Technical Data Needed to Deliver designarticles.org
Like virtually every website, the servers that host designarticles.org process the technical information that your browser sends with each request, for example your IP address, the page requested, the date and time and the type of browser and device. This processing delivers pages to you, keeps designarticles.org secure and available and protects designarticles.org against abuse, on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website. The data is not used to identify or profile you, is not combined with other data about you and is kept only for as long as these purposes make necessary.
Images and Content from Other Servers
Project images of the social, sustainable product, cultural heritage and other designs shown on Design Articles, as well as other images, visuals and data, may be loaded directly from external third-party servers, such as content delivery networks. Such third-party services may potentially have their own terms and conditions as well as privacy policies that may apply.
Advertising
To support the work that goes into Design Articles, advertisements are displayed on designarticles.org, delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the advertising solution provider of Design Articles. Massive Outreach Ads Network is privacy-first and does not track you, does not collect your personal information and respects your privacy. As a result, advertisements on Design Articles are not based on profiles of your browsing behavior.
Forms and Third-Party Services
When you use the Design Articles Submit Design page, the Design Articles Newsletter page or the Design Articles Encyclopedia page, you type your details (for example a name, surname and e-mail address, or a search term) into a page of designarticles.org, and Design Articles then forwards you automatically to the website of the relevant service, passing along what you typed so that you do not have to type it again. Design Articles uses this information only to forward you and for no other purpose. From the moment you arrive on the destination website, that service processes your information under the privacy notice of that service, which you are strongly encouraged to read. Moreover, each of these sites may have its own, additional terms and conditions.
