This Privacy Policy explains how MetroMSK (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at metromssk.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect only the information we need to operate the Site, respond to readers, and improve our content. The types of information we may collect include the following.
Information You Provide Through Our Contact Form
When you use the form on our contact page, we collect the information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, the subject of your inquiry, and the content of your message. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information, such as financial, medical, or government identification details, in your messages.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and support its features. More details are available in our cookie policy.
Analytics Information
We may use analytics tools to collect information about how visitors interact with the Site. This can include pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, referring websites, approximate location derived from your IP address, device type, browser type, and operating system. This information is generally collected in aggregated or pseudonymous form.
Server Logs
Like most websites, our hosting servers automatically record certain technical information when you access the Site. Server logs may include your IP address, browser type, the date and time of your visit, the pages requested, and error information. We use this data to keep the Site secure and functioning properly.
How We Use Your Information
We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your questions, feedback, correction requests, and partnership inquiries
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
- To understand which topics and articles are most useful to readers
- To monitor and protect the Site against fraud, abuse, spam, and security threats
- To display advertising, where applicable, and measure its performance
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and conditions
We do not sell your personal information for money. Where certain advertising or analytics activities may be considered “selling” or “sharing” under applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to opt out, as described below.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function, while others help us understand usage or support advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. If you disable certain cookies, some features of the Site may not work as intended. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
Third-Party Services
We may work with third-party service providers to help operate the Site. These may include website hosting providers, analytics services, security and spam-prevention tools, and form-handling services. Advertising partners may also be added in the future to help support the publication. These providers may collect information through cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
We share information with service providers only as needed for them to perform services on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to legal process, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or sale of assets.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry. Analytics and server log data are retained for limited periods consistent with the settings of the tools we use. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
