This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not access the site.

We operate as a content-focused blog. We do not sell products, process payments, or maintain shopping carts. Our data practices are limited to what is necessary to provide a quality reading experience and facilitate community interaction.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you browse driftx.pro, certain data is automatically collected to improve our content and user experience:

• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use minimal cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., commenter details) and to enable basic analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
• Basic Analytics: We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool (such as a self-hosted or anonymized service) to collect non-personal data including: pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, and approximate geographic region (country level only). This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
• Log Data: Our servers automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the date/time of your visit. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate trend analysis. IP addresses are anonymized where possible.

• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your data for advertising profiling, selling to third parties, or any commercial purpose beyond operating this blog.

3. Cookies

Our Website uses cookies sparingly and only for essential functions. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We use the following types:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic functionality, such as remembering if you have closed a notification banner.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your commenter name and email for future comments (if you choose the "save my details" option).
• Analytics Cookies: Used by our analytics provider to count visits and traffic sources. These are anonymized and do not track you across other websites.

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site, but you will still be able to read all articles.

4. Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services that may process your data:

• Web Hosting Provider: Our hosting partner stores server logs and serves our web pages. They have access to IP addresses and basic request data solely for infrastructure purposes.
• Analytics Provider: We use a privacy-focused analytics service that does not share your data with other parties. Data is retained in anonymized form.
• Email Service (for contact form replies): If you contact us, your email address may be processed by our email provider solely to deliver our response.

We do not use advertising networks, social media pixels, or any third-party trackers that build profiles for marketing.
