Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026

This policy explains how Armenians.com handles information when you browse, sign in, join, or submit content.

Information we collect and why

• Accounts and membership. Name, email, phone, location, photo, profile details and preferences you provide, including optional occupation or business details. We use these to authenticate you, review applications, operate accounts, and show information according to the feature and your visibility choices.
• Submissions and messages. Directory listings, events, video links, and contact form details. We use these to review submissions, publish approved content, respond, and address misuse. Contact messages may be delivered to the operator’s email inbox.
• Visits and activity. Requests may include IP address, approximate location, browser or device information, and timestamps. Browser and tab identifiers help count visits and use of radio, videos, games, and quizzes. Recent visitor IP addresses may be visible to the site owner in the admin dashboard.

Cookies, browser storage, and embedded services

Sign-in uses session cookies. Browser storage supports features such as saved events, games, and activity counts. Weather can use approximate location inferred from your IP address. Embedded services such as YouTube, radio, webcams, and maps can receive your IP address and browser information when loaded or used and may use their own cookies or collect information about activity over time and across websites. Their privacy policies govern that processing.

Armenians.com does not currently change how it operates in response to browser Do Not Track signals. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can manage site cookies and storage through your browser. Clearing them can sign you out or remove saved preferences.

Who may receive information

Hosting, authentication, email, mapping, weather, and media providers receive information needed to deliver their services. These may include OpenAI Sites, Cloudflare, Supabase, Resend or FormSubmit for email delivery, YouTube, ipdata, and MET Norway, depending on what you use. Approved public submissions are visible to visitors, and member information may be visible to other users based on the feature and your choices. Public content may be copied or indexed by others. We may also disclose information as required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of a transfer of site operations subject to applicable safeguards.

Retention and security

We retain information as needed to operate the site, respond to requests, handle disputes, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. Recent IP activity, account records, published submissions, and email correspondence serve different purposes and may be retained for different periods. Backups or records we are required to keep may persist after a deletion request. We use access controls and other safeguards, but no online service can guarantee security.

Your choices and requests

Use account settings to update profile details and available visibility choices. Use Contact Us to request access, correction, deletion, or other rights available under applicable law. We may verify your identity before acting and retain information when an exception applies. If you believe a minor submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it as appropriate. Accounts and submissions are intended for adults 18 and older.

Policy changes

We will post revisions here with an updated effective date and provide additional notice when required. Contact us with privacy questions.
