Privacy Policy
This policy explains how ReadScope handles personal data when visitors use the website, calculators, and editorial pages. The policy is written in a GDPR-style format for clarity and operational transparency.
1. Data we process
We process limited technical information required to deliver pages, maintain security, and understand aggregate site usage. This may include device type, browser information, referring page, approximate region, and page interactions such as calculator use.
We do not require account creation to access the tools. If you submit information through a website form, that information is processed only for the purpose clearly presented at the time of submission.
2. Lawful basis
ReadScope relies on legitimate interest for basic security logging, site maintenance, and performance analysis. Where non-essential cookies or analytics tools are used, consent is requested through the cookie notice. Visitors may withdraw consent by adjusting browser controls or clearing stored preferences.
3. Cookies and local storage
The website uses cookies or comparable local storage mechanisms to remember basic preferences, including whether the cookie banner has been dismissed. These technologies may also support aggregate measurement of page performance and feature usage.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may reduce convenience, though core reading tools should remain accessible.
4. Data retention
Technical logs are retained only for the period reasonably necessary to investigate faults, abuse, or service issues. Aggregated analytics data may be kept longer where it no longer identifies individual visitors. Form submissions, if any, are retained only for the period needed to respond and complete the underlying request.
5. Data sharing
ReadScope may use hosting, analytics, or infrastructure providers that process data on our behalf under contractual safeguards. We do not sell personal data. We may disclose information where required by law, to protect site security, or to investigate misuse.
6. International transfers
Where service providers operate outside your jurisdiction, data may be transferred under lawful transfer mechanisms designed to protect personal information. We aim to work with providers that offer appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
7. Your rights
- Request access to personal data concerning you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion where retention is no longer justified.
- Object to certain processing based on legitimate interest.
- Withdraw consent for optional cookies where applicable.
For privacy-related questions, use the contact form on this page. Please provide enough detail for the request to be understood and verified.
8. Policy updates
This policy may be revised when site features, legal obligations, or service providers change. The updated version becomes effective when published on this page.
