Scope of This Policy
This privacy policy describes how the Public Domain Literature Library (accessible at inesb.com) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or interact with the site. The site is an independent catalogue of public-domain literature and ebooks curated by the catalogue.
Information Collected Automatically
When you access the site, standard server logs record technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring pages, and the date and time of each request. This information is used for site administration, security monitoring, and to understand aggregate usage patterns. It is not linked to any personal identity beyond the session.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you send a message to editor@inesb.com, we receive the content of your message and any contact information you include. We use such communications solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add email addresses to any marketing list or share them with third parties.
If the site offers preference settings (for example, font size or display mode), those choices are stored locally on your device or in a session cookie and are not transmitted to us.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Essential Cookies
We may use cookies that are necessary for the basic operation of the site, such as remembering your session or accessibility preferences. These cookies do not track your activity across other sites.
Analytics
Where enabled, we use a privacy-respecting analytics service that collects anonymized data about page views, referral sources, and browsing patterns. This service may set cookies that do not identify you personally. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings or via any consent mechanism provided on the site.
Advertising
If advertising is displayed on the site, we or third-party advertising networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to deliver relevant ads and measure their performance. These technologies may collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide interest-based advertising. You can manage your preferences for such advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance or similar industry opt-out tools. Where Google advertising services are used, Google may set cookies and use data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, or advertising platforms) that have access to some of the data described above solely to perform their functions. They are contractually prohibited from using that data for any other purpose.
Data Retention
We retain server logs and analytics data for a period necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Communications are retained only as long as needed to address the matter.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure.
