Privacy Policy

Welcome to radiantx.xyz (the “Website”). We are a blog dedicated to publishing insightful articles about Serverless computing, architectures, and best practices. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data when you visit or interact with our blog.

By using radiantx.xyz, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website. We will never sell your personal information or use it for purposes beyond what is outlined here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimal information necessary to operate a quality blog and to interact with our readers. We do not process payments, store credit card numbers, or maintain user accounts with financial details.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message you write. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: If you leave a comment on an article, we collect your display name, email address, and the comment content. Your email is kept private and used only for moderation and follow-up communication (if needed).

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. These include session cookies (temporary) and persistent cookies (to remember your preferences).
• Basic analytics data: We use a simple analytics tool (e.g., privacy-focused analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns: pages visited, time on site, browser type, and approximate geographic region (country/city level). This data is anonymized and cannot identify you personally.
• Log data: Our server automatically collects standard logs such as IP address, browser user agent, referring URLs, and timestamps. We use this for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics. IP addresses are stored temporarily and are not linked to individual profiles.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data only for the following legitimate purposes:

• To respond to your messages and comments.
• To improve our blog content and user experience.
• To monitor and prevent abuse, spam, or security threats.
• To comply with legal obligations (e.g., data breach notifications).

We do not use your data for profiling, targeted advertising, or any form of automated decision-making.

3. Cookies – Detailed Information

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use the following types of cookies on radiantx.xyz:

• Essential cookies: Required for the basic functionality of the Website (e.g., to remember your cookie consent choice).
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymized traffic data (e.g., page views, referral sources). We use a privacy-respecting analytics service that does not track you across different websites.
• Comment preference cookies: If you leave a comment, we may store your name and email in a cookie for convenience so you don’t have to re-enter them next time.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

4. Comments & User Interaction

We welcome thoughtful discussion on our articles. When you post a comment, your display name and comment text are visible to other visitors. Your email address is never publicly displayed. We reserve the right to moderate comments to maintain a respectful environment. Spam, self-promotion, or offensive content will be removed.

If you wish to have your comment removed, please contact us using the details below. We will honor reasonable requests.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated data (e.g., “500 monthly visitors from the US”) publicly or with partners, but this cannot identify any individual.

We may disclose your information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to investigate potential violations of our policies.

We use a limited number of third-party services that may process your data on our behalf (e.g., hosting provider, email service for contact form). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services we request.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary:

• Contact form submissions: kept for up to 12 months after the last communication.
• Comments: retained until you request removal or the comment is deleted by moderators.
• Analytics data: aggregated and anonymized after 26 months; raw logs are deleted within 90 days.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location (including under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws), you have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: Request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations.
• Objection: Object to the processing of your data for analytics or other purposes.
• Data portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days. We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes using HTTPS encryption, regular software updates, and restricted access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

Our blog may contain links to external websites (e.g., documentation, tools, or references). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

10. Children’s Privacy

radiantx.xyz is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has submitted data, please contact us.
