Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to squared.top (the "Website"), a blog dedicated to publishing articles, guides, and resources about collaboration tools. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may share with us while using our site. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog.

By using squared.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate a simple blog and improve your reading experience. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide

  • Contact Form Submissions: When you use our contact form (e.g., to ask a question, suggest a topic, or report an issue), we collect your name, 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 an article, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the comment text. Your email address is not publicly displayed; only your name and comment appear on the site.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Cookies: We use minimal cookies to enhance your experience. Specifically, we may use a cookie to remember your comment preferences (e.g., your name and email for future comments) and a session cookie for basic site functionality. These cookies do not track you across other websites.
  • Basic Analytics: We use a simple analytics tool (such as a privacy-focused service like Plausible or a basic log analyzer) to count page views, referrer URLs, and browser types. This data is aggregated and anonymized; we cannot identify individual visitors. We do not use Google Analytics or any tool that shares data with third parties for advertising.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your messages submitted via the contact form.
  • To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
  • To understand general reader interests and improve our content (using aggregated analytics).
  • To maintain the security and functionality of the Website.
  • To comply with legal obligations, if necessary.

We will never use your information for marketing emails, targeted advertising, or any purpose not explicitly listed here.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

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

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functions, such as maintaining session state. These cannot be disabled.
  • Preference Cookies: Used to remember your comment details (name and email) so you don't have to re-enter them each time. You can clear these cookies at any time via your browser settings.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used by our privacy-respecting analytics tool to count unique visitors and page views. These cookies do not contain personal identifiers and are not used for cross-site tracking.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site, but you can still read all articles.

4. Comments

When you leave a comment on squared.top, we collect the data shown in the comments form (name, email, comment text) and 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.

Your email address is never published or shared. We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or delete comments that violate our commenting guidelines (e.g., spam, offensive language, or off-topic content).

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers managed by our hosting provider. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your contact form submissions and comments for as long as they are needed to serve their purpose (e.g., to maintain a conversation thread or respond to a query). Aggregated analytics data is retained indefinitely but cannot be linked to individual users.

6. Third-Party Services

We do not use third-party services that collect or process your personal data for their own purposes, except:

  • Hosting Provider: Our website is hosted by a reputable provider that stores data on our behalf. They do not access your data for any purpose other than providing hosting services.
  • Analytics Service: We use a privacy-first analytics tool that does not track users across sites or share data with advertisers. The tool may set its own cookies, as described in Section 3.
  • Gravatar: If you leave a comment, we may check your email against the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. Gravatar's privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

We do not use advertising networks, social media trackers, or any other third-party scripts that collect personal data.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., if you are in the European Economic Area, UK, or California), 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., we may need to retain comment data to preserve the integrity of a discussion).
  • Objection: Object to the processing of your data for analytics purposes (though our analytics are already anonymized).
  • Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

squared.top is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will promptly delete it.
