What this policy covers
This policy explains what information reaches sprucelandscape3d.com when you read our articles, how we use it, who helps us run the site, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. It applies only to this website.
What we collect when you visit
We do not run advertising, affiliate tracking, or analytics on this site. We do not have public user registration or comment features, and we do not take orders or payments.
Like most websites, our hosting environment and content delivery network record technical details about each request so the site can be delivered securely and reliably. These server logs typically include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the URL requested, referrer, the browser and device type, and error or status codes.
Cookies and local storage
Spruce & Spatial uses only limited cookies that are necessary for the site to function:
• WordPress sets session cookies for the single registered site administrator to manage the site. Regular readers do not receive these admin cookies.
• Our caching and content delivery layers may place cookies or similar identifiers to route traffic efficiently, balance load, and defend against abusive activity.
We do not use cookies for advertising or audience measurement on this site. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
If you email us
We do not use contact forms. If you write to us by email, we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any headers or attachments your mail service includes. We use this information to reply and to handle the matter you raised, such as editorial pitches, partnership inquiries, DMCA notices, or privacy requests.
Why we use this information
• To operate, secure, and debug the website, including preventing abuse and diagnosing outages (based on our legitimate interests in keeping the site available).
• To respond to correspondence you initiate and maintain a record of those communications where reasonably necessary.
Who helps us run the site
We share information only with service providers that enable the site to function. This includes our web host and content delivery network, which process server logs and deliver content, and our email service providers, which process your messages. These providers act on our instructions. We do not sell or rent personal information.
Retention
Server and CDN logs are kept for a limited period for security and operations, and may be retained longer when investigating issues. Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to manage our ongoing relationship and records, then deleted or archived in line with standard business practice.
International transfers
Because a content delivery network is involved, requests to this site may be routed through data centers in multiple countries. Email you send to us may be processed by mail providers in various regions. We apply the same approach described here regardless of where processing occurs.
Your choices and rights
You can contact us to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, delete it, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Where applicable, you may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in your country.
To exercise any of these rights, please email [email protected].
Children
Our content is aimed at a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page. Your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
