Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data GuestPost Hub (“we”, “us”) collects at http://localhost:3033, why, and what choices you have.

1. Data we collect

  • Account data: when you register we store your name, email address, a securely hashed password and, optionally, a bio, website and profile picture.
  • Content you submit: articles, images and the metadata you provide. Published articles are public together with your name, bio and avatar.
  • Contact messages: the name, email address and message you send through our contact form.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and pages visited, processed in server logs for security and abuse prevention.

2. Cookies

We use a strictly necessary session cookie to keep you logged in, protect forms against cross-site request forgery and count article views once per visit. This cookie does not track you across other websites.

3. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors from the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through a certified consent management platform where required.

4. How we use your data

  • To operate your account and publish the content you submit.
  • To send transactional emails (email verification, password reset, review decisions).
  • To answer your messages.
  • To keep the platform secure and prevent spam and abuse.

We do not sell your personal data.

5. Legal basis and retention

We process account data to perform our contract with you, and technical data on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure service. Account data is kept while your account exists. You can ask us to delete your account and content at any time.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Contact us via the contact page to exercise these rights.

7. Security
