Comments

If comments are enabled on certain articles and you leave a comment on the site, we collect the information you enter in the comment form (for example your name, email address and your comment), as well as your IP address and browser user-agent string. This helps us to detect and prevent spam and abusive behavior.

We may use an automated spam detection service for comments.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can consult the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile image (if any) may be visible to the public next to your comment.

 

Media

When you contact us via a contact form (for example for a collaboration, partnership or general question), we collect the data you provide voluntarily, such as:

• Name or username

• Email address

• Social media handles (if you share them)

• Message content and any other information you choose to provide

This information is used solely to respond to your request, manage potential collaborations and keep a trace of our exchanges for administrative or legal purposes.

If you upload images to the website (for example, via a profile, comment, or form that allows uploads), you should avoid including images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS).

Visitors to the site can potentially download and extract location data from images displayed on the website. If you do not want this information to be accessible, make sure to remove EXIF/location data before uploading.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter this information next time you comment. These cookies are typically stored for about one year.

If you visit our login page (for example if you have an editor or admin account), we may place a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we may set several cookies to remember your login information and display preferences.

• Login cookies usually last two days.

• Screen/display option cookies can last up to one year.
  If you select “Remember me”, your login may stay active for about two weeks. When you log out, login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie may be stored in your browser indicating the ID of the article you just edited. This cookie does not contain personal data and usually expires after one day.

We may also use analytics and performance cookies (for example via tools like Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, duration, etc.) in order to improve our content and user experience.

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being placed. However, some parts of the site may not work properly without cookies.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content such as:

• Instagram posts & Reels

• TikTok videos

• YouTube videos

• Maps, images, or other widgets

Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those other websites directly.

These third-party sites may:

• Collect data about you

• Use cookies and other trackers

• Monitor your interactions with the embedded content

• Link these interactions to your account on their platform (if you are logged in there)

We recommend checking the privacy policies of the corresponding platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) to understand how they process your data.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share certain data with third parties only in the following cases:

• Technical service providers / hosting (for example, our hosting provider or email provider), strictly for operating the website and sending emails.

• Spam detection and security tools, to protect the site and users.

• Password reset: if you request a password reset (for an editor/admin account), your IP address may be included in the reset email for security and fraud-prevention reasons.

• Legal requirements: if the law requires it, or if we are asked by a competent authority under Moroccan Law n° 09-08 or other applicable regulations.

All such third parties are only given access to the data they need to perform their services and are expected to protect it appropriately.

How long we retain your data

• Comments:
  If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be kept indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve future comments instead of keeping them in a manual moderation queue.

• Contact form messages:
  Messages sent via our contact forms may be kept for the time needed to process your request and for a reasonable period thereafter, for follow-up, proof of our exchanges, or legal obligations.

• User accounts (if any):
  For users who register on our website (for example, contributors, editors, admins), we store the personal information provided in their profile.
  All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

• Analytics data:
  Usage and analytics data may be kept for the period necessary to analyze trends and improve the site, in accordance with the retention periods set by the analytics tool used.

What rights you have over your data

In accordance with Moroccan Law n° 09-08 and, where applicable, other data protection regulations, you have several rights over your personal data, including:
