1. Overview

datatv.net ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit datatv.net (the "Service"). We have designed this Service to be private by default: we do not operate user accounts, we do not serve advertisements, and we do not sell data to third parties.

This policy applies to all pages and features of datatv.net, including the Wikipedia Voice Stream feature accessible on the home page.

2. Data we collect

datatv.net is a static web application. Under normal usage, we collect no personal data from you. Specifically:

Server / hosting logs

Like virtually all web services, our hosting infrastructure may automatically collect standard server log data when you request a page. This typically includes:

This data is used solely for the purpose of operating and securing the Service and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

3. Data we do not collect

We explicitly do not collect, store, or process:

4. Cookies and local storage

datatv.net does not set any first-party cookies or use local storage for tracking purposes.

The Wikipedia Voice Stream feature uses your browser's Web Speech API to produce voice narration. This API is handled entirely within your browser and no audio is transmitted to our servers. Your browser may store voice preference data locally according to its own policies.

5. Third-party services

datatv.net connects to the following third-party services to deliver its core functionality:

Wikipedia / Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikipedia Voice Stream feature makes requests to the Wikimedia REST API (en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/random/summary) to retrieve random article summaries. These requests are made by your browser directly to Wikimedia's servers. Your use of this API is subject to the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy. datatv.net does not receive or store any data related to these requests.

Web Speech API

Voice narration is provided by your browser's built-in Web Speech API. Depending on your browser and operating system, speech synthesis may be processed locally on your device or, in some configurations (e.g. certain Chrome voices), sent to the browser vendor's servers. Please consult your browser's privacy policy for details. datatv.net has no access to this data.

6. Contact emails

If you choose to contact us by email using one of the addresses listed on the Contact page, we will receive the information you include in your message, which may include:

We use this information solely to review and respond to your enquiry. We do not sell or share email correspondence with third parties except where required to operate our email service or where required by law. We retain contact emails only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle your enquiry, maintain basic records, or meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of your email correspondence at any time by emailing privacy@datatv.net.

7. Children's privacy

datatv.net is a general-interest educational service and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Your rights

Depending on your country of residence, you may have the following rights under applicable data protection law (including the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR):

Because we collect virtually no personal data, most of these rights will have limited practical application. To exercise any of them, please contact us at privacy@datatv.net. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
