Privacy and Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

The Arise Nutrint Research Archive (“we”, “our”, “the Archive”) respects the privacy of its visitors. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit arisenutrint.eu, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related ePrivacy directives.

2. Information We Collect (Analytics)

As a static academic repository, we do not require user registration, nor do we collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, addresses, or phone numbers directly through forms.

However, to understand how researchers use our archive and to improve our repository’s structure, we utilize Google Analytics. This third-party service collects anonymous telemetry data, which may include:

  • Browser type and operating system.
  • Time and date of visit.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on the site.
  • Generalized geographic location (anonymized IP addresses).

3. Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. We use cookies exclusively for analytical purposes:

  • Performance & Analytics Cookies: Placed by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates. These cookies do not identify you personally.

By continuing to navigate our archive, you consent to the use of these analytical cookies. You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Our methodological frameworks and articles may contain outbound links to third-party academic databases (e.g., PubMed, DOI.org, institutional websites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. Once you leave our archive, their respective privacy policies apply.

5. Data Retention and Security

Because we operate as a static repository via secure protocols (HTTPS), we do not maintain a dynamic database of user accounts. The anonymized statistical data held within Google Analytics is retained only as long as necessary for historical performance review and is secured by Google’s standard data protection protocols.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, European residents have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data. Since we only hold aggregated, anonymized analytics data, we cannot identify individual users to delete specific records. However, if you have concerns regarding our data practices, you may contact the archive administrator.
