Privacy

Vici.org is a non-commercial website run by one private individual — no company or organisation is involved. This policy explains which personal data Vici.org processes and why.

Data controller

René Voorburg, reachable via the contact form. Hosting takes place within the European Union.

What is stored when you register

• Account name and display name. The display name is shown publicly on the pages and images you contribute to; you choose it yourself — it does not have to be your real name and you can change it in your profile settings.
• E-mail address. Used only for account activation and password resets. It is never shown publicly, never shared with others, and never sold — Vici.org is not commercial and has no interest in your data.
• Password. Never stored as such; only a cryptographic hash is kept, so the site operator cannot read your password.

Contributions

Texts, images and lines you contribute are published under the licenses stated on the site (written content CC BY-SA, metadata CC0) and are publicly attributed to your display name. Contributions are provided by users under their own responsibility; if you notice a problem with a contribution, please report it.

Cookies and tracking

Vici.org uses only functional cookies: a session cookie (PHPSESSID) needed for login and preferences. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Bot protection is done with a self-hosted proof-of-work check (ALTCHA); nothing is sent to an external service.

Technical data

Like any webserver, the site keeps technical logs that may contain IP addresses, and uses IP-based rate limiting to protect the service. These data are not linked to your account, are not shared and are retained only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may object to processing. E-mail addresses are never published, so simply use the contact form. Note that published contributions are meant to be a lasting part of the atlas (as on Wikipedia); deleting your account does not automatically remove them — choose a display name you are comfortable with.
