Your registration.
Your reading choices.

This notice applies to free reader registration on whatisghkcu.net, a publication in the PepTup Europe / Echo Peptides network.

What is stored and why

We store your first name, normalised email address, registration time, privacy-consent version and optional newsletter preference. This creates a free reading record and allows your browser to open extended guides. Registration is not an email-ownership verification and no confirmation email is required.

Your reading window and cookies

You have a four-minute reading window for this page visit. Your browser holds a random, temporary visit identifier and sends it with reading-access requests so the server can keep a fixed deadline. Moving between guides or returning to the tab does not restart the window. Reloading the page or opening a new page visit starts a fresh window.

The reading window does not depend on a persistent preview cookie. After registration, an essential, HttpOnly access cookie remembers this browser for up to 90 days. Cookies are scoped to this website; registration on one network domain does not automatically sign you into another.

Optional updates

Agreeing to store a registration is required for extended reading access. The research-updates preference is separate and optional. No automated newsletter delivery service is currently connected. We do not send an email as part of registration and do not automatically forward your registration to either brand’s storefront.

Where the record is kept

Reader records are stored in this website’s separate database on the network’s OVH-hosted server. Operational backups may retain a deleted record until they rotate. The application does not sell reader records or load advertising trackers. Visiting an external research or commercial link brings you under that destination’s own policies.

Security and retention

Access tokens are stored as hashes. A short-lived, hashed network-address bucket helps limit repeated signups; the signup rate limiter does not store your address in plaintext. Sessions expire after 90 days; the registration remains until you request deletion. Essential server and hosting logs can be processed for security and service operation.

Your choices

Use Manage reading access at the bottom of the page to sign out, remove an optional newsletter preference or delete your registration. Deletion from the original registration browser removes that website’s subscriber record and its reading sessions. A later browser that enters an existing email receives reading access but cannot alter the original record without the original management session.

Contact and data rights

For access, correction, deletion or a privacy question outside the original browser, contact the network through the contact channels published on PepTup Europe or Echo Peptides. Include the website name and registration email. Never send your access cookie or password. Where applicable, you may also raise a concern with your data-protection authority.
