Welcome to ScienceFeature! We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
In this privacy policy, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. This policy applies to all information collected through our website (such as www.sciencefeature.com) and/or any related services, sales, marketing, or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy policy as the “Services”).
Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.
Information We Collect
“Personal data” or “personal information” refers to any information through which an individual can be distinctly identified.
Our Services collect information that you provide to us, that we collect automatically, and that we receive from third parties.
Information you provide to us: This includes personal information you provide when you register with us, subscribe to our services, make a purchase, participate in discussion boards, enter a competition, complete a survey, or communicate with us.
Information we collect automatically: This includes certain information when you visit our website, like your IP address, log data, and device information.
Information we receive from other sources: We may receive personal information about you from third-party sources, such as social media platforms and advertising networks.
Please note that we do not gather any Special Categories of Personal Data, as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This encompasses data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health status, as well as genetic and biometric data. Furthermore, we do not collect any data relating to criminal convictions or offences.
In certain circumstances, we may be required to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you. If you fail to provide this required data when requested, it could prevent us from upholding the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to publish your content). If this is the case, we may be forced to cancel the contract but will notify you if such a situation arises.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to operate, maintain, and improve our Services, to process transactions, to communicate with you, for compliance purposes.
How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?
We retain your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for legal, accounting, or reporting obligations.
When determining the appropriate duration for data retention, we evaluate a variety of factors: the type and amount of personal data, its sensitivity, potential risk from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for processing the data and whether these could be achieved by other methods, along with relevant legal requirements.
In certain situations, you may request that we erase your data. Please see the section titled “Your Privacy Rights” for more information.
How We Share Your Information
We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run our Services. We may also share your information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
Cookie Policy

Depending on where you reside, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you, or to port it to a new service.
