Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Welcome to Deaf World View (deafworldview.com). This platform is an independent digital initiative established by founder Samir (known across digital platforms as samvok7) to advance accessibility, visual communication tools, and community-driven resources for the global Deaf community.

This document outlines our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, detailing how data is processed and the legal terms governing your interaction with our website and roadmap initiatives.

PRIVACY POLICY

1. Data Controller & General Principles

Deaf World View operates transparently and strictly limits data collection to what is technically necessary to provide high-speed access, maintain digital security, and facilitate direct community communication. For legal and data privacy inquiries, the platform is administered by its founder, Samir (samvok7).

2. Information We Collect

We do not operate membership registration, mandatory accounts, or invasive background trackers. Data collection is strictly limited to:

  • Direct Communications: When you contact us via our website contact form or email (info@deafworldview.com), we receive only the personal details you explicitly submit (such as your name, handle, email address, and message content) solely to respond to your inquiry.

  • Server Logs & Technical Telemetry: Our hosting servers and security firewalls automatically log standard technical data (including anonymized IP addresses, browser types, device profiles, referring URLs, and timestamp data) strictly to safeguard network integrity and defend against cyber threats.

  • Caching & Performance Cookies: We deploy performance-enhancing technologies, including LiteSpeed Cache, to optimize page delivery and visual asset loading across devices.

3. Advertising & Certified Consent Management (Google AdSense)

  • Ad Serving: We partner with Google AdSense to serve contextually relevant advertisements that support our independent infrastructure and research.

  • Consent Management Platform (CMP): In compliance with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), we utilize Google’s certified CMP. Visitors within regulated jurisdictions (including the European Economic Area, the UK, and specific US states) are presented with explicit options to grant, customize, or decline consent for personalized advertising cookies before any non-essential cookies are loaded.

  • Cookie Control: You retain complete control over cookies. You may modify your choices at any time via our on-site privacy settings or directly within your personal web browser controls.

  • No Direct Data Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal contact details to any third-party commercial broker.

4. International Privacy Compliance (GDPR, CPRA & KVKK)

We uphold recognized international privacy frameworks:

  • European Union & UK (GDPR / UK GDPR): Users residing in the EEA or UK enjoy rights of access, rectification, erasure, data portability, and the right to withdraw cookie consent at any time without penalty.

  • United States (CPRA & State Privacy Laws): Residents of California and other applicable US states retain the legal right to opt out of the processing, sale, or sharing of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

  • Turkey (KVKK – Law No. 6698): In accordance with Law No. 6698, technical log processing and communication inquiries are handled under the legal grounds of legitimate interest and direct communication requests (Articles 5 and 6). Turkish residents may exercise their rights under Article 11 by contacting us directly.

5. Future Beta Programs & Research Tools

Any upcoming software, digital dictionaries, or mobile tools currently in development will introduce separate, explicit data processing notices once they enter public or private beta testing. No test telemetry or user analytics will be collected without clear, prior disclosure at the time of program launch.
