Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to marvelx.top (the "Website"), a blog dedicated to publishing insightful articles about 2D Animation. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog.

By using marvelx.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website. We reserve the right to update this policy at any time; changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate a blog and improve your reading experience. This includes:

• Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide: When you submit a comment on an article or use our contact form, we collect your name (or username) and email address. You may also choose to include a website URL in your comment.
• Automatically Collected Information: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This is collected via cookies and analytics tools.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies to enhance your experience. These are small text files stored on your device. You can control cookie settings through your browser.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data solely for the following purposes:

• To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
• To respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form.
• To analyze website traffic and understand reader preferences using aggregated, anonymized data.
• To improve the content and functionality of marvelx.top.
• To detect and prevent spam or abusive behavior (e.g., through comment moderation).

We do not use your information for any commercial transactions, as marvelx.top is a non-commercial blog and does not sell products or services.

3. Comments

When you leave a comment on any article, we collect the data shown in the comment form (name, email, and comment text) along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Your name and comment will be publicly visible on the blog. Your email address will not be displayed publicly.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

4. Cookies

marvelx.top uses cookies for basic functionality and analytics. Specifically:

• Comment Cookies: 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.
• Analytics Cookies: We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that set cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with the Website. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors, where visitors come from, and the pages they visit.
• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser, used to maintain site functionality.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect your experience on our blog, such as preventing comment forms from remembering your details.

5. Analytics

We use basic analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect aggregated data about website traffic and usage patterns. This data helps us understand which articles are most popular and how readers find our content. The information collected is anonymized and does not identify individual users. We do not share this data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Google Analytics may use cookies to track your interactions. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy and opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

6. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on marvelx.top may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We have no control over these third-party data collection practices.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period (up to 12 months) for customer service purposes, after which they are deleted. Analytics data is retained for 26 months before being automatically anonymized.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have left comments on marvelx.top, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (such as Akismet). This service may collect your IP address, user agent, referrer, and comment content to evaluate spam risk. Akismet's privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting provider, analytics services) who assist us in operating our blog, and they are bound by confidentiality agreements.

10. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include SSL encryption, regular security audits, and restricted access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

marvelx.top does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it immediately. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
