Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Ganjette.com handles personal data when visitors read the magazine, use the contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, or otherwise interact with the website. Ganjette is operated as a digital editorial publication and can be contacted at info@ganjette.com.

1. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to the public website Ganjette.com and its related pages, forms, archive, article pages, category pages, newsletter forms, and contact forms. It does not automatically apply to third-party websites, social networks, payment providers, advertisers, newsletter providers, analytics tools, or external services that may be linked from Ganjette.com. If a third-party service is used, that service may have its own privacy policy and data-processing rules.

2. Privacy-first default setup

The current website build is intentionally privacy-friendly. It is designed to work without a database for normal article reading, without mandatory user accounts, and without hidden advertising trackers by default. Reading articles, browsing the archive, and opening category pages can be done without registering. If analytics, newsletter automation, advertising pixels, consent tools, or external embeds are added later, the relevant privacy information and consent mechanisms should be updated before those services go live.

3. Data processed when visiting the website

When you open Ganjette.com, technical data may be processed by the hosting server in order to deliver the website. This can include your IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, transferred data volume, and server log information. This data is normally required to make the website technically available, monitor stability, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and protect the website from attacks.

Server logs are usually created by the hosting environment. Ganjette does not need this data to identify casual readers personally. Log data should be stored only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and operational stability.

4. Contact form data

If you use the contact form, the website asks for your name, email address, subject, and message. This information is used to receive your inquiry, process it, answer you, and keep a record of correspondence where reasonably necessary. The contact form is configured to send submissions by PHP mail to info@ganjette.com and also save a local CSV record in the protected storage folder as a fallback and operational log.

Please do not submit sensitive medical records, prescription documents, identification documents, private financial details, confidential legal documents, or information about unlawful activity through the contact form unless specifically requested and a secure channel has been agreed in advance. Ganjette is an editorial publication, not a medical clinic, law firm, pharmacy, or compliance office.

5. Newsletter data

If you subscribe to the newsletter, the website may process your email address, subscription source, timestamp, and technical metadata such as the IP address connected with the form submission. This data is used to manage newsletter interest, prevent abuse, and maintain a simple subscription record. If a professional newsletter provider is connected later, the provider may process subscriber data on behalf of Ganjette under its own technical infrastructure and contractual conditions.

Newsletter recipients should always be given a clear way to unsubscribe. If a manual newsletter list is used, unsubscribe requests can be sent to info@ganjette.com.

6. Cookies and local storage

The current site may use a small local consent flag to remember that a visitor has accepted the cookie/privacy notice. This type of local setting is used to avoid showing the same notice repeatedly. The current default build does not require advertising tracking cookies for reading the magazine. If analytics, embedded media, affiliate tracking, or advertising tools are later activated, the cookie banner and this Privacy Policy should be updated to describe those services accurately.

7. Legal basis and legitimate interests

Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis, Ganjette processes technical access data to provide and secure the website. Contact form data is processed to respond to inquiries and manage communication. Newsletter data is processed based on the user’s subscription request and/or consent. Security logs and abuse-prevention records may be processed based on legitimate interests in protecting the website, preventing spam, and maintaining reliable editorial operations.

8. Cannabis-related privacy note

Ganjette publishes cannabis-related editorial content. Reading such content may be sensitive in some jurisdictions or personal contexts. The current site is therefore designed to avoid unnecessary account creation and unnecessary tracking by default. Visitors should still be aware that their own internet provider, browser, employer network, device, VPN provider, or hosting-level logs may process technical access information independently from Ganjette.

9. Data sharing

Ganjette does not sell personal data to advertisers. Personal data may be shared only where necessary for website hosting, email delivery, technical maintenance, legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, or responding to a valid legal request. If external processors are added later, such as newsletter platforms, analytics tools, CRM tools, or spam-protection services, they should be reviewed and added to this policy where required.

10. International transfers

Because websites can be accessed globally and hosting, email, security, or newsletter tools may be provided by companies in different countries, personal data may be processed outside the visitor’s country. Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used, such as data-processing agreements, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms.

11. Retention

Contact messages should be retained only as long as necessary to process the inquiry, maintain reasonable business records, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. Newsletter records should be kept until the user unsubscribes or the list is cleaned. Server logs should be kept only for a reasonable technical and security period. Local CSV form logs should be reviewed regularly and deleted when they are no longer needed.

12. Security

The project is structured so that the storage folder is protected by server rules and should not be publicly browsable. The website also includes basic security headers and indexing restrictions. However, no website can guarantee absolute security. The site owner should ensure that hosting, PHP versions, file permissions, SMTP or mail settings, and server backups are properly maintained.

13. User rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. To exercise privacy rights, contact info@ganjette.com. Requests should include enough information to identify the relevant communication or subscription record.

14. Children and minors

Ganjette is intended for adults and for readers interested in legal, policy, medical, and business analysis. It is not designed for children. Cannabis laws and age restrictions vary by country and region. The website does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

15. Updates to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website changes, when new tools are added, when legal requirements change, or when editorial operations expand. The date at the top should be adjusted when a material update is made.
