For any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can reach the Himaso editorial team at haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.

Himaso is designed to be lightweight and respectful of your attention. We collect only what is necessary to operate the site, improve it, and comply with applicable laws.

2.1 Information you provide directly

When you contact us by email at haithemhamtinee@gmail.com, you may share your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use that information solely to respond to you and to maintain a record of correspondence.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you visit Himaso, our hosting and analytics infrastructure may automatically receive standard log information, including:

• Your IP address and approximate geographic location.
• Browser type, version, and language.
• Operating system and device type.
• Pages visited, referring URL, and time spent on each page.

This information is used in aggregate to understand traffic patterns, improve performance, and detect abuse. We do not attempt to identify individual readers from this data.

2.3 Cookies and similar technologies

Himaso uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies to:

• Remember your preferences (such as theme or layout).

• Operate and maintain Himaso.
• Improve our editorial coverage and recommendations.
• Diagnose technical problems and prevent abuse.
• Respond to your messages and inquiries.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use the information you share with us to build a marketing profile of you across the broader internet.

4. Advertising and third-party services

Himaso may display advertising provided by third-party advertising networks, including but not limited to Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve advertisements that they believe are most relevant to you, based on your visits to this and other websites.

Third-party vendors and ad networks operate independently of Himaso. Their use of information collected through advertising is governed by their own privacy policies. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services by visiting Google's privacy practices.

You may opt out of personalized advertising from many networks by visiting aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.

5. External links

Himaso's book pages include links to external services such as Google Books, Goodreads, Amazon, Project Gutenberg, and publisher pages. When you follow such links, you leave Himaso and become subject to the privacy practices of those third parties. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

6. Data retention

We retain log data and aggregate analytics for the period required to maintain and improve the site, typically no longer than is necessary for those purposes. We retain emails you send us for as long as it is reasonable to maintain a record of correspondence with the editorial team.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at haithemhamtinee@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Children's privacy

Himaso is intended for adult readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information transmitted to and stored on Himaso. However, no transmission over the internet is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
