What this policy covers
This policy explains what information is collected when you visit thelight-house.net, why it is used, who can see it, and how you can exercise your rights. It applies only to this site.
What we collect when you visit
Hosting and content delivery: Our web host and content delivery network (CDN) keep standard server logs. These logs typically include your IP address, browser or device information (user agent), and the time of your request. They use this to deliver pages, keep the site reliable, and investigate technical issues.
Comments: If you choose to post a comment, WordPress collects the information you enter in the comment form (such as name, email address, and comment text). WordPress also records the commenter’s IP address and browser user agent to help reduce abuse and troubleshoot problems.
Administrators: WordPress sets a session cookie for logged-in administrators so the site can function securely. Visitor accounts are not available on this site.
Cookies and local storage
We use only functional cookies set by WordPress and our hosting/CDN to run the site and keep it secure. Examples include:
• a session cookie for administrators, so they can sign in and manage content
• optional commenter cookies that remember the name and email you provided for the next time you comment on this site
We do not run advertising or analytics cookies. For more detail about specific cookies used on this site, see our Cookie Policy page.
Why we use this information
• To serve pages to you and keep the site fast and available
• To maintain security and diagnose problems
• To publish and moderate reader comments you choose to submit
Who can see your information
• Site administrators can view server logs and comment submissions to operate and moderate the site.
• Our hosting provider and CDN process traffic data and log records to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. They act as technical service providers.
• Comments you post, once approved, are public on the article page together with the name you supplied.
How long we keep it
• Server and CDN logs are retained for a limited period needed for operations and security, then deleted or aggregated.
• Approved comments and their metadata are kept so the conversation remains intact unless you ask us to remove them or we retire the content.
• Commenter cookies on your device persist according to WordPress defaults unless you clear them in your browser.
Your choices and rights
• You can choose not to leave a comment. If you do comment, you may request that we edit or remove your comment.
• You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or ask that we delete it where applicable.
• You can object to certain processing, such as retention of an unapproved comment.
Depending on your location, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
Children
This site is a general-audience magazine and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information here, contact us and we will address it.
Updates to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and revise the effective date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
