Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to tobaccoz.top (the "Website"), a blog dedicated to publishing articles about typography. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website.

By using tobaccoz.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our blog. We may update this policy from time to time; any changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate a typography blog and improve your reading experience. We do not sell your personal data.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact Forms: If you use our contact form (available at [email protected] or via a form on the site), we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or pseudonym), email address, and the comment text. Your name and comment are publicly visible; your email is kept private and used only for moderation notifications or follow-ups if needed.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies to enhance your experience. These may include session cookies (temporary, deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (to remember your preferences).
• Basic Analytics: We use a simple analytics tool (e.g., a self-hosted or privacy-focused analytics service) to collect non-personal data such as page views, browser type, device type, and general geographic location (country/city level). This helps us understand which typography articles are most popular and improve our content.
• Log Files: Our server automatically logs standard data like your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics. IP addresses are anonymized where possible.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
• To display and manage comments on our typography articles.
• To analyze trends and improve the content and design of the blog.
• To ensure the security and integrity of our Website.
• To comply with legal obligations, if required.

We do not use your data for profiling, targeted advertising, or any commercial purpose beyond operating this blog.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use cookies for:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the Website (e.g., remembering your comment preferences).
• Analytics Cookies: To collect anonymous data about how visitors use the blog (e.g., which pages are most read). We use a privacy-respecting analytics service that does not track you across other websites.
• Preference Cookies: To remember your settings, such as font size or theme preferences, if applicable.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on the blog. For more details, visit aboutcookies.org.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not use third-party services for payment processing, shopping carts, or account creation. However, we may use:

• Hosting Provider: Our Website is hosted by a reputable provider that stores data securely. They have access to server logs but are contractually obligated not to use your data for any other purpose.
• Analytics Provider: We use a privacy-focused analytics tool (e.g., Matomo or a similar self-hosted solution). This tool does not share your data with third parties.
• Comment System: We may use a built-in comment system or a third-party service (e.g., Disqus) that has its own privacy policy. If we use a third-party system, we will inform you at the point of commenting.

We do not integrate social media logins, advertising networks, or any other services that track you across the web.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

• Using SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission.
• Regular security updates and monitoring.
• Limiting access to personal data to authorized personnel only.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, unless a longer period is required by law.
• Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the public record of the blog, unless you request deletion.
