Privacy Policy

ManyPress ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website. ManyPress is operated from Sofia, Bulgaria, and is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as implemented under Bulgarian law.

1. Information We Collect

ManyPress does not require user accounts, registration, or login. We do not collect personal data such as names, email addresses, or payment information directly from users.

The limited information we may process includes:

• Language preference: Stored locally in your browser (localStorage) to remember your chosen display language. This data never leaves your device.
• Cookies from third-party services: Google AdSense may place cookies on your device to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements. These cookies are governed by Google's own privacy policy.
• Analytics data: We may use analytics tools that collect anonymized usage data such as pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, and approximate geographic location. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider may automatically collect standard server log information, including IP addresses, browser type, and referring URLs. This data is used solely for security and performance monitoring.

2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Where we process any personal data, our legal basis is:

• Legitimate interest: For server logs and security monitoring necessary to operate the website.
• Consent: For any non-essential cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data:

• Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Translate: For translating article content into multiple languages. Translation requests are processed through Google's servers.
• Google Gemini (AI): For rewriting article content. Article text is processed through Google's AI services. No user personal data is sent to these services.
• Vercel: Our hosting provider, which may process server logs and performance data.

4. Cookies

ManyPress itself stores your language preference in localStorage, which is not a cookie and is never transmitted to our servers. However, third-party services embedded on our site (such as Google AdSense) may set their own cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.

5. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data directly, there is minimal data to retain. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days for security purposes. Any analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. Third-party services retain data according to their own policies.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR

• Right of access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: Request limitation of how we process your data.
• Right to data portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw consent for cookie-based processing at any time.
