Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to generalc.top (the "Website"), a blog dedicated to publishing articles about Responsive Design. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may share with us while visiting our site.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. By using generalc.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://generalc.top
Contact email: [email protected]
Mailing address: 1609 Cedar Ln, Madison, WI 53703, United States

We operate a simple blog. We do not sell products, process payments, or maintain a shopping cart. Our sole purpose is to share knowledge and insights about responsive web design.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

2.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide

• Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via our contact form, we collect your name (if provided), email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: If you leave a comment on one of our blog posts, we collect the data you enter in the comment form (such as your name, email address, and comment text). Your email address is not publicly displayed; only the name and comment are visible.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
• Basic analytics: We use a simple analytics tool (such as a self-hosted or privacy-focused analytics service) to collect anonymized, aggregate data about page views, referring websites, browser types, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data helps us understand which articles are most popular and improve our content. We do not track individual users across the web.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider automatically records standard server log information, including IP addresses, browser user agent strings, and the date/time of requests. This data is used for security and troubleshooting purposes and is retained for a limited period.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted through the contact form.
• To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
• To analyze website traffic and improve the content and user experience of our blog.
• To ensure the security and proper functioning of the website.
• To comply with legal obligations, if necessary.

We do not use your personal data for advertising, marketing, or any kind of profiling. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own purposes.

4. Cookies

Our blog uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Comment preferences: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
• Analytics cookies: We use a minimal analytics cookie to count page visits and understand traffic patterns. This cookie does not identify you personally and is used in aggregate form only.
• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that help the website function properly during your visit (e.g., to maintain session state). These are deleted when you close your browser.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this blog may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, code snippets, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you have visited the other website.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We do not control these third-party services and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We use a web hosting provider and an analytics service. These providers have access to the minimum data necessary to perform their functions (e.g., server logs, anonymized analytics) and are contractually bound to keep your information confidential.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order).

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

• Contact form submissions: We retain contact form inquiries for a period of up to 12 months for customer service purposes, after which they are securely deleted.
• Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
• Analytics data: Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 26 months, after which it is automatically anonymized or deleted.
• Server logs: Server logs are retained for 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have left comments or submitted a contact form on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or write to us at: 1609 Cedar Ln, Madison, WI 53703, USA. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Your data may be processed and stored on servers located in the United States. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and to the processing of your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Children's Privacy

Our blog is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to delete such information promptly.
