This page explains which personal data this blog collects, why, and what you can do about it. The blog is a private, non-commercial website.
1. Who runs this blog
Bella's Blog (anotherwaytolearn.com) is run by Bella Brom, Israel. You can reach me at be********@***il.com or through the contact form.
2. Hosting and server logs
The website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus, and delivered through the same provider's server network. Each time a page is requested, the server records technical data: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the referring page, and your browser and operating system. This data is needed to deliver the website, keep it stable and secure, and detect attacks. It is not combined with other data and is deleted after a short time unless it is needed to investigate an attack. All connections are encrypted (https).
3. Contact form
If you write to me through the contact form, I receive your name, your email address and your message. Giving this information is voluntary, but without an email address I cannot reply. I use it only to answer you. The message is sent by email through the website's mailbox at Hostinger to my personal inbox, which is provided by Google (Gmail). I do not pass your data on to anyone else, and I keep your message only as long as needed for our conversation.
4. Spam protection (CleanTalk)
To keep spam out, the contact form is checked by the anti-spam service CleanTalk (CleanTalk Inc., USA). When you send the form, your IP address, email address and message are checked against CleanTalk's spam database on its servers. To tell people from automated bots, CleanTalk also stores small technical cookies and browser-storage entries (names beginning with ct_ or apbct_) on your device. They do not track you across other websites.
5. Security (Wordfence)
The website is protected by the security plugin Wordfence (Defiant, Inc., Seattle, USA). Wordfence checks requests to the website, including the IP address, blocks attacks, limits excessive requests and records login attempts. This happens on the website's own server; information about attacks may be compared with Wordfence's threat database.
6. Comments
New comments are closed. Older comments remain visible with the name the writer chose at the time. No profile pictures (Gravatar) are loaded. If you wrote a comment and want it changed or removed, just write to me.
7. No tracking, no advertising
This blog uses no analytics, no advertising and no social-media plugins. Fonts are stored on the website's own server, so no connection to Google or other font services is made. Images are compressed in advance by the image service QUIC.cloud; this involves only the image files, not data about visitors.
8. Your rights
You can ask me at any time which data about you I hold, and ask me to correct or delete it. Write to be********@***il.com.
