Effective Date: [May 1st, 2025]
At Cyberalertica, your privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we may collect, how we use and safeguard that information, and your rights regarding your data. By using this website, you consent to the terms described in this policy.
Who We Are
Cyberalertica is a cybersecurity news and analysis platform focused on delivering reliable, up-to-date coverage on the latest cyber threats, vulnerabilities, privacy issues, and digital security trends. We strive to inform and empower readers—from security professionals to the general public—with accurate and actionable content. Our services are accessible globally and not limited to any specific geographical region.
Information We Collect
When you visit or interact with Cyberalertica, we may collect certain types of information to enhance user experience and ensure the effective functioning of the site.
This includes:
- Personal information you voluntarily provide (such as name and email when subscribing to a newsletter or contacting us).
- Non-personal information collected automatically via cookies, analytics tools, and other technologies (such as your IP address, device information, pages viewed, browser type, and referring URLs).
We do not collect sensitive personal data unless explicitly provided by the user through direct communication.
How We Use the Information
The information we collect from users, whether provided directly or gathered through automated means, is used to support and enhance the operation of our website, improve user experience, and fulfill our editorial and business purposes. Primarily, we use this data to ensure the website functions efficiently across different devices and browsers, allowing us to deliver our content in a way that is responsive, accessible, and technically optimized.
We also analyze user engagement patterns to understand how our content is being consumed. This helps us refine the editorial focus of our articles, prioritize security topics of interest, and optimize the layout, navigation, and accessibility of the site. The insights we gain from this analysis enable us to better serve the informational needs of our audience while also maintaining a secure and stable user environment.
In cases where users provide personal information, such as subscribing to our newsletter or submitting contact forms, we use that data solely for the purpose for which it was provided. This may include sending you cybersecurity news updates, responding to editorial inquiries, or providing information related to your communication with us. All such correspondence is handled respectfully, and you may opt out of communications at any time.
Advertising also plays a role in supporting our website. While we do not sell your personal information, we may use certain technical and contextual data—such as device type, approximate location, and general usage behavior—to display relevant ads or affiliate links. These advertisements are served through trusted third-party partners who may use cookies or similar technologies, always governed by their respective privacy policies.
Lastly, we use collected information to maintain the security and integrity of the website. This includes monitoring for unusual traffic patterns, protecting against unauthorized access or potential cyber threats, and ensuring compliance with applicable legal requirements. In certain limited cases, such as to investigate security incidents or comply with legal obligations, we may retain or review technical data to assist in these efforts.
In all use cases, we are committed to handling your data responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with data protection laws that govern user privacy.
Cookies and Analytics
Cyberalertica uses cookies and similar technologies to optimize performance, deliver content, and analyze traffic. These cookies may collect information about your usage patterns and preferences. You may choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not function properly as a result.
We also utilize third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to measure engagement and track anonymized usage metrics. These services may store cookies on your device to gather standard internet log information and visitor behavior.
Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
To support our editorial efforts, we may display advertising links. Ads served on the site may use cookies or similar tracking technologies by third-party ad partners. These services may collect anonymized user data to deliver targeted ads based on your browsing behavior.
In some cases, we may include affiliate links to cybersecurity tools or services. If you make a purchase through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Any such links will be clearly disclosed in the content.
Third-Party Services
We may partner with third-party service providers for hosting, email delivery, analytics, advertising, or other operational services. These providers may have access to limited personal data strictly for the purpose of fulfilling their functions on our behalf. We require all such partners to handle your data in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Please note that external websites linked on our site, including advertisers and affiliates, operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party websites.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no system is completely immune to breaches. Users are encouraged to exercise caution when sharing sensitive data and to use secure networks and updated browsers while accessing our site.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we discover that such data has been collected, we will promptly delete it.
International Users and Legal Basis for Processing
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the processing of your personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal bases for our data processing include user consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate business interests.
If you are a California resident, you are entitled to specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, used, and shared, and the right to request deletion of that data.
We do not sell or share personal information in ways that fall under the CCPA’s definition of “sale.”
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. When updates are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. We encourage users to review this page periodically to stay informed.
