About this site and policy
fixArh magazine publishes editorial articles about homes, architecture and design at fixarh.com. This page explains what information reaches our servers when you visit, read, or interact with the site, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies only to fixarh.com and its subpages.
What reaches us automatically
Like most websites, our hosting environment and content delivery network (CDN) generate standard server logs when you load a page. These logs typically include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the URL requested, referrer information if provided by your browser, and details about your browser or device (user agent). We use this information to operate the site, defend against abuse, and diagnose problems.
WordPress may place session cookies for logged-in administrators. These do not apply to regular readers who are not logged in.
Comments and email
Articles may allow readers to leave a public comment. If you choose to comment, WordPress will store the comment itself and the information you provide in the comment form (for example, name and email address). For spam prevention and security, WordPress also records the IP address and browser user agent associated with the comment at the time it is submitted.
If you email us, we will receive your message and the contact details you include. We will use those details to reply and to handle your request.
Cookies and local storage
We use only the cookies necessary to run the site and its comment feature. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and (if provided) website in a cookie so your details are remembered for next time. WordPress also sets cookies for logged-in site administrators.
Our CDN and security layers may set technical cookies needed to move traffic efficiently and protect the service.
We do not run analytics, advertising, or affiliate tracking on this site.
For more detail on cookies used here, see our Cookie Policy.

- Publish and maintain the magazine, including caching and content delivery

Who can see your data
Access is limited to the small team that runs fixArh magazine. We also rely on service providers that enable hosting, content delivery, email, backups, and site maintenance. They process data on our behalf to provide their services. We do not sell your personal information or share it with advertisers.
Retention
Server logs are kept only for the period needed to operate and secure the service and may be retained longer when investigating specific incidents.
Comments are kept as long as they remain published on the site. Comment metadata necessary for moderation and security may be retained to help manage spam and abuse.
Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to handle the conversation and maintain reasonable records.
International processing
Because we use hosting and CDN services, your information may be processed in data centers located in more than one country. We take steps to ensure information is handled lawfully and securely wherever it is processed.
Your choices and rights
You can choose not to comment or to comment using only the details you wish to make public. You can clear cookies through your browser settings.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to certain processing. We will honor these requests where applicable by law. You also may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children
Our content is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will address it.
