Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2.07.2026

Bacula News respects your privacy. This website is intended to provide news, updates, guides and community information related to the Bacula Community ecosystem.

We do not use Bacula News to track visitors, build user profiles, display targeted advertising or collect personal data for marketing purposes.

1. Information we collect

Bacula News collects only a limited amount of technical information necessary to operate the website.

This may include:

  • temporary session cookies required by the portal CMS,
  • anonymous search keywords entered into the website search form,
  • basic technical information that may be processed automatically by the web server, such as request time, requested page, browser type or IP address in server logs.

We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.

2. Session cookies

Bacula News uses session cookies that are necessary for the proper operation of the website and the underlying portal CMS.

These cookies are used only for technical purposes, such as maintaining a browsing session or supporting core website functionality. They are not used for advertising, analytics, profiling or cross-site tracking.

Session cookies are temporary and are typically removed when you close your browser.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through this website. You can, however, manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking necessary cookies may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.

3. Website search

When you use the search feature on Bacula News, the search keywords you enter may be stored.

These search terms are collected only to help us understand what topics visitors are looking for and to improve the content and structure of the website.

Search keywords are not connected with user accounts, profiles, names, email addresses or any other information that would allow us to identify a specific visitor.

4. Analytics and tracking

Bacula News does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies or third-party analytics tools for profiling visitors.

We do not sell, rent or share visitor data with advertisers.

5. Contact by email

If you contact the Bacula News editorial team by email, we will process the information you provide in order to respond to your message.

Your email address and message content will not be used for marketing purposes and will not be shared with third parties unless required by law.

6. Links to external websites

Bacula News may contain links to external websites, such as Bacula-related projects, documentation, repositories, forums or community resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or cookie policies of external websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when visiting them.

7. Data retention

Session cookies are temporary and expire when the browser session ends or according to the technical configuration of the CMS.

Anonymous search keywords may be stored for internal editorial and technical purposes. Since these keywords are not associated with identifiable users, they are used only in aggregated or non-personal form.

Server logs, if used by the hosting provider or server infrastructure, are kept only for technical, security and operational purposes and are retained for a limited period.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to access, correct or delete data concerning you.

Since Bacula News does not create user accounts and does not intentionally collect identifying visitor information, in many cases we may not be able to identify data related to a specific visitor.

If you contact us by email, you may request access to, correction of or deletion of your correspondence, unless we are required to keep it for legal or security reasons.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, CMS configuration or legal requirements.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
