Biography Wiki:Privacy policy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Biography Wiki collects from visitors and account holders, how it is used, and how to reach us about it.
Information We Collect
Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical information for every visit, including IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages requested. This information is used for security, abuse prevention, and basic traffic measurement, and is not sold or shared with advertisers.
If you register an account, we collect the username, password (stored in hashed form), and email address you provide. Account registration on Biography Wiki requires approval; see About Biography Wiki for why.
If you contact us through the site's email or contact form, we collect the message content and the return address you provide in order to respond.
Cookies and Analytics
Biography Wiki uses a small number of functional cookies to support logged-in sessions and site preferences. We use privacy-focused web analytics that does not rely on third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking, and we do not run advertising networks or ad-tracking pixels on this site.
How Information Is Used
Technical logs and analytics data are used to keep the site running, secure, and reasonably fast, and to understand which articles are read. Account information is used to operate registered-user features (editing, notifications, and email contact) and is not used for marketing.
Sharing
We do not sell visitor or account information. We may disclose information if required by law, to respond to a valid legal request, or to protect the security of the site and its users.
Third-Party Links
Articles link to outside sources for verification. Biography Wiki is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites linked from our articles; review their own policies before providing information to them.
Data Retention and Removal
Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operational purposes. If you have a registered account and want it removed, or you want to ask what data we hold about you, contact us using the method below.
Children's Privacy
Biography Wiki is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
