Privacy policy

ORYX is committed to respecting the privacy of its readers. This privacy policy aims to inform visitors about the data that may be collected while browsing, the purposes of this processing and the rights available to them.

The site is published by a private individual, who also manages the data processing described below.

ORYX does not collect directly identifiable personal data without the user's explicit consent. Nevertheless, certain information may be collected automatically or provided voluntarily:

• Browsing data: anonymized IP address, device type, browser, language, pages viewed, visit duration and traffic origin, via Google Analytics 4.
• Email address: only when voluntarily subscribing to ORYX's newsletter.

No sensitive data relating to health, ethnic origin, political or religious opinions is collected.

ORYX uses Google Analytics 4, an audience measurement service provided by Google LLC, to understand how readers use the site and to improve the quality of the content offered.

Google Analytics 4 may set cookies or use similar technologies to collect information about browsing activity. IP addresses are anonymized prior to any processing. The data collected is aggregated and does not allow a visitor to be individually identified.

Tracking is only enabled on the production site. It is disabled in preview and development environments.

To learn more about privacy at Google, you can read Google's Privacy Policy.

The data collected is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Compiling anonymous statistics on site traffic and usage.
• Identifying the most useful content and improving the reading experience.
• Sending the newsletter to those who have voluntarily subscribed to it.
• Ensuring the security and proper technical operation of the site.

The data is never used for advertising purposes, commercial profiling or transfer to third parties.

Browsing data collected via Google Analytics 4 is retained for a maximum of 14 months. Email addresses collected as part of the newsletter are kept as long as the subscription is active, then deleted within a reasonable time after the unsubscribe request.
