Who we are and what this policy covers
New Dimensions Web is an online publication focused on interiors and design. This policy explains what information reaches our site when you browse or interact with it, why we keep it, who can see it, and the choices available to you.
Information that reaches us
You can read the site without telling us who you are. The information we receive falls into these categories:
- Comments you choose to post: when you leave a comment, WordPress asks for your name, email address, and (optionally) a website URL. The software also records your IP address and browser user agent to help prevent spam and abuse.
- Administrative access: a small number of site administrators have user accounts. Registration is closed to the public.
- Server and CDN logs: our hosting environment and content delivery cache keep technical logs of requests (such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and time of access) to operate the service and protect it from misuse.
- Email you send us: if you write to an address on this domain, we will receive the contents of your message and the sender details you provide.
How we use this information
We use information only to run and protect the site and to communicate with people who write to us. Typical uses include:
- Publishing your comment and moderating it for civility and spam control.
- Operating the site, measuring load, fixing errors, and securing the service against attacks (based on server and CDN logs).
- Responding to inquiries you send by email.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses a small number of cookies set by WordPress and our infrastructure:
- Commenter convenience: if you comment, WordPress can store your name, email, and website in your browser so you do not have to re-enter them on your next visit. These are optional and remain on your device until they expire or you clear them.
- Admin session cookies: if you are an administrator and log in, WordPress sets session and security cookies. These apply only to logged-in admins.
- Caching and performance: our content delivery layer may set technical cookies needed to route traffic and serve content efficiently. They do not track you across other sites.
Comments on the blog
Most articles allow comments. When you submit a comment, the content and the details you provide are stored on our WordPress installation. Your comment may be held for moderation before it appears. We record IP address and browser user agent at the time of submission to combat spam and misuse. We do not use third-party spam filtering services on submitted comments.
Who can see your information
Access to personal information is limited to people and services that need it to operate the site:
- Site administrators, who can view and manage comments and site settings.
- Our hosting provider and content delivery cache, which process traffic and keep server logs to deliver the site securely and reliably.
- Email providers that route mail you send to our published addresses.
- Backup and maintenance tools used by our host, which may hold encrypted copies for disaster recovery.
How long we keep it
• Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so conversations remain intact, unless you ask us to remove them or we remove them under our community standards.
• Administrative records are kept only as long as needed for site operations.
• Server and CDN logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymized.
• Emails you send us are retained as long as needed to address your inquiry and maintain a normal correspondence record.
Your choices and rights
You can:
- Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you on this site.
- Request corrections or deletion of your information, including removing or anonymizing your comments.
- Object to or restrict certain processing, such as retaining your IP address with a comment, where applicable.
- Withdraw consent for optional cookies by clearing them in your browser settings.
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country if you believe your rights have been infringed.
Children’s information
This site is aimed at an adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through comments or email, contact us and we will remove it.
Links to other websites
Articles may link to resources on other websites. Their operators control how they collect and use data. Please review their policies when you visit those sites.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page. Substantive changes will apply going forward from the date of posting.
