Open Physics Letters is an open-source academic education platform aimed at making physics accessible to everyone. Our platform does not have a user account or registration system; all content is publicly available and free of charge. Our personal data collection is minimal and is carried out solely for the technical operation of the platform and the improvement of content quality.
Our platform collects a limited amount of anonymous data to improve the user experience. This includes page view statistics, browser type and version, device information (desktop/mobile), visit duration, and geographic location (country level). Email addresses submitted through the contact form are used only for the purpose of responding and are not shared with third parties.
Our platform uses two types of cookies. Technical cookies are necessary for remembering your language preference (Turkish/English) and theme selection (light/dark mode), and are essential for the proper functioning of the platform. Analytics cookies collect anonymous usage statistics to help us understand which content receives the most interest. You can disable cookies through your browser settings; however, your language and theme preferences may not be remembered between sessions.
The anonymous data collected is used for the following purposes: improving content quality and identifying the most popular topics, monitoring platform performance and detecting technical issues, enhancing the user experience, and compiling general visitor statistics. The collected data is never used to identify individual users or create profiles under any circumstances.
Our platform utilizes certain third-party services for its technical infrastructure. Content delivery networks (CDN) are used to increase page loading speed, Google Fonts for typography, and Flagcdn for flag images. These services are subject to their own privacy policies. Analytics data is processed only as aggregate statistics, and individual user data is not shared with third parties.
Our platform takes industry-standard measures to ensure data security. All data communication is protected with HTTPS (SSL/TLS) encryption. Server access is restricted to authorized personnel only. In accordance with the principle of data minimization, only the minimum necessary amount of data is collected. Regular security updates and audits are conducted.
