This policy applies solely to information collected through aquafox.xyz and does not apply to any third-party platforms, services, or external links you may encounter.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate a blog and improve your reading experience.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Cookies and similar technologies: We use minimal cookies to remember your comment preferences and to understand basic site usage. No cookies are used for advertising or tracking across other websites.
- Basic analytics data: We collect anonymized, aggregate data such as page views, browser type, and general geographic region (country level only). This data cannot identify you personally and helps us improve our content.

3. Cookies
aquafox.xyz uses only essential and functional cookies. These are small text files stored on your device that help the site work properly.
3.1 Types of Cookies We Use
- Comment preference cookie: Saves your name and email so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you comment.
- Analytics cookie (anonymized): A first-party cookie that helps us count page visits and understand which articles are most popular. No personal data is collected.
3.2 Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You may choose to disable cookies, but this may affect certain features of the blog (such as remembering your comment details). To learn more, visit aboutcookies.org.
4. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Your email address is never displayed publicly and is stored securely. We reserve the right to moderate or delete comments that violate our commenting guidelines (e.g., spam, offensive language).
5. Contact Forms
If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you write. We keep these submissions for a reasonable period for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information for marketing. We will not share your contact form data with any third party.
6. Analytics
We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (e.g., independent or self-hosted analytics) that does not track you across different websites. The data we see includes:
- Number of visitors per page
- Approximate country of origin (city-level data is not collected)
- Browser type and device category (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Referring website (if any)
No personal identifiers (IP addresses stored in full, cookies with unique IDs, or email addresses) are linked to this analytics data. We use this information solely to write better, more relevant interior architecture content.
7. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We may use third-party services (e.g., website hosting, spam detection) that process data on our behalf. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for any other purpose.
- Legal requirements: If required by law or in response to a valid legal request (such as a court order), we may disclose information.
