This may include a name, email address, account identifier, message content, page URL, supporting documents, and other information voluntarily provided.

Information collected automatically

When a reader uses the website, servers and supporting systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, requested pages, referring page, timestamps, security events, and approximate usage information.

How information may be used

Cookie policy

Cookies are small data files stored through a browser or device. Similar technologies may also be used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, support security, measure usage, deliver embedded services, and assist advertising where advertising services are enabled.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies may be used for functions such as login sessions, security, fraud prevention, load management, preference storage, and reliable website operation. Disabling these cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.

Analytics and performance

Analytics or performance technologies may be used to understand aggregate traffic, page performance, navigation patterns, and technical errors. Depending on the service used, information may be processed by a third-party provider under its own privacy terms.

Advertising and third-party content

Advertising providers, embedded media, social platforms, or other external services may set or read their own cookies or identifiers when their services are displayed or used. SmartLiveReport does not control every third-party technology and readers should review the relevant provider's privacy information.

Managing cookies

Readers can generally delete or block cookies through browser settings. Device and browser controls may also limit tracking or third-party storage. Blocking some technologies may affect site functionality.

Service providers

Hosting, email, security, analytics, content delivery, authentication, advertising, and technical-support providers may process limited information on SmartLiveReport's behalf or as independent service providers. Access should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.

Data retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including operational, security, complaint, accounting, evidentiary, and legal requirements. Retention periods may differ according to the type of record.

Security

SmartLiveReport uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
