Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

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

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

1. Information We Collect

We collect only minimal information necessary to operate a blog and improve your reading experience. We do not collect payment card details, billing addresses, or any information related to online purchases — because classact.top is not an online store.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form, we collect your name and email address so we can respond to your inquiry. We also collect the content of your message.
Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the comment text. Your email is used only for verification and follow-up notifications (if you opt in).

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our content. These are small text files stored on your device.
Basic analytics data: We collect anonymous, aggregated data such as page views, browser type, device type, referring URLs, and general geographic location (country/city level). This helps us improve our content and understand our audience. We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
IP address: Your IP address may be logged temporarily for security purposes and to help diagnose server issues. This data is not used for profiling or advertising.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:

To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
To manage and display comments on our blog posts.
To analyze trends, track user engagement, and improve the quality of our articles.
To ensure the security and proper functioning of the Website.
To comply with legal obligations, if required.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for behavioral advertising or create user profiles for commercial purposes.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

classact.top uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide a better experience. Here's how we use them:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our blog. These cookies help us understand which articles are most popular, how users navigate the site, and what improvements we can make. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

3.3 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices (such as language preferences or comment settings) to provide a more personalized experience.

3.4 Managing Cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their preferences menu. You can block cookies altogether, or delete existing cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

4. Comments and User-Generated Content

When you leave a comment on classact.top, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or delete comments that violate our commenting guidelines (e.g., spam, offensive language, or irrelevant content). Your email address will not be published or shared publicly.

5. How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

Secure HTTPS connections for all data transmissions.
Regular software updates and security patches.
Limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
Use of reputable third-party services that comply with data protection regulations.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to help us operate the blog and analyze its performance. These include:

Analytics providers: To collect and process anonymous usage data. These providers have their own privacy policies governing the use of your information.
Comment system: If we use a third-party comment platform, that platform's privacy policy will also apply to the data you submit through comments.
Hosting provider: Our website is hosted on servers that may store log files containing IP addresses and browser information for security purposes.

We carefully select third-party providers that comply with applicable privacy laws. We do not authorize them to use your data for their own purposes.

7. 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 communication, unless a longer retention is required by law.
Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the public record of the blog, unless you request deletion.
Analytics data: Retained in aggregated form for up to 26 months, after which it is anonymized or deleted.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations).

9. Children's Privacy

classact.top is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
