Information we collect
You can read Soil Sages without creating an account. The site may collect limited technical information that is normally recorded by WordPress and web servers, such as IP address, browser type, referring page, date and time of visit, and pages requested. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding how the site is used.
If you leave a comment, WordPress collects the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we use the information you provide to read and respond to your message.
Cookies and analytics
WordPress may set cookies for basic site functions, comment forms, logged-in users, and administration. Soil Sages also uses Google Analytics through MonsterInsights to understand site traffic in aggregate. Google may process technical information such as device, browser, approximate location, and pages visited according to Google’s own terms and privacy controls.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not work exactly as intended if cookies are disabled.
Embedded content and third-party sites
Articles may include links to external websites, research sources, extension publications, videos, or other embedded content. External websites may collect information about you according to their own privacy policies. Soil Sages is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
How we use information
We use information to operate the website, prevent spam and abuse, respond to messages, moderate comments, understand readership in aggregate, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.
Who processes data
Information may be processed by our website hosting provider, WordPress plugins used to operate the site, email providers used to receive messages, Google Analytics, and spam/security tools. Some providers may process data outside Sweden or the European Economic Area. Where required, such transfers should rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent lawful mechanisms.
Retention
Server logs are retained only as long as needed for operation, security, and troubleshooting. Comments may be retained indefinitely so the conversation remains readable and follow-up comments can be recognized. Emails and contact messages are retained for as long as needed to respond, maintain records, and handle follow-up questions.
Your rights
If GDPR applies to your information, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) or another relevant supervisory authority.
