Privacy Policy

About Your Privacy

Hi! This is my personal website where I share stories about my hobbies and interests. Your privacy matters to me, so I want to be clear about what information I collect and how I use it.

This is a small personal project, not a big commercial operation, but I still want to be transparent and follow the rules properly.

What Information I Collect

When you create an account or use the site, I collect:

• Account info: Your email address and username when you register
• Google login details: If you sign in with Google, I get your email and name from Google
• Content you post: Any comments, posts, or images you share on the site
• Basic usage info: Standard web stuff like your IP address and what pages you visit (this helps me understand how the site is used and fix problems)

I don't collect anything sneaky or unnecessary - just what's needed to make the site work and improve it.

How I Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

• Let you log in and use your account
• Display your username, avatar image and "About you" info on comments and posts
• Send you notifications if you've opted in
• Improve the site and fix technical issues
• Respond to any questions or problems you have

I don't sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with random companies. This isn't that kind of operation!

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your data using standard security practices. However, as this is a personal project with limited resources, I can't guarantee perfect security. No website can, really.

If there's ever a security issue, I'll do my best to let affected users know and fix the problem quickly.

Your Rights (GDPR Stuff)

If you're in Europe (or anywhere really), you have rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Ask me what data I have about you
• Correction: Ask me to fix any incorrect information
• Deletion: Delete your account and data on your profile page, or ask me to do it
• Data portability: Get a copy of your data to take elsewhere

Just email me if you need help with any of this - I'm a real person and I'll sort it out.

Third Parties

I might share your information if:

• You use Google to log in (Google handles that login process)
• I'm legally required to (like if there's a court order)
• Someone is doing something harmful and I need to protect other users

I don't sell or give away your data to marketing companies or anything like that.

Kids & This Site

This is an adult hobby site about gardening, electronics, and building stuff. While there's nothing inappropriate here, it's probably not very exciting for kids anyway! 😊

Parents: If your child somehow found this site fascinating enough to create an account, just let me know and I'll help sort it out!

Changes to This Policy

I might update this privacy policy occasionally. If I make big changes, I'll try to let regular users know. The "Last updated" date at the top will always show when it was last changed.

Questions?

If you have any questions about your privacy or this policy, just email me at info[at]scribbits[dot]com - I'm happy to help and explain anything that's unclear.
