Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026. BrightPath Journal serves articles publicly and provides a private publisher dashboard. The website records cumulative article page loads in its Cloudflare D1 database. This is an aggregate counter, not a unique-visitor measurement.

The administrator signs in using a secure, HTTP-only session cookie. Login-rate limiting uses a salted one-way digest of the IP address. The site does not currently collect reader account registrations, email newsletter subscriptions, or contact-form submissions.

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may process technical data such as IP addresses and browser requests to serve and protect this website. See Cloudflare privacy documentation for details.

Advertising and your choices. This website is configured for advertisements served by Adsterra. Before any Adsterra ad scripts run, the site asks whether you want to allow third-party advertising. If you decline, the ads do not load, and you can still read all articles. If you allow them, Adsterra and its advertising partners may process IP addresses, device/browser identifiers, and other information or use cookies and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads.

You can change your choice using the Ad preferences button in the footer. This is a basic site-level opt-in control; the publisher remains responsible for reviewing local privacy laws and any additional consent requirements that apply to their readers. Adsterra is an independent advertising service.

Contact details, publisher identity, and any applicable regional privacy disclosures should be completed before public monetization.
