Technical/usage data: We use Google Analytics to collect information such as pages visited, time on page, referrers, and approximate location (based on IP). We also use Microsoft Clarity for session analytics such as click/tap interactions and scroll behavior. This helps us understand and improve site performance and content.

Embedded content

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged in to their services. Please review the privacy policies of those services (e.g., YouTube/Google).

How we use your information

To respond to your inquiries and provide support.
To send newsletters if you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in the email or by contacting us.
To operate, secure, and improve the website, including analyzing usage trends and troubleshooting issues.
To detect and prevent spam and abuse (e.g., via Akismet).

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties except as described in this policy.

Who we share your information with (processors)

We use trusted service providers who process data on our behalf and under appropriate contractual safeguards:

Hosting and infrastructure: Namecheap (EU region)
Analytics: Google Analytics; Microsoft Clarity
Spam detection: Akismet
CMS/Comments: WordPress native comments system
Contact form: WPForms Lite

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights and safety, or in connection with a merger or asset transfer (with notice where required by law).

Akismet Anti-spam

We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet Anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

LiteSpeed Cache

This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.

Data retention

Contact form/email inquiries: Retained for the life of the site unless you request deletion, subject to legal obligations.
Newsletter subscriber data: Retained until you unsubscribe. We may retain minimal suppression data to honor opt-out requests.
Analytics and server logs: Retained for up to 24 months, after which they may be deleted or aggregated/anonymized.
Backups: Rolling backups are retained for approximately 45 days.
Comments: Retained indefinitely to support the discussion history and auto-approve follow-ups.

We may retain certain information as required by law or to protect our rights.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access a copy of your personal data.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your data.
Object to or restrict certain processing.
Request data portability.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., your local data protection authority in the EU/UK).

To exercise your rights, contact us at info@postsmix.com. We may request proof of identity before taking action.

California residents: You may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and correct certain personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising your rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; therefore, a “Do Not Sell/Share” link is not applicable at this time. You can contact us to exercise your rights.

International data transfers

We operate from the EU but may use service providers that process data in other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including HTTPS, regular updates, and scheduled backups. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to continuously improve our safeguards.

Children’s privacy

PostsMix is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page with a new effective date, and, where appropriate, notify you via the website or email.
