Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Welcome to TheBlogpost (“we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit theblogpost.net (the “Site”). For questions, contact contact@theblogpost.net.

This page provides general information and is not legal advice.

1) Who We Are

2) Scope

This Policy covers information processed when you read our articles, use search, submit a contact form, or post comments. It does not cover third-party websites or apps we link to—please review their policies separately.

3) Information We Collect

  • Information you provide: name, email address, and message content when you contact us or submit comments.
  • Usage & analytics: pages viewed, time on page, referring URLs, approximate location (city/country), device/browser type.
  • Log & security data: IP address and user-agent may be processed briefly to prevent abuse, rate-limit, and diagnose errors.
  • Cookies & local storage: used for preferences and performance measurement (see “Cookies & Tracking”).
  • Public submissions: information you publish in comments may be visible to others.

4) How We Use Information

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and editorial content.
  • Respond to inquiries and moderate comments or submissions.
  • Analyse aggregate readership to plan topics for our audience.
  • Detect, prevent, and address spam, fraud, or security incidents.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce terms and policies.

5) Legal Bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies or optional newsletters.
  • Legitimate interests — security, basic measurement, improving content, and responding to inquiries.
  • Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose data.

6) Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies and similar technologies:

  • Strictly necessary: security, load balancing, and anti-spam (cannot be disabled).
  • Performance/analytics: aggregate statistics about how the Site is used. Where required by law, we obtain consent before setting these cookies.

You can control cookies via your browser settings and—if shown—our cookie banner. Disabling some cookies may affect features such as posting comments.

7) Third-Party Services, Links & Affiliates

We may use trusted providers for hosting, security, analytics, or email. Articles may include sponsored content or affiliate links; sponsored items are labelled and may use rel="sponsored". Editorial links are independent and not sold.

8) How We Share Information

  • Service providers operating under confidentiality and data-processing terms.
  • Legal disclosures when required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
  • Business transfers in connection with a merger or acquisition, subject to this Policy.

We do not sell personal information for money. See CCPA choices below.

9) International Transfers

Information may be processed on servers outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) for cross-border transfers.

10) Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. Aggregated or anonymised analytics may be stored longer to analyse trends.

11) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (HTTPS, access controls, monitoring). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

12) Your Rights

  • GDPR/UK GDPR: rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection; you can withdraw consent at any time.
  • California (CCPA/CPRA): rights to know, delete, correct, and opt-out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To exercise rights, email contact@theblogpost.net. We may request information to verify your identity.

13) Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (CCPA)

We do not sell personal information as commonly understood. To opt-out of any sale or sharing for targeted advertising (where applicable), contact us at contact@theblogpost.net with the subject “CCPA Opt-Out”.

14) Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

15) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above indicates the latest revision. Significant changes will be announced on this page.
