Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

HistoryVersus collects minimal data to provide our service. When you submit a comment, we collect your chosen nickname, optional email address, and comment content. We store a hashed version of your IP address for spam prevention.

2. How We Use Your Data

• Comments are publicly displayed with your nickname (email is never shown).
• IP hashes are used solely for spam and abuse prevention.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.
• We do not use tracking cookies or advertising profiles.

3. Cookies

Our admin panel uses a session cookie for authentication. No tracking or advertising cookies are set on public pages. No consent banner is required under GDPR as we do not process personal data beyond what is strictly necessary for site functionality.

4. Data Retention

Comments are retained indefinitely unless you request removal. IP hashes are retained for spam detection purposes. You may request deletion of your comments and associated data by contacting us.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data. You may withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address listed on our Contact page.

6. Third-Party Services

Our site is hosted on infrastructure that may collect standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamp) for operational purposes. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracking services.
