Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Philosophy

Scientia Nexus is built with privacy as a core design principle. We believe you should be able to explore science without being tracked. Our site does not use cookies for advertising or tracking by default.

What We Collect

Nothing by default. Unlike most websites, we don't track you across pages, build profiles, or sell your data.

• No analytics cookies: We don't use Google Analytics or similar services by default.
• No advertising trackers: Our pages contain no advertising or tracking pixels.
• No account system: We don't require accounts, so we don't store your personal information.

Analytics Option

We provide an opt-in anonymous analytics toggle in our site header. When enabled, we collect basic usage data to help us improve the site:

• Which pages are most visited
• How long visitors spend on pages
• What devices and browsers people use

This data is:

• Anonymous (no IP addresses, no personal identifiers)
• Aggregated (we see totals, not individual users)
• Not shared with third parties
• Stored on our own servers, not in cloud analytics services

Server Logs

Like any website, our servers temporarily log standard information when you visit:

• Request timestamp
• Requested page
• Browser type and operating system
• Referring URL

These logs are used for debugging, security, and operational purposes. They are automatically purged after a short period and are not used for tracking or profiling.

Third-Party Links

Our content links to external resources (academic papers, government databases, etc.). When you click these links, you leave our site and are subject to those sites' privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies before providing any information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our site evolves. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. If we make significant changes, we'll announce them on the site.
