🛡️ Privacy Policy

Welcome to VNR Tech Blog, which focuses on **Technology, AI, Cybersecurity, Bug Bounty, and Web Development**. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the limited information we collect from you.

1. Information We Collect (Comment Data)

We collect **Personal Information** only when you choose to provide it by leaving a comment on a blog post.

Data Collected:

• Email Address: This is the only mandatory piece of personal information we collect during comment submission. We do not display your email publicly.
• Name (Optional): If you provide a name or handle, it is published alongside your comment.
• Comment Content: The text you submit and the timestamp of submission.

Purpose of Collection:

The **email address** is collected strictly for the following purposes:

1. To **validate** the comment submission (to prevent spam).
2. To **communicate directly** with you regarding your comment (e.g., replying to an inquiry or notifying you of follow-up comments, if such a feature is implemented).
3. It is **never used** for marketing, newsletter subscriptions, or shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We believe in minimalism and respecting your digital space:

• **No Cookies:** Our site **does not use cookies** (including tracking cookies or analytics cookies) to collect information about your browsing activities, preferences, or personal identity.
• **No Direct Tracking:** We do not employ third-party tracking scripts, pixel tags, or web beacons.

**Note:** Standard web server logs may temporarily capture non-personally identifiable information such as your IP address and browser type for security and technical diagnostics, but this data is not linked to your email address.

3. Handling of AI Tool Usage

Our site features AI-powered tools relevant to the topics we cover (e.g., AI in development or cybersecurity). Please note how your data is treated when using these tools:

• **No Input Storage:** We **do not store or log** the specific prompts, inputs, or data you submit to the AI tools on our servers.
• **Real-Time Processing:** Your inputs are sent directly to the third-party AI service provider (e.g., an LLM API) for processing and generating the response.
• **Third-Party Policies:** Use of our AI tools means your inputs are processed according to the terms and privacy policy of the underlying third-party AI provider, not this policy. We encourage you to review their policies.

4. Data Retention and Security

We retain your comment data (**email and name**) for as long as the associated blog post and comments remain published, or until you request its deletion.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the limited personal data we hold. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

5. Disclosure of Information

We will **never sell, trade, or rent** your email address or any other personal information to others. We will only disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

6. Your Rights

Since we only collect information via comments, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data associated with your comments. Please contact us using the information below to exercise these rights.
