PRIVACY
POLICY
This document explains how Explorism collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website. Your privacy is taken seriously — this page tells you exactly where you stand.
Introduction
Welcome to Explorism. This website is an independently operated blog created and managed by a single individual — Jeet Ghosh — with the intent of sharing well-researched, meaningful content on science, technology, discovery, and facts.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website. By continuing to use Explorism, you agree to the practices described in this document.
If you have questions about anything in this policy, you’re welcome to reach out directly via the contact information at the bottom of this page. This policy applies to all pages, content, and features available under the explorism.blog domain.
Information We Collect
Explorism collects a minimal amount of information — only what is necessary to run the site effectively and respond to reader inquiries.
You may voluntarily provide personal information in the following situations:
- Subscribing to the Explorism newsletter
- Submitting a contact or inquiry form
- Leaving a comment or feedback (if enabled)
The personal data collected in these cases may include your name and email address. No payment information or sensitive personal data is ever collected through this website.
Certain non-identifiable technical data may be collected automatically when you visit the site. This includes:
| Data Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Browser type & version | Compatibility and performance optimization |
| Device type (mobile/desktop) | Responsive design improvements |
| Pages visited & time spent | Understanding content engagement |
| Referral source (how you arrived) | Traffic analysis |
| General geographic region | Audience insights (country-level only) |
| IP address (anonymized) | Security and spam prevention |
This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
How Your Information Is Used
The information collected through Explorism is used for the following purposes only:
- To improve the quality, relevance, and accessibility of website content
- To respond to messages, questions, or reader inquiries in a timely manner
- To send the Explorism newsletter to subscribers who have explicitly opted in
- To monitor website performance, detect errors, and improve load times
- To analyze traffic patterns and understand which content resonates most with readers
- To maintain site security and prevent misuse or spam
Newsletter emails are sent only to subscribers who have willingly signed up. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time, and your data will be removed from the mailing list promptly upon request.
Cookies & Tracking
Explorism uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to enhance your browsing experience and understand how the site is used.
- Functionality cookies — remembering user preferences such as display settings
- Analytics cookies — tracking page views, session duration, and navigation paths (via tools like Google Analytics)
- Performance cookies — identifying slow-loading pages and technical issues
You are in full control of cookie settings. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View and delete stored cookies at any time
- Block third-party cookies by default
- Set preferences per website, or disable cookies entirely
Explorism respects Do Not Track (DNT) signals where technically feasible. No tracking beyond what is outlined above is conducted on this site.
Third-Party Services
To operate effectively, Explorism may integrate certain third-party tools and services. These services may collect data independently, subject to their own privacy policies.
- Google Analytics — web traffic analysis and audience reporting. Data is anonymized and aggregated. Google’s Privacy Policy →
- Email newsletter platform — used to manage subscriptions and send emails to opted-in readers
- Font services (Google Fonts) — for web typography; may log request data per Google’s policies
- Content delivery network (CDN) — used for faster image and asset delivery globally
If advertising networks or sponsored content are ever introduced in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect those changes clearly. Readers will be notified in advance.
Data Protection
Reasonable and appropriate technical measures are taken to protect any personal information collected through this website. These include:
- HTTPS encryption across all pages of the site
- Limited access to any stored contact or subscriber data
- Regular review of third-party tools for compliance and security
- No storage of payment information of any kind
In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting personally identifiable information, affected users will be notified promptly through available contact channels.
External Links
Explorism articles and pages may contain links to external websites — for example, to source material, research papers, or related reading. These links are provided for reference and reader convenience.
Once you leave Explorism and navigate to a third-party website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Explorism is not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection, or content of any external site.
It is recommended to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit before submitting personal information.
Children’s Privacy
Explorism is a general-interest content website and is not directed toward children under the age of 13. This site does not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personal information from children.
If it is discovered that personal information has been inadvertently collected from a child under 13, that information will be deleted promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information to this site, please contact us immediately at contact@explorism.blog and the matter will be resolved without delay.
Your Rights & Consent
By using Explorism, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. You retain the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Right to access — you may request a copy of any personal data held about you
- Right to correction — you may request that inaccurate information be corrected
- Right to deletion — you may request that your personal data be erased from records
- Right to unsubscribe — you can opt out of newsletters at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email
- Right to withdraw consent — you may withdraw consent to data processing at any time by contacting us directly
Explorism honours these rights in good faith. This site is independently operated without a large compliance team, but every reasonable effort is made to respond promptly and transparently.
Updates to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes in the website, applicable laws, or new third-party integrations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date at the top.
Continued use of Explorism following a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If significant changes are made — particularly regarding how personal data is handled — a notice will be placed prominently on the homepage.
