Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30/08/2026
Hi there, and welcome to ScorpioMagazine!
This website is my personal passion project and operates as a digital magazine. Because I respect your privacy as much as my own, I want to keep things simple, safe, and transparent. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site and how it is used.
1. What Information I Collect and Why
When you browse the magazine, leave a comment, or subscribe to updates, some basic information is collected to help the site run smoothly:
Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, the site collects the data shown in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string. This is purely to help detect and prevent spam.
Cookies: Like almost every website, this site uses cookies. Cookies are tiny text files saved on your device that help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in (if applicable), and ensure the cookie consent banner works.
Analytics: I use basic analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to see which articles are the most popular, what countries my readers are from, and how people navigate the site. This data is anonymized and simply helps me understand what kind of content you enjoy most so I can keep creating it!
Newsletters: If you choose to subscribe to my newsletter, I will collect your name and email address. I only use this to send you the latest magazine updates. You can easily unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any email.
2. Who I Share Your Data With
I will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.
I only share data with trusted third-party services that help me run this hobby site securely and efficiently. This includes:
My website hosting provider.
Spam detection services (to keep the comments section clean).
My email newsletter provider (if you subscribe).
These services have their own strict privacy policies and only use your data to perform the specific tasks I need them to do.
3. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Sometimes, my articles might include embedded content (like YouTube videos, Spotify playlists, or Instagram posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with that embedded content.
4. How Long I Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so the site can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
5. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data held about you. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. (Note: This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
6. Get in Touch
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, how your data is handled, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out to me!
