitions are provided through files and JavaScript that are part of the CurOLO website. The feature does not currently require visitors to submit words to an external service.

CurOLO may also use the browser's built-in speech synthesis functionality to allow certain text to be read aloud. These features are designed to improve accessibility and understanding without requiring visitors to create an account or submit personal information.

6. Contacting CurOLO

The CurOLO contact page provides an email link that allows visitors to contact CurOLO directly. If you choose to contact CurOLO by email, the information you include in your message, including your email address and any other information you voluntarily provide, may be received by CurOLO for the purpose of responding to your message.

Please avoid sending sensitive or unnecessary personal information.

7. How Information May Be Used

Because CurOLO currently has very limited data collection, information is generally processed only when necessary to:

• operate and maintain the website;
• remember your selected website theme;
• provide website functionality;
• respond to messages sent voluntarily by visitors;
• maintain the security and functionality of the website.

CurOLO does not currently sell, rent, or trade visitors' personal information.

8. Data Sharing

CurOLO does not currently sell or share visitors' personal information for behavioral advertising or profiling.

Information may be processed by third-party services when necessary to provide a service used by the website, such as loading web fonts or when a visitor voluntarily interacts with an external sharing or reference link.

Any future third-party services that materially affect visitor data or privacy will be reflected in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

9. Data Security

CurOLO takes reasonable measures to maintain the security and integrity of the website and to limit unnecessary collection of visitor information. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your information.

If you contact CurOLO regarding a privacy request, we may need enough information to understand and respond to your request. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable privacy or data protection law.

11. Children's Privacy

CurOLO is intended for a general audience and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

CurOLO does not currently require users to create accounts, submit personal information, or provide personal information to access its educational content.

If we introduce features that involve the collection of personal information from children or are specifically directed toward children, this Privacy Policy and the relevant privacy practices will be updated accordingly.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

CurOLO may update this Privacy Policy when the website's features, services, or data practices change. When changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated.
