Data Minimization Principle
At Fact Hub, privacy is built directly into our technical architecture. We do not require accounts, logins, or personal profile creation to browse guides. Readers explore verified knowledge dossiers with full anonymity.
Fact-Checking & Integrity Standards
Every fact on Fact Hub adheres to our multi-stage editorial verification lifecycle:
- Primary Source Verification: Historical, scientific, and technical facts are validated against peer-reviewed literature, university archives, and institutional repositories.
- Cross-Referencing: Multiple independent sources must confirm quantifiable claims (such as energy metrics, ocean cleanup tonnage, or sports records) before inclusion.
- Zero Algorithmic Hallucinations: All summaries and guides are structured and reviewed by human researchers to eliminate common AI citation errors.
GDPR Compliance (EEA & UK)
For readers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we comply fully with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Lawful Basis: Content delivery and performance caching are processed under legitimate interest for public educational access.
- No Tracking: We do not conduct behavioral profiling or transfer identifiable personal data outside the EEA.
- Right of Access & Erasure: Any voluntary inquiry submissions can be inspected or deleted upon request.
CCPA & CPRA Consumer Rights
For residents of California under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
- We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information: Fact Hub has never sold, leased, or traded consumer data.
- We Do Not Share for Cross-Context Behavioral Ads: Zero tracking across third-party properties.
- Non-Discrimination: Every reader receives the exact same unhindered access to all 8 guides and 122+ facts.
