Welcome to Gazeta Japan. We are deeply committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring a secure browsing environment across our news portal. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, handle, store, and protect information within our platform using industry-standard security principles.
1. Information We Collect
We limit data collection to the absolute minimum required to deliver our journalistic content, support administrative functionalities, and maintain a seamless user experience.
Administrative Accounts: For authorized contributors, authors, and administrators, we collect names, email addresses, and encrypted authentication credentials to protect management access.
Local Article Drafts: To prevent data loss from accidental browser closures or connectivity drops, article progress and temporary media are cached locally within the content creator's own device. This data remains strictly client-side and is never transmitted to our remote infrastructure until the content is explicitly submitted for review or published.
Media Assets: Images and media attached to published articles are processed, optimized, and stored using secure remote cloud storage infrastructure.
2. Data Security and Infrastructure Hardening
We employ robust, industry-standard administrative and technical safeguards to keep all systems isolated and protected against unauthorized access:
Database Protection: Persistent platform configurations, account records, and published article metadata are handled in highly secure, isolated database environments. Access tokens and passwords undergo strong, one-way cryptographic hashing operations before storage, rendering them completely unreadable to third parties.
Cloud Storage and Distribution: Published news media and static assets are distributed globally via an isolated secure object storage architecture and an advanced content delivery network (CDN). This layout ensures optimal content delivery speeds while shielding media assets from direct server manipulation or unauthorized editing.
3. Cookies and Display Preferences
We do not engage in behavioral profiling, ad tracking, or invasive user monitoring. We utilize localized web storage strictly for core functionality:
Interface Customization: A lightweight preference token is stored locally to remember your display preference between Light Mode and Dark Mode. This exists solely to respect your visual choices across visits and operates entirely without server-side tracking.
4. Third-Party Service Categories
To maintain platform availability and security compliance, we partner exclusively with established infrastructure entities. Your information may be processed by:
Cloud Hosting Providers: To securely run our application services, API operations, and database infrastructure.
Content Delivery and Performance Networks: To serve optimized image assets, block malicious automated traffic, and mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attempts.
We enforce a strict policy against selling, trading, or renting personal data to third-party advertising or data brokerage corporations.
5. Your Rights and Data Control
As an anonymous reader consuming our public news feeds, no behavioral tracking profiles are generated or maintained by our system. For registered team members, you retain the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of your administrative profile data at any time by contacting the internal systems administrator.
6. Contact Information
If you have any questions or security inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy or general data practices within our platform, please reach out to our administrative operations team.
