Privacy Policy 🛡️

Your privacy is incredibly important to us, and we totally get that privacy policies aren't exactly the most exciting thing on the internet. But fear not! We've brewed up a friendly and straightforward guide to how we handle your personal information. So grab your favorite snack, get comfy, and let's have a little chat about privacy! 🍿 #PrivacyMatters

We believe that understanding how your data is used shouldn't require a law degree or a translator. That's why we've ditched the legal mumbo jumbo in favor of plain language and maybe even a dash of humor. Ready to dive in? Let's go! 🎉

1. What We Collect

We keep it simple and only collect what we need:

  • Name and Email Address: So we know who you are and can keep you in the loop with the latest trends. 📧
  • Content You Enjoy: We track which articles you read to recommend more stuff you'll love and to make our content even better. It's like having a personal trend DJ! 🎧

3. Where We Store Your Data

All your data is securely tucked away in the infrastructure of our blog partner (Ghost). Don't worry, it's not haunted—just a fancy way of saying it's safe and sound! 👻

6. Cookies and Other Treats

We might use cookies (the digital kind, not chocolate chip) to enhance your experience. The good news? Our blog partner (Ghost), doesn't set any non-essential cookies by default. That means fewer crumbs and more peace of mind! 🍪 If cookies aren't your cup of tea, you can disable them in your browser settings—but with us, you won't find many to begin with. Sweet, right?

7. Security Measures

We take your security seriously. Our blog partner (Ghost) uses industry-standard measures to protect your data. Here's the lowdown on how they keep your personal information safe and sound:

  • Automatic SSL Encryption: All connections to our site are secured with SSL encryption, courtesy of Let's Encrypt. It's like a secret handshake between your browser and our server! 🤝🔒
  • Standardized Permissions: Our partner configures all our server permissions according to top-notch security standards (think OWASP). The servers don't run as root, so even if someone tries to sneak in, they'll hit a digital brick wall. 🧱
  • Brute Force Protection: Our partner limits login attempts and password reset requests to 5 per hour per IP. No endless guessing games for sneaky hackers! 🚫👾
  • Data Validation and Serialization: Our partner double-checks all data before it enters the database. Think of it as a bouncer for our data club—only the good stuff gets in! 🕴️
  • Encoded Tokens Everywhere: All our invitation and password reset tokens are securely encoded and expire after one use. No room for token thieves here! 🗝️
  • Password Hashing: Your passwords are hashed and salted using bcrypt, following the best security practices. In plain English, even we can't read your password! 🥓 (That's "salted," get it?)
  • SQL Injection Prevention: Our partner uses safe database queries to prevent any sneaky SQL injections. No funny business allowed! 🛑
  • XSS Prevention: Our partner sanitizes everything to prevent cross-site scripting attacks. Our site is a drama-free zone! 🎭
  • Dependency Management: Our partner continually scans all their software dependencies to ensure they're secure and up-to-date. It's like regular health check-ups for our site! 🩺

Rest assured, Our blog partner (Ghost) are on the case 24/7 to keep your data secure. Think of them as the guardians of your personal info—cape and all! 🦸‍♂️
