Privacy Policy

Welcome to 2fly.top (the "Website"). We are a sports blog dedicated to delivering high-quality articles, analysis, and stories from the world of sports. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our blog, leave comments, use our contact form, or interact with our content.

By using 2fly.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.

1. Who We Are

Website: 2fly.top
Email: [email protected]
Postal address: 375 Main St, Springfield, IL 62701

2fly.top is a personal sports blog. We do not sell products, process payments, or operate an online store. This policy reflects our simple, content-focused operation.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that you voluntarily provide and the minimal data necessary for basic website functionality and analytics.

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the comment text. Your email is kept private and is not published. Your name and comment may be visible to other visitors.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies and similar technologies: We use minimal cookies to improve your experience. These include session cookies for basic site functionality and, if you choose, a cookie to remember your comment author details.
• Basic analytics: We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (e.g., a self-hosted or anonymized service) to collect non-personal data such as page views, browser type, device type, and general geographic region (country/city level). This helps us understand which sports topics interest our readers. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
• Log data: Our server automatically records standard log files including your IP address, browser user agent, referring pages, and timestamps. We retain this data temporarily for security and troubleshooting purposes. Logs are not shared with third parties.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
• To display comments on our blog posts and manage the comment section (e.g., spam prevention).
• To analyze overall traffic patterns and improve our content — for example, learning which sports articles are most popular.
• To maintain the security and integrity of the Website.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising targeting or profiling.

4. Comments and Gravatar

When you leave a comment, we may check your email address against the Gravatar service to see if you have a profile picture. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public alongside your comment.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use cookies in the following ways:

• Comment cookie: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in a cookie. This is for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. This cookie lasts for one year.
• Session cookie: A temporary cookie that enables basic site functions. It expires when you close your browser.
• Analytics cookie: Our analytics tool may set a first-party cookie with a random, anonymous identifier to distinguish unique visitors. No personal data is stored in this cookie.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features of the site (like the comment convenience cookie) may not work as intended, but you can still read all articles.

6. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on 2fly.top may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, tweets, infographics). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you visited that 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 do not control these third-party services.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your personal data with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We may use third-party services for website hosting, spam detection (e.g., Akismet for comments), and analytics. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests (e.g., a court order).

8. Data Retention

• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
• Comments: Retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. You may request deletion of your comment at any time (see Section 10).
• Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymized data is retained indefinitely. Raw, individual-level analytics data is retained for a maximum of 14 months.

9. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have left comments or contacted us, 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] or write to: 375 Main St, Springfield, IL 62701. We will respond within 30 days.

10. Children's Privacy

2fly.top is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately, and we will delete that information.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
