1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you fill out a contact form on our Site, we collect your name, email address, and any message you include. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the content of your comment. Your email address is not publicly displayed; only the name and comment text are visible to other visitors.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our audience comes from. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.
• Basic analytics: We collect non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of each visit. This data helps us improve our content and understand reader interests.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted through contact forms.
• To display and manage comments on blog posts.
• To analyze and improve the content, layout, and performance of the Site.

• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for behavioral advertising or marketing purposes.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses cookies for basic functionality and analytics. Below is a description of the cookies we use:

• Essential cookies: These are necessary for the Site to function properly, such as remembering your cookie consent preferences.
• Analytics cookies: We use a privacy-focused analytics tool (e.g., a self-hosted or anonymized analytics service) to collect aggregated data about page visits, referrers, and browser types. These cookies do not identify you personally.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling cookies may affect some features of the Site.

4. Comments

When you leave a comment on perennial.top, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if using Gravatar) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or delete comments that violate our content guidelines or contain spam, offensive language, or promotional material.

5. Contact Forms

If you use our contact form, we will retain your name, email address, and message for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We will not use this information for any other purpose, nor will we add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

6. Data Storage and Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Your data is stored on secure servers located within the United States. We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for basic analytics and spam detection (e.g., Akismet for comment spam filtering). These third parties have their own privacy policies governing the use of your information. We encourage you to review their policies. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
