Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account or interact with PGNexus, we may collect:

• Account information — your name and email address when you register.
• Profile information — any optional details you add to your user profile.
• Submitted content — article suggestions, URLs, and other content you submit through the platform.

When you use PGNexus, we automatically collect certain technical information:

• Log data — your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs.

• Usage data — how you interact with features, search queries, and content viewed.
• Cookies — session cookies for authentication and preference cookies to remember your settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Information from Third Parties

We do not purchase personal data from third-party data brokers. Aggregated PostgreSQL news and community content on PGNexus is sourced from publicly available mailing lists, RSS feeds, and social media platforms.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account, and authenticate your identity.
• Provide, operate, and improve the PGNexus platform and its features.
• Personalize your experience, including language and display preferences.
• Send transactional emails such as account verification and password resets.
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve content quality and platform performance.
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use your data for advertising profiling.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing your data are:

• Performance of a contract — processing necessary to provide you with the service you requested.
• Legitimate interests — operating and improving our platform, where not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation — where processing is required by applicable law.
• Consent — where you have given explicit consent, such as for optional communications.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share it only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate PGNexus, bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal requirements — when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of PGNexus and its users.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with prior notice to you.
• With your consent — for any other purpose, only with your explicit permission.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may delete your account at any time; we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or compliance purposes.

Aggregated or anonymized data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion — request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Restriction — request we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@pgnexus.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted connections (TLS), hashed password storage, and access controls. No internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you become aware of any security vulnerability, please notify us at security@pgnexus.com.

8. International Transfers

PGNexus may be operated from servers located outside your country. If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your data may be transferred to countries without equivalent data protection. Where required, we rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

9. Children's Privacy

PGNexus is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. Third-Party Links

PGNexus aggregates and links to content from external websites. Once you leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by emailing you. Your continued use of PGNexus after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
