Privacy policy

polissya.today is a travel guide and news site about Polissia. Here we briefly explain what data the site collects and how we handle it.

What the site collects

You do not need to register to read the site. We do not ask for your name, phone number or email to show you an article.

Visit statistics. The site uses Google Analytics, which records which pages were opened, from which device and browser, the approximate city and where visitors came from. Google sets cookies for this. The data is anonymised; we only see overall statistics.

Server logs. Like any website, the server briefly keeps technical request records (IP address, time, page address). They are needed to protect against attacks and to find faults.

What you send us yourself. If you submit a classified ad or an event, or write to us, we keep the data you sent only for that purpose.

Videos on YouTube

The editorial team uses its own application “Polissya Video” to upload videos for site articles to its YouTube channel. The application works only with the editorial channel via the YouTube API Services and does not request access to visitors’ accounts. Access keys are stored on our server and are not shared with anyone.

When you watch YouTube videos on the site or on YouTube, the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy apply. You can revoke apps’ access to your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Data storage and deletion

Data obtained via the YouTube API Services (access keys to the editorial channel and information about uploaded videos) is stored on our server only while the application is connected. After the channel is disconnected in the admin panel or access is revoked at myaccount.google.com/permissions, the access keys are deleted, and the stored information within 30 days. Server logs are kept for no more than 30 days. To delete data you sent through the site’s forms, write to us via the page “Advertising and partnership” — we will delete it within 30 days.

What we do not do

We do not sell or share your data with third parties, except for the services named above and cases required by law.

How to opt out of cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the official Google add-on.
