Information We Receive Automatically
When you visit the catalogue, our servers record routine technical information: your IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, the referring page, and the pages you view. This data is collected for operational purposes—to diagnose technical issues, prevent abuse, and understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not link this information to any personal identity unless you voluntarily provide it through a message or preference setting.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
You may choose to send us a message via the contact email (editor@oqoji.com) or set site preferences such as display options. Any information you include in a message—such as your name or email address—is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not added to a marketing list. Site preferences are stored locally on your device or in a cookie as described below.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience. Essential cookies enable basic functions like remembering your preference for text size or layout. Where enabled, we may also use analytics cookies to understand how the catalogue is used, and advertising cookies to serve relevant ads through third-party networks. You can control cookies through your browser settings or through consent tools provided on the site.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies. These services collect information about your browsing behaviour on this site and elsewhere, subject to their own privacy policies. If advertising is displayed, Google or other ad networks may use cookies and web beacons to measure ad performance and tailor ads based on your interests. We do not control these third-party technologies.
Web Beacons
Pages or emails may contain small graphic images (web beacons) that help us understand whether content has been viewed or shared. These may be served by third-party providers and can transmit information such as your IP address and the page URL.
Purposes of Processing
We process your data for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the catalogue
- To respond to your messages and requests
- To analyse usage trends and preferences
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
- To display relevant advertising where enabled
Service Providers and Third-Party Access
We may share your data with limited service providers who help us host, analyse, and maintain the site. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the services they perform for us and to protect it with appropriate security measures. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period before being anonymised or deleted. Messages are retained only until your request has been resolved, unless a longer retention is necessary for legal reasons.

You have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you
- Object to or restrict processing of your data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request portability of your data in a structured format
To exercise these rights, please contact us at editor@oqoji.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
