Welcome to orbitify.top (the “Blog”). We are a publication focused on film production — covering cinematography, screenwriting, post-production, and industry insights. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal data when you visit our Blog, interact with our content, or use our contact forms and comment features.

By using orbitify.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Blog.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any details you include in your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your display name, email address, and the content of your comment. Your email is kept private and not publicly displayed (unless you choose to provide it in the comment text).

1.2 Information collected automatically

• Cookies and similar technologies: Like most websites, we use cookies and local storage to improve your experience, analyze traffic, and enable certain features. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
• Log data & analytics: Our servers and third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and the date/time of each request. This data is aggregated and used to understand readership trends and improve our content.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic functionality, such as remembering your comment session or preventing spam.
• Analytics cookies: Help us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Blog.
• Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and prevent the same ad from appearing too often. These cookies may track your browsing across different websites.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Blog.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads

orbitify.top may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks, including but not limited to Google AdSense. These ad networks use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Blog and other websites.

Opting out of personalized advertising

• Google Ads Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to manage your preferences and opt out of personalized ads from Google.
• Aboutads.info: The Digital Advertising Alliance offers a centralized opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info. You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
• Your browser settings: You can also configure your browser to block third-party cookies or enable “Do Not Track” signals.

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads — it means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.

4. Analytics Providers

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Blog. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they view, and what other sites they used prior to arriving. Google uses the data collected only to improve its products and services. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy and opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Comments & User-Generated Content

When you leave a comment on orbitify.top, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or delete comments that violate our commenting guidelines (e.g., spam, harassment, off-topic content).

6. Contact Forms

If you use our contact form, we will use the information you provide (name, email, message) solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not store this data for marketing purposes, nor do we share it with third parties unless required by law. We may retain correspondence for record-keeping purposes.

7. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly or with partners (e.g., to show trends about our readership). We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.

8. Data Retention

• Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
• Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to allow follow-up, after which they are deleted.
• Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google’s data retention policies.

9. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations).
• Restriction: Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
• Data portability: Request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Third-Party Links
