Website: Applestreet Blog (blog.mk117.dev)

1. Introduction

Welcome to Applestreet Blog. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to run our blog effectively.

Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. All comments are held for moderator approval before being displayed publicly.
Newsletter/Subscriber List: If you voluntarily sign up for our subscriber list via our popup, we collect only your email address. This is used exclusively to send you blog updates and newsletters.
Cookies and Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about how you use our website (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the site). This data is aggregated and anonymous, helping us understand traffic patterns to improve our content.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

Display approved user comments.
Send blog updates to subscribers.
Analyze website performance and traffic via Google Analytics.

4. Data Sharing and Transfers

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted service providers necessary to run our blog (such as Google Analytics and our email newsletter provider), all of whom comply with strict privacy standards.

5. Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For email subscribers, we retain your email address until you choose to unsubscribe.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of our emails.
Request that we delete any personal data we hold about you (such as previously approved comments). This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
