1. General provisions

Welcome to Oshicue Blog (the “website”). The website is maintained by an independent operator and publishes original articles, personal commentary, collections of materials, research notes, and other content.

This statement explains how the website handles visitors’ information and addresses content use, intellectual property, and other legal matters. The website processes personal information in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, legitimacy, necessity, and transparency. Where consent is required by law, merely browsing the website does not replace the required consent. This statement does not affect any rights that visitors cannot waive under applicable law.

2. Website operation and server location

The website’s primary server is located in California, United States. The website uses Cloudflare for proxy, DNS, and security services. Access requests may pass through Cloudflare network locations; cached data, network requests, and information processed by service providers may also be transferred or stored in other countries or regions. The server’s location does not by itself determine the operator’s legal or tax residence or all applicable law.

3. Information collected

3.1 Automatically generated technical information

When you visit the website, the server and network services may record your IP address, access time, requested page and method, HTTP status code, User-Agent information supplied by your browser and device, referring page (if available), and transfer and error information. This information is used to deliver pages, troubleshoot problems, maintain security, and prevent abuse. Information in technical logs that can identify or be linked to a particular person is protected as personal information in accordance with applicable law.

3.2 Information you provide

When you contact us by email, we process the email address, message, and attachments you provide. Comments are enabled on the website. To submit a comment, you must provide your comment, a name or nickname, and an email address; you may also provide a website address. The comment and the name or nickname you provide may be displayed publicly; your email address is generally not displayed publicly. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive personal information in public comments.

3.3 Third-party services

The website uses Cloudflare proxy and security services. Comments with avatars enabled may use Automattic’s Gravatar service, which may receive a hash of an email address and, when the browser requests an avatar, request information such as the visitor’s IP address. For details of third-party processing, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy and the Automattic Privacy Policy. Website fonts are served by this website; loading the theme fonts does not require a connection to a third-party font service.

4. Purposes and legal bases for processing

The website processes information to provide pages and commenting features, respond to inquiries and rights requests, troubleshoot problems, maintain security, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and fulfill applicable legal obligations. Information is processed only to the extent permitted by applicable law and necessary for the relevant purpose.

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, the legal basis for a particular processing activity may, depending on the circumstances, include consent, necessity to provide a requested service, a legal obligation, or legitimate interests. The same basis is not applied indiscriminately to every processing activity.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small data files that a website or third-party service may store in your browser. The WordPress comment feature offers the option to save your comment details. If you check the consent box, cookies whose names begin with comment_author_, comment_author_email_, and comment_author_url_ may save the name, email address, and website address you entered for your next comment. Their default lifetime is approximately one year. Cloudflare may also use cookies or similar technologies for security and network services; see its privacy policy for their names and lifetimes. You can view, delete, or restrict cookies through your browser; restricting certain cookies may affect related features.

Non-essential cookies or similar technologies for which applicable law requires prior consent should be enabled only after valid consent has been obtained, with a way to withdraw consent where required by law. The website has not confirmed that it has a dedicated mechanism for responding to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals; where applicable law requires recognition of such signals, it will comply with that law.

6. Sharing, disclosure, and third-party processing

To operate and protect the website, relevant information may be processed as necessary by server, Cloudflare, Gravatar, or email service providers. Necessary information may also be provided to competent authorities or professional advisers when required by law or valid legal process, or as necessary to resolve disputes or protect lawful rights and interests. Content you choose to make public in comments can be read by other visitors. Third parties’ own processing is subject to their respective rules; you may contact the website for information about the scope of processing, retention periods, and contact channels.

7. Cross-border data transfers

The website’s primary server is in California, United States. When visitors outside the United States access the website, requests and related technical information may be transferred to the United States; services such as Cloudflare and Gravatar may also process information in other countries or regions. Where the law requires special safeguards for cross-border processing, the website will provide notices, obtain consent, and implement other safeguards as required and applicable. Data protection rules may differ between regions.

8. Retention and deletion

Server access and security logs: Nginx logs are rotated daily. The current log and up to 14 non-empty archived logs are retained.
Comments and related administrative records: Retained until the comment is deleted, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Emails and correspondence: Retained while the matter and necessary follow-up are being handled. You may use the contact email to ask about or request deletion of these records.
Website backups: Manual backups exist, but there is no fixed cleanup schedule. Deletion requests will be handled in light of the backup situation.
Third-party service records: Retained by the relevant providers according to their actual policies and configurations. You may contact the website for details.

When the purpose of retention has been fulfilled, the retention period has expired, or other legal conditions for deletion are met, the website will delete, anonymize, or otherwise appropriately dispose of the information in accordance with law. Where a legally required retention period has not expired or deletion is technically difficult, processing other than storage and necessary security protection will be restricted as required by law.

9. Visitors’ personal information rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to learn about the processing of your information; access, copy, correct, supplement, or delete your personal information; withdraw consent; request an explanation of processing rules; or, where applicable, restrict or object to processing and request transfer of your information. You may also complain to a competent personal information protection authority.

Please send requests to [email protected]. To prevent unauthorized access or changes, we may verify identity to the extent necessary. We will handle requests within the time required by applicable law and, if we cannot fulfill a request in whole or in part, explain why as required by law.

10. Information security

The website takes reasonable technical and organizational measures suited to its operating conditions, such as encrypted transmission, access controls, security updates, and backups, to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. Internet communications and electronic storage cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. If a security incident requires notification by law, the website will respond and provide notice in accordance with applicable law.

11. Protection of minors’ information

The website is not a service specifically directed at collecting personal information from minors. If it processes information about minors that is subject to special protection, it will provide notices, obtain parental or guardian consent, and take other protective measures as required by law. A parent or guardian who believes the website has improperly collected or displayed a minor’s personal information may contact the website to request an investigation and action.

12. Comments, submissions, and public information

Visitors are responsible as required by law for content they submit. They must not unlawfully disclose another person’s personal information, infringe another person’s intellectual property, privacy, or reputation, impersonate someone, post unlawful threats, harassment, malicious code, or spam, or engage in other unlawful activity. To the extent permitted by law, the website may review, hide, or remove content suspected of being unlawful, infringing, or abusive, or restrict access to it.

Visitors retain the rights they have under law in their original content. For content voluntarily submitted with a request for public display, the visitor grants the website a non-exclusive license to the extent necessary to publish, display, adapt the format of, back up as necessary, and reasonably manage that content. This license does not by itself transfer copyright.

13. Copyright and other intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, intellectual property rights in original content on this website belong to their lawful owners; rights in third-party images, quotations, marks, and other materials remain with their respective owners. Articles are licensed by default under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC 4.0), unless a work states otherwise. Users must comply with the applicable license and law; uses outside the license require appropriate authorization.

Fair quotation, commentary, research, news reporting, and other statutory exceptions are governed by applicable law. Naming the author, identifying the source, or linking to the original does not by itself grant permission for use beyond the license or a statutory exception.

14. Copyright complaints and infringement handling

A rights holder who believes that website content infringes their copyright may send written notice to [email protected]. The notice should identify the complainant and provide contact information, the relevant work and basis for the claimed rights, the specific URL of the allegedly infringing content, and facts and supporting materials that help assess the complaint. Complaints should be truthful, accurate, and made in good faith, and include any other information required by applicable law.

The website will investigate within reasonable limits and take appropriate action, which may include requesting additional evidence, removing content, restricting access, or handling objections in accordance with law. The email address above does not by itself constitute a designated agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

15. External links and third-party websites

The website may contain links to or embedded content from external websites, social media, video platforms, or other services. Unless expressly stated, a link does not mean that the website endorses or guarantees third-party content or services. Third parties may have their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms of service; please review them when using those services.

16. Nature of content, fact-checking, and disclaimers

The website may publish commentary, research compilations, historical materials, personal experiences, literary works, and unofficial translations. Unless expressly stated otherwise, articles reflect the author’s records, understanding, or personal views at the time of writing and do not represent the official position of any authority, organization, employer, or other third party.

The website strives to reasonably verify sources and correct confirmed material errors, but does not guarantee that all content is complete, accurate, current, or suitable for a particular purpose at all times. When discussing public events or third-party statements, verified facts, opinions, quotations, and unverified claims should be distinguished; quoting or discussing a statement does not by itself constitute endorsement.

Unless expressly stated that the operator holds relevant qualifications and provides professional services, website content is not legal, medical, financial, investment, or other professional advice. Readers should exercise their own judgment in light of their circumstances and consult a qualified professional where necessary. This statement does not permit unlawful infringement of others’ rights or exclude liability required by law.

17. Service availability and limitation of liability

The website may be temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, faults, network interruptions, third-party service problems, or force majeure. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website does not provide an absolute guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free operation or suitability for every particular purpose. Liability for losses that may lawfully be limited is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law; this section does not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

18. Automated access and website security

Automated access programs, search engine crawlers, and other network tools must comply with applicable law and the website’s legally effective access restrictions. Without authorization, users must not attack, damage, or interfere with the website’s infrastructure or circumvent effective security controls. The website may express access preferences through robots.txt, HTTP response headers, or other technical mechanisms; their legal effect is determined under applicable law.

19. Applicable law and dispute resolution

The server’s location does not by itself provide the sole basis for jurisdiction over every dispute. Applicable law and the competent authority for disputes relating to this statement or use of the website will be determined according to the operator’s actual location, the nature of the dispute, the parties’ relationship, and applicable conflict-of-laws rules. In the event of a dispute, the parties may first seek to communicate through the contact email; this does not affect visitors’ rights to complain, appeal, or seek judicial remedies under law.

20. Revisions and languages

The website may revise this statement in response to changes in law, technology, features, or operations, and will publish the updated date on this page. Where a material change requires separate notice or renewed consent by law, the website will follow the applicable procedure. The English version is the original and authoritative version of this statement. The Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong), and Japanese versions are translations. If there is any inconsistency, the English version prevails, except where applicable law requires otherwise. No language provision limits any rights or protections that visitors cannot waive under applicable law.

If any provision of this statement is held invalid or unenforceable under law, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent permitted by law.
