Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to newimage.top (the "Website"), a blog dedicated to publishing articles about conservation and restoration. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website.

Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited information to improve your experience and operate our blog. We do not collect sensitive personal data, payment details, or financial information.

• Personal Information You Provide Voluntarily: When you leave a comment on an article or contact us via the contact form, we collect your name and email address. You may also provide additional content within your message.
• Automatically Collected Information: When you visit newimage.top, we automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and the date/time of your visit.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted through our contact form.
• To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
• To analyze website traffic and user behavior to improve our content and user experience.
• To maintain the security and integrity of our Website.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Comments

When you leave a comment on our blog, we collect the data shown in the comments form (typically your name and email address), your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if you have a Gravatar account) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Your comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

4. Contact Forms

If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use the information submitted via contact forms for marketing purposes. Contact form submissions are retained for customer service purposes but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing without your explicit consent.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the Website to function properly (e.g., to remember your comment preferences).
• Analytics Cookies: We use basic analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies collect anonymized data about page visits, time spent on the site, and referral sources.
• Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your settings and preferences, such as language or region.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

6. Analytics

We use basic analytics services to collect and analyze information about how you use our Website. This helps us understand what content is most valuable to our readers and improve our conservation and restoration articles. The analytics provider may use cookies to collect data such as your IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. We do not link this data to any personally identifiable information.

7. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Website, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and spam detection services (e.g., Akismet). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services we request.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically:

• Contact form submissions and comments are retained indefinitely for customer service and community moderation purposes.
• Analytics data is retained for a period of up to 26 months before being anonymized or deleted.
