Diplomatic Gate ("we", "us") operates the Diplomatic Gate website and mobile applications. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. The mobile apps load the same Diplomatic Gate service and follow this policy.
Effective date: 22 June 2026
Account information: when you register, we collect your name, email address, role, and the mission or organization you represent.
Content you submit: updates, events, services, interviews, community posts, comments, and any media or files you upload.
Newsletter data: if you subscribe, we store your email address and the topics or countries you follow.
Usage analytics: we record anonymized events such as page views and interactions to understand how the platform is used. These events are not linked to your identity.
Device push token: if you enable notifications in the mobile app, we store a push notification token provided by Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) so we can deliver alerts to your device.
To operate the platform, authenticate users, publish and moderate content, and provide the services you request.
To send push notifications and newsletters about diplomatic updates, events, and platform activity, when you have opted in.
To analyze aggregate usage, maintain security, prevent abuse, and improve the platform.
Push notifications are optional. On first launch the mobile app asks for your permission. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings, which stops delivery and lets us deactivate the stored token.
We use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications. We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the platform, or where required by law.
We retain account and content data while your account is active. Push tokens are kept until they expire, are replaced, or you disable notifications. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, withdraw consent for notifications or newsletters, and close your account by contacting us.
