Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Account information. When you register for an account, we collect your name, email address, and a password (stored securely using WordPress's built-in hashing — we never see or store your password in plain text).

Google Sign-In. If you choose to sign up or log in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We do not receive your Google password or access anything else in your Google account.

Comments. Only logged-in, registered users can post comments. When you comment, we store the comment content, the date and time, and your associated account.

Contact form. If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you provide, solely to respond to your inquiry.

Automatically collected information. Like most websites, our server may log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security and troubleshooting purposes.

Cookies

We use cookies required for the site to function — primarily to keep you logged in and to remember your session. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or cross-site tracking.

How We Use Your Information

  • Create and manage your account
  • Let you comment on articles
  • Respond to messages sent through our contact form
  • Keep the site secure and prevent spam/bot abuse
  • Improve the site's content and performance

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share information with:

  • Google, if you use Google Sign-In, as necessary to authenticate you
  • Service providers who help us run the site (e.g., web hosting), bound to keep your data confidential
  • Authorities, if required by law

Data Retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information, including secure password storage and bot-abuse protections on our forms. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent changes.
