What this site is
Design Intensification Gallery is a WordPress publication focused on design topics. We do not sell products, run ads, operate an email newsletter, or embed analytics services. The site has one registered administrator account and public posts organized as a blog.
Information that reaches us automatically
When you load a page, our web host and content delivery layer create standard server logs. These logs typically record your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, and your browser user agent. They are used to keep the site running, diagnose problems, and protect the service from abuse.
WordPress may also set a short-lived session cookie for logged-in administrators. Regular readers who simply browse the site do not need to identify themselves and can read without creating an account.
Comments
Articles on this site may allow public comments. If you submit a comment, the data you provide in the comment form is sent to us along with your IP address and browser user agent. This helps with moderation and spam controls built into WordPress.
If you choose the “save my name, email, and website” option when commenting, WordPress stores those details in your browser so you do not need to retype them on your next visit.
Cookies and local storage
We use only the cookies needed for the site to function:
– WordPress sets cookies for logged-in administrators so they can manage the site.
– If you opt in while leaving a comment, WordPress stores your comment details in your browser for convenience.
We do not set cookies for advertising or audience analytics. For more on cookies used here, see our Cookie Policy.
How we use the information
We use technical logs to operate, secure, and improve the site and to investigate outages or abuse. Comment information is used to publish your comment, communicate about moderation if needed, and keep the discussion usable for readers.
Who can see it
Access to any non-public information is limited to the site’s administrator and the service providers that host and deliver this website. Those providers handle data only as necessary to provide their services. We do not sell visitor or commenter information and we do not share it for advertising.
How long we keep it
Server logs are kept long enough to run the service and troubleshoot issues. Published comments, if any, are kept on the site until they are removed through moderation or at your request. If you ask us to delete a comment you authored, we will remove it from public view; residual copies may remain in backups until those rotate out.
Your choices and rights
– You can read the site without identifying yourself or creating an account.
– You can decline optional comment cookies in your browser; the comment will still work, but your details will not be remembered next time.
– You may request a copy of any personal information we hold about you on this site, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where applicable.
– You may object to our use of your information for site operation if you believe it is improper. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children’s privacy
This site is aimed at a general audience of design readers and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how this site handles information, we will update this page. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
