Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 10, 2026 · Publication: Fihoco (fihoco.com)
Who we are
Fihoco publishes independent film criticism and explanatory essays. This policy describes how we handle information when you browse our pages, email editors, or interact with lightweight preference storage.
Information we process
- Technical logs. Hosting providers may record IP addresses, timestamps, browser types, requested URLs, and HTTP referrers for reliability, abuse mitigation, and aggregate diagnostics.
- Cookies & storage. We may store a minimal consent flag after you acknowledge our cookie banner. Advertising or analytics vendors may set additional identifiers governed by their own disclosures.
- Correspondence. Messages sent to editors@fihoco.com or demo contact forms may be retained to respond, verify corrections, or maintain editorial records.
Why we process data
We use information to operate fihoco.com securely, measure aggregate readership (not individualized surveillance), comply with applicable law, and honor editorial correspondence. Where regulations require consent for non-essential cookies, our Cookie Policy explains categories and controls.
Advertising & monetization
Fihoco may display programmatic advertisements. Partners may process pseudonymous identifiers for delivery, sequencing, or measurement. Media placements do not determine review assignments or numeric scores; editorial separation is described in our Editorial Policy.
Retention
Server logs follow vendor defaults unless law requires shorter windows. Editorial email may be archived while disputes remain active or for accountability purposes consistent with newsroom norms.
Security
We rely on reputable hosting infrastructure and transport encryption where offered. No website can guarantee absolute security; please avoid transmitting highly sensitive personal data through generic contact forms.
Children
Fihoco does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing. Parents may contact us if they believe a minor’s data was submitted inadvertently.
International readers
Readers outside our primary operating region should note cross-border transfers inherent to cloud hosting and global ad networks; contractual safeguards may apply depending on vendor arrangements.
Your choices
You may adjust browser cookie settings, use privacy-focused browsers, or contact us regarding correction requests tied to identifiable correspondence.
Updates
Material changes to this policy will be reflected with a revised effective date at the top of this page.
