Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to offsetxy.com (the “Site” or “Website”), a blog dedicated to exploring and publishing articles about True Living — thoughtful, intentional, and grounded ways of life. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our blog, leave comments, fill out a contact form, or interact with our content.

By using offsetxy.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site. We will never sell your personal data, and we do not operate an online store or process payments.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form on offsetxy.com, we collect your name, email address, and any message you include. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
Blog comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the content of your comment. Your email address is not publicly displayed — only your name and comment appear.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

Cookies and similar technologies: We use minimal cookies to improve your experience. These include functional cookies (e.g., remembering your comment preferences) and analytics cookies (see Section 4).
Log data and analytics: Our basic analytics tools (such as a privacy-respecting analytics service) collect non-personal information like browser type, device type, referring pages, date/time of visit, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data is aggregated and anonymized — we cannot identify you personally from it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

To respond to your messages submitted through the contact form.
To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
To understand broad reading patterns and improve our content (e.g., which articles are most popular, what topics resonate).
To maintain the security and integrity of the Site.
To comply with legal obligations if required by law.

We do not use your data for advertising profiling, retargeting, or any commercial purposes beyond operating this blog.

3. Comments and Public Content

When you leave a comment on offsetxy.com, your display name and comment are visible to other visitors. Your email address is stored in our database but is never shared publicly. We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or delete comments that violate our community guidelines (e.g., spam, hate speech, harassment).

If you leave a comment, 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.

4. Cookies

offsetxy.com uses a minimal number of cookies. Here is how we use them:

Functional cookies: A cookie is set if you leave a comment and check “Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.” This cookie expires after one year.
Analytics cookies: We use a privacy-focused analytics tool (such as Plausible, Fathom, or a self-hosted Matomo instance) that does not use persistent cookies to track individual users. Instead, it uses ephemeral identifiers or cookieless tracking to count page views and gather aggregate data. No personal data is collected.
Essential cookies: A temporary cookie (session cookie) may be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site, such as remembering your comment preferences.

5. Third-Party Services

We do not use third-party advertising networks, affiliate trackers, or social media pixels. The only third-party service we may use is a basic analytics provider that processes anonymized data under strict data processing agreements. We ensure that any third-party we work with is GDPR and CCPA compliant and does not sell your data.

Our blog may contain links to external websites (e.g., articles we reference). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:

Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, unless a longer retention is required by law.
Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the blog’s content archive. If you wish to have your comment removed, please contact us (see Section 9).
Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymized data is retained indefinitely for trend analysis, but it cannot be linked back to any individual.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification: Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations.
Right to restrict processing: Limit how we use your data.
Right to data portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
Right to object: Object to the processing of your data for analytics purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within 30 days. If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include using HTTPS encryption, secure servers, and limiting access to personal data to only those who need it to operate the blog. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
