We collect information in the following ways:

1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide

Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any details you include in your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
Comments: If you leave a comment on one of our blog posts, we collect the data you enter (name, email, website – optional) and your IP address. This helps us prevent spam and maintain a constructive community.

Cookies and similar technologies: We use minimal cookies to improve your experience. These are described in Section 3 below.
Basic analytics data: We collect anonymous, aggregated data such as page views, browser type, device type, and general geographic region (country/city level). This information cannot identify you personally and helps us understand which Motion Graphics topics interest our readers most.

2. How We Use Your Information

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

To respond to your inquiries submitted through the contact form.
To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
To improve our content and website layout based on aggregated analytics.
To ensure the security and proper functioning of the website.

3. Cookies

Beachside Pro uses a limited number of cookies to enhance your browsing experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser. We use the following types of cookies:

3.1 Essential / Functional Cookies

Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help maintain site functionality (e.g., remembering your comment preferences during a single visit).
Commenter cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details each time.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (e.g., a self-hosted or anonymized service) to collect non-personal data about page visits and user behavior. These cookies are set only after your consent (where required by law) and do not track you across different websites.

3.3 Managing Cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site. To learn more about managing cookies, visit aboutcookies.org.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Beachside Pro may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. We do not control these external data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with via our blog.

5. Comments

When you leave a comment on our blog, we collect the data shown in the comment 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 community guidelines (e.g., spam, offensive language, self-promotion). Your comment data is retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, unless a longer retention is required by law.
Comments: Retained indefinitely to maintain continuity of discussions.
Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized data is retained for up to 26 months, after which it is permanently deleted or fully anonymized.

However, our site may occasionally link to external resources (e.g., software tools, tutorials, or portfolios) for your reference.
