Privacy Policy
1. Introduction and Scope
Libya Economy Journal ("the Journal") respects the privacy of visitors to its website and is committed to protecting their personal data in line with the highest professional and journalistic standards. This Policy explains what data we collect, why, how it is used and protected, and your related rights. By using our website or contacting us, you agree to the practices described below.
2. Data We Collect, and Why
We collect the following categories of information:
- Identity and contact data (name, email, phone) when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or submit journalistic material.
- Technical data (IP address, device/browser type, usage data) collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools.
- Any content you voluntarily send us, such as articles, complaints, or inquiries.
We do not process sensitive data (such as political or religious views) except where clearly necessary for journalistic purposes, and only with your explicit consent or under a contractual obligation. We use this data to respond to you, send newsletters to subscribers, improve and secure the website, and meet legal obligations.
3. Cookies
Our website uses cookies to operate efficiently and understand how readers use it. You can disable or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings, noting this may affect some website functions.
4. Sharing and Transfer of Data
We do not sell your data to any third party. We may share it only with technical service providers (such as hosting and analytics) to the extent necessary and under data-protection obligations, or where required by law or a lawful request from a competent authority. Some data may be processed by providers outside Libya; in this case, we ensure that they maintain equivalent protection standards.
5. Retention and Security
We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, after which it is deleted or anonymised. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it, though no method of internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure.
6. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may access, correct, or request deletion of your data, object to or restrict its processing, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@libyaecojournal.com.

Our website is not directed at those under eighteen, and we do not knowingly collect their data without parental consent. Users are responsible for the accuracy of the data they submit through the website.
