This policy explains what Limepost (https://limepost-six.vercel.app) collects when you read, sign in, comment or subscribe, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Reading the site: no account needed. To count how often a story is read, your browser marks the story as read for the current tab session; we store only the total count per story, not who read it.
- Accounts: your email address, and the name, username and bio you choose. If you sign in with Google or GitHub, we receive your name, email and profile picture from them.
- Comments and saved stories: the comments you post (shown publicly with your display name), reports you make, and the stories you save (private to you).
- Newsletter: your email address, the topics and frequency you pick, and when we last emailed you.
- Visit statistics: we use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views, which pages are popular, referring sites, and country, browser and device type. It uses no cookies and doesn't identify you or follow you across sites.
- Technical data: our hosting providers keep standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and troubleshooting.
Cookies and similar storage
- Essential: a cookie that keeps you signed in, and your light/dark theme choice stored in your browser.
- Advertising: we show ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on those visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, and learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent first.
- Embedded media: YouTube videos use privacy-enhanced mode and set no cookies until you press play. Embedded X or Instagram posts load content from those services.
How we use it
- To run your account, show your comments and keep your saved stories.
- To send the newsletter you asked for (only after you confirm your address).
- To moderate comments and keep the site safe from spam and abuse.
- To see which stories are read most, using totals only.
- To show ads that keep Limepost free.
We don't sell your personal information.
Who processes it for us
Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting and visit statistics), Resend (sending email), Google (AdSense ads; Google sign-in if you use it) and GitHub (sign-in if you use it). They process data only to provide their service to us.
How long we keep it
Account data, comments and saved stories are kept until you delete your account. Newsletter addresses are kept while you're subscribed; after you unsubscribe we keep the address only to make sure we don't email you again.
Your choices and rights
- Edit your profile or delete your account and everything tied to it from your account page.
- Unsubscribe or change newsletter topics from the link at the bottom of any newsletter.
- Ask for a copy of your data, a correction or deletion by emailing limepostblogs@gmail.com. You may also have rights under laws such as India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act or the GDPR, including complaining to your data protection authority.
Children
Limepost is not intended for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
