This Privacy Policy explains how ExtremeWrites and services used by the website may process information when you visit, change a preference, follow a link, send an email, or submit writing.
Information handled when you visit
ExtremeWrites is a static website, but its hosting and delivery infrastructure may automatically create standard server and security logs. Depending on the provider and request, these logs may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages or files requested
- Date and time information
- Referring page or website
- Request status, error, and security information
This information may be processed to deliver pages, diagnose errors, maintain availability, prevent fraud or automated abuse, protect the website, and comply with valid legal requests where applicable.
Cookies and similar browser technologies
The website uses or can interact with cookies and similar browser technologies. The current translate.js integration uses browser storage for language preferences and may communicate with external free translation endpoints when a visitor requests translation. Google advertising technology is also included in the website and may use cookies or similar identifiers for ad delivery, frequency control, fraud prevention, measurement, and personalization where legally permitted and consented to.
For more detail and browser controls, read the Cookie Policy.
Local browser storage and preferences
The website uses browser localStorage to remember device-level preferences. Current source code includes storage for:
- The selected reading or translation language
- A selected country for browsing
- Light or dark display preference
- Grid or list archive view preference
These values normally remain in the browser until you change them, clear site data, use private-browsing controls, or the browser removes them. They are used to provide the requested interface and do not create a ExtremeWrites reader account.
Translation services
The Read in Your Language feature uses a self-hosted copy of translate.js and external free translation endpoints. When you request translation, the provider may receive page text, browser and device information, IP address, cookie information, and technical request data needed to provide and secure the service.
Translations are machine generated and may be inaccurate. The selected free translation provider processes requests under its own privacy terms. You can return to Original Language, block external translation requests, or clear local browser data, although doing so may disable translated reading.
Advertising services
The website includes a Google advertising script and an advertising publisher identifier. Google and its advertising partners may process IP address, browser and device information, page and interaction data, cookies, or similar identifiers to deliver and secure advertising, control frequency, measure performance, and personalize ads where permitted.
An advertisement may not appear on every page or visit. Advertising providers control their own technology and privacy practices. Browser settings, content blockers, regional requirements, and provider controls may affect whether advertising loads.
Search
Website search uses a Pagefind index generated from published pages. Search runs in the browser rather than sending a query to a dedicated ExtremeWrites search server. A search term can appear in the page URL, so it may be included in browser history, copied links, referrer information, or standard hosting logs when the search page is requested.
Contact emails and writing submissions
If you email ExtremeWrites , the information you voluntarily provide may include your name, email address, message, affected URLs, attachments, rights information, or technical details. A writing submission may also include the writer’s name, work title, original language, country, category, summary, full text, images, and ownership confirmation.
This information may be used to:
- Respond to questions and support requests
- Review corrections, privacy enquiries, and copyright complaints
- Review, edit, accept, reject, publish, or remove submitted writing
- Maintain necessary editorial and rights records
- Detect spam, fraud, abuse, or security threats
- Meet applicable legal obligations and respond to valid legal requests
Do not send passwords, banking information, payment-card details, or unnecessary highly sensitive personal information.
Newsletter and other forms
The footer newsletter control is currently a preview and does not transmit or subscribe the entered email address. Search and book-recommendation controls operate in the browser. If a working subscription, account, or server-side form is introduced, this policy should be updated before that collection begins.
External links and third-party services
The website links to social networks, the configured community forum, tools, and other third-party destinations. It also loads third-party translation and advertising scripts. Third parties may collect information under their own privacy policies when their pages, scripts, or services load. ExtremeWrites does not control their independent privacy, security, retention, or cookie practices.
Retention
Browser preferences remain on your device as described above. Hosting, email, editorial, copyright, and security records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, to resolve disputes, protect rights and security, maintain accurate publishing records, or meet applicable legal obligations. Retention can vary by record and service provider.
Security
Reasonable measures can reduce risk, but no website, email system, browser storage, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Provide only the information needed for your request and keep your own copies of submitted work.
Children’s privacy
The website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children through an account service. A parent or guardian who believes a child has sent personal information can request review or deletion using the contact method below, subject to verification and applicable law.
International users
ExtremeWrites is available internationally. Hosting, advertising, translation, email, and other service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Privacy protections and access by authorities may differ by location. Third-party providers describe their own international processing in their policies.
Your privacy choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be able to:
- Use the original-language site without requesting translation
- Block or delete cookies and clear local browser storage
- Use browser privacy, tracking-protection, permission, or advertising controls
- Avoid following external links or loading optional third-party services
- Ask about information you voluntarily emailed or request an appropriate correction or deletion
- Object to or restrict certain processing where the law provides that right
Some choices can limit translation, saved preferences, advertising, or other website functions. Requests may require reasonable verification and may be subject to lawful retention obligations.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, its services, or applicable requirements change. The updated date at the top will identify the current version.
Privacy contact
For privacy questions or requests, email wajeehaiqbal804@gmail.com . Include enough information to understand the request, but do not send passwords, banking information, payment-card details, or unnecessary identity documents.
