Privacy policy

This website is run by WiseTribal. The way to reach us is by email: info@wisetribal.com. Send questions about privacy to that address.

You do not need an account to use this website, and we do not offer public accounts.

We count how many people use this website with our own software on our own server. Nothing is sent to an outside analytics company, and it sets no cookie and uses no JavaScript. We do not build profiles of individual visitors. For each page view we keep:

• the page address (no query string)

• the website you came from (name only)

• whether you use a phone, tablet or computer

• what you typed in our search box (never with who you are)

• a daily code that cannot be traced back to you and is thrown away each day, so we can count a visitor once a day

We never keep your network (IP) address or your full browser details for this, and we do not keep query strings. We delete these records after 30 days and keep only totals, for good (counts only). If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, you are not counted.

If you send us a message or a correction through a form on this website, we collect only what you type into it.

The "You are here" line and the near-you results use an IP-location database (DB-IP City Lite, licensed CC BY 4.0), a file stored on our own server. A visit triggers no call to an outside service, and your network (IP) address is not stored for it. The only thing remembered is the ZIP code or state you choose, in one cookie named dp_area; it holds only that choice and is set only when you choose an area (see our cookie notice). Your exact location, if you share it with your browser, stays in your browser.

The web server that delivers the website keeps ordinary access logs: your network (IP) address, the page you asked for, the time and your browser type. Those logs belong to our hosting provider, Hostinger, which keeps ordinary server access logs under its own policy. We do not control how long it keeps them. Our own application logs (errors and requests) are kept for 30 days, and email addresses are removed before anything is written to them.

We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell your personal information. Our pages work without cookies that track you. If you choose Accept in our analytics notice, we use Microsoft Clarity, a free tool that shows us how visitors use our pages (for example which pages are read, how far people scroll and where they get stuck). Clarity sets cookies on your device and sends this usage information to Microsoft, which handles it for us under its own privacy terms (https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement). We ask Clarity to hide what you type and other personal text, and we do not use it on pages with forms, on account pages or on pages about help and assistance. If you choose Decline, or do nothing, Clarity does not run and no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time with the "Analytics choice" link at the bottom of every page.

The pages show facts about organisations taken from public and official sources: names, office addresses and office phone numbers, websites, and the names and titles of leaders as published by the organisation or an official directory. We never store or show a person's private email address or phone number. If information about you or your organisation should not be shown, see our takedown and corrections policy.

The people who sign in to run the website (staff) are the only people whose personal details we keep. What we keep and for how long:

• Who they are: name, email address, role, and a one-way scrambled form of the password. The two-step sign-in secret is stored encrypted. Kept while the account exists.

• Last sign-in address: cleared after 90 days.

• Sign-in sessions: removed after 7 days.

• Device fingerprints (keyed hashes, never the raw address or browser): removed 180 days after they were last seen.

• Security alerts: acknowledged alerts removed after 365 days.

• Invitation and password-reset links (they hold an email address): removed 30 days after use or expiry.

• Email log: the address, subject and delivery status of emails the website sent to people who work on it (invitations, alerts), removed after 180 days.

• Internal messages between staff (stored encrypted): removed after 730 days, unless a legal hold applies.

• The audit log records who changed what and when, with the staff email address and the network address of the request. It is kept permanently.

When someone asks for their information, or their Nation's, to be removed, we keep the name of the person who asked, how they asked, when and why, on a permanent do-not-collect list. That record is what stops the information coming back.

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not offer public accounts.

Our hosting provider and email provider, Hostinger, processes the data the website runs on and sends the emails the website sends. We do not sell personal information.

You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to close a staff account: write to info@wisetribal.com.
