Privacy Policy for elbow.pro
Last updated: June 2026
Welcome to elbow.pro (the "Website"), a blog dedicated to publishing articles about Fulfilling Living. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not access the site.
This policy applies solely to information collected by elbow.pro. It does not apply to any third-party platforms, services, or external links we may reference. By using the Website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to provide and improve our blog experience. We do not collect payment card details, billing addresses, or any information related to financial transactions, as elbow.pro is a content-only blog and does not operate an online store.
a. Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Contact Form Submissions: When you use our contact form (available at [email protected] or via the Website), you provide your name, email address, and any message you include. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Comments: If you leave a comment on an article, you may provide your name, email address, and the comment content. Your name and comment may be publicly visible. Your email address will not be published but is used to notify you of replies (if you opt in) and to help prevent spam.
b. Information Collected Automatically
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted) for the purposes described below.
- Basic Analytics: We collect non-personal, aggregated data about site usage, such as page views, browser type, device type, and general geographic location (country/city level). This helps us understand which articles are most popular and improve our content. We do not use analytics to build detailed personal profiles.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
- To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
- To analyze site traffic and reader preferences to improve our content and user experience.
- To remember your preferences (e.g., cookie consent choices) and provide a consistent browsing experience.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of our users and ourselves.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the Website, such as remembering your cookie consent preferences.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated data about how visitors use the site. We use a privacy-respecting analytics service (e.g., a self-hosted or anonymized analytics tool) that does not track you across other websites.
- Commenting Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name and email address in cookies for convenience, so you don't have to re-enter them for future comments.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use limited third-party services that operate under their own privacy policies:
- Analytics Providers: We use a basic analytics service to understand site traffic. This provider may set their own cookies, but we ensure they contractually agree not to use the data for their own purposes or to identify individual users.
- Hosting Provider: Our Website is hosted by a third-party provider that may have access to server logs (including IP addresses) for security and maintenance purposes.
- Email Communications: If you contact us via email ([email protected]), your email is processed through our email service provider, which stores messages securely.
We do not integrate any advertising networks, payment processors, or e-commerce platforms.
5. Data Storage and Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure servers, encryption of data in transit (HTTPS), and limited access to personal data.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information 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 retention is required by law.
- Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the public record of the blog, unless you request deletion.
