We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to collect information about how visitors use our website.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These websites have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies.
DATA WE COLLECT DIRECTLY
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact Forms and Email
If you contact us via email or a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any other information you provide. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and manage any ongoing correspondence.
User Accounts
If you register for an account, we collect the information you provide during registration, such as your username, email address, and any profile details you choose to share. Your data is stored as long as your account is active or as required by law.
Newsletter Subscriptions
If you subscribe to our newsletter or email updates, we collect your email address and any other information you provide. You can unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us at admin@epochreport.com.
User-Submitted Content
If you submit stories, comments, images, or other content, we process the data you provide for the purpose of publishing, moderating, and displaying your content on the website.
COOKIES
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will typically last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies usually last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for up to two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It typically expires after one day.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share your data with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our rights, property, or safety or that of others.
HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they usually cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
We retain other data for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.
WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

- Right to access

SECURITY
We use SSL or TLS encryption to help ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as login data or contact requests that you send to us.
We have implemented technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. If we become aware of a data breach, we will notify affected individuals as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with applicable laws.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
We take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy when it is transferred internationally.
