What this policy covers
This policy explains what information is collected when you use seodima.com, how it is used, and your choices. It applies to all pages on this site.
Information we collect
This site runs on WordPress. Information reaches us in a few ways:
- Comments. When you leave a comment, WordPress asks for your name, email address, and the comment text. It also records the IP address and browser user agent that were used to submit the comment. This helps with moderation and detecting unwanted activity.
- Server and CDN logs. Our hosting environment and the content delivery network that speeds up the site keep standard access logs. These usually include the IP address, browser or device type, the page requested, referring page, and the time of the request. These logs are used to keep the service reliable and secure and to diagnose issues.
- Administrator access. WordPress sets a session cookie for the site’s administrator when logged in. Registration for public accounts is not open on this site.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses only the cookies needed to run WordPress and optional convenience cookies for commenters.
If you leave a comment, WordPress may offer to save your name and email in your browser so you do not need to re-enter them next time. This sets cookies on your device. If you are an administrator, WordPress sets authentication and session cookies while you are logged in.
We do not run advertising, analytics, or newsletter tracking on this site. No cookie banner is shown because we use only limited, functional cookies.
How we use your information
We use the information described above to publish and moderate comments, operate and secure the site, respond to technical issues, and prevent spam or misuse.
We do not sell visitor or commenter information. We do not show ads or run affiliate tracking.
Who can see the information
– Public: If you post a comment, the comment itself and the name you provide are displayed publicly once approved.
– Site operation: Our hosting provider and content delivery network may process access logs and cached copies of pages to deliver the site efficiently. Their personnel may access logs when needed to operate the service or investigate problems.
– Backups and maintenance: Routine backups and maintenance tools may temporarily handle data contained in the site’s database, including comments.
International transfers
Because a content delivery network is used, your requests may be routed through or stored in caches in multiple countries for short periods so that pages load faster. Access logs may also be stored in data centers located outside your country.
How long we keep data
– Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can preserve the discussion history unless you ask us to remove them or we remove them during moderation.
– Server and CDN logs are kept for a limited period that is appropriate for troubleshooting, performance tuning, and security, after which they are deleted or anonymized.
– Admin session cookies expire automatically according to WordPress settings; commenter convenience cookies remain in your browser until they expire or you delete them.
Your choices and rights
– You can choose not to leave a comment. If you do, you can use a display name of your choice; the email field is required by WordPress to help with moderation but is not published.
– You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, delete it, or restrict or object to certain processing. You can exercise these rights by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. You can also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Children’s privacy
This site is aimed at a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information on this site, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the updated version on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
