Privacy policy
Last updated: October 16, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Global DataNest ("we", "us") handles information in connection with this website.
1. Information about public figures
Global DataNest's core purpose is to organize publicly available information about notable, public figures — drawn from openly licensed reference sources such as Wikimedia and Wikidata — for discovery purposes. See Data sources for more detail. This policy is about your privacy as a visitor to the site, not about the people profiled on it.
2. Information we collect from you
We collect the information needed to operate accounts, process submissions, protect the service, and understand aggregate website use:
- Information you provide directly, such as a correction report or a contact-form message.
- Usage information such as pages visited and search terms, used in aggregate to improve the product.
- Cookies or local storage used for basic preferences, such as remembering your light/dark theme choice on this device.
First-party analytics record pages visited, approximate country when supplied by our hosting network, device class, referring website or campaign, and search terms entered on GlobDN. We use a one-way keyed hash to estimate unique visitors and do not store raw visitor IP addresses in analytics. Recognized crawler traffic is kept separate from human totals. Secure session cookies support login, security protections, and session continuity. Theme preference is stored locally in your browser.
3. How information is used
Account and form information is used to provide requested features, review corrections, respond to inquiries, prevent abuse, and maintain security. Aggregate analytics is used to improve navigation, search, coverage, performance, and content quality.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. Submitted information is available only to authorized reviewers and service providers needed to operate the platform, subject to appropriate safeguards.
5. Your choices
You can clear locally stored preferences and session data through your browser. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted by contacting us, subject to legal and security retention requirements.
6. Children's privacy
Global DataNest is not directed at children and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
