1. About This Policy

Zunalita is an open-source news and media website focused on accessible, lightweight, and community-driven content.

This Policy applies to the Zunalita website and related pages. Some third-party services used to host, deliver, secure, or measure the website may have their own privacy policies.

2. Information We Collect

Zunalita does not intentionally collect unnecessary personal information. However, some technical information may be processed when you access the website.

This may include:

  • IP address;
  • Browser type and version;
  • Device and operating system information;
  • Pages visited and request metadata;
  • Approximate geographic region;
  • Referral source;
  • Security, abuse-prevention, and server logs.

If Zunalita adds optional features such as accounts, comments, newsletters, submissions, or login systems, additional information may be collected only as needed to provide those features.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

  • Operate and maintain the website;
  • Improve performance, content, and user experience;
  • Protect against spam, abuse, attacks, and fraud;
  • Debug technical errors;
  • Measure basic traffic and usage patterns;
  • Comply with legal obligations when required.

We do not sell personal data to advertisers, brokers, or third parties.

Some data processing may be necessary for the website to function, such as security logs, hosting requests, and infrastructure delivery.

Optional analytics or preference-based features may depend on your consent. You may allow or reject optional analytics on the Privacy Choices page.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time. Essential technical processing may still occur when required to operate, secure, or deliver the website.

5. Third-Party Services

Zunalita may rely on third-party providers to host, secure, deliver, analyze, or improve the website.

These may include:

  • Hosting providers;
  • Content delivery networks;
  • Analytics tools;
  • Security and anti-abuse services;
  • Repository and collaboration platforms.

These providers may process technical information under their own terms and privacy policies. Zunalita cannot fully control how third-party infrastructure providers process data once it reaches their systems.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

Zunalita may use cookies, local storage, or similar browser technologies to remember preferences, store privacy choices, maintain sessions, or support basic website functionality.

You may disable cookies or clear local storage in your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly.

7. Analytics

Zunalita may use lightweight analytics to understand general website usage, such as page views and basic traffic patterns.

Analytics are used to improve the website, not to sell personal data or build invasive profiles across unrelated websites.

You can manage optional analytics preferences at Privacy Choices.

8. Data Retention

Technical logs and operational information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for security, debugging, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or infrastructure reliability.

Retention periods may vary depending on the provider, service, or legal requirement involved.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the website from unauthorized access, abuse, alteration, or disruption.

However, no website, platform, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the website at your own risk.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights related to your personal information, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent.

Because Zunalita minimizes direct data collection, we may not always have enough information to identify or associate technical records with a specific person.

Privacy-related requests may be submitted through the official Zunalita project channels or repository.

11. Children’s Privacy

Zunalita is not directed toward children under the age required by applicable laws in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where prohibited by law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above.

Continued use of Zunalita after changes are published means you acknowledge the updated Policy.

13. Contact

If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy, contact Zunalita through the official project channels or repository.
