Theeverymind is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog (https://www.theeverymind.com/).

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as:
Contact details: Your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us directly.
Communication content: Any information you share when contacting us via form or email.

Comments on the blog

When you leave a comment on an article, we collect the data shown in the comment form (name and email address), as well as the IP address and browser user agent. This data is used to publish your comment, prevent spam, ensure the security of the site and, where applicable, respond to your message.

If you choose to save your name and email address for future comments, this information will be stored in cookies in your browser. These cookies exist solely for your convenience and can be deleted at any time through your browser settings.

Information Collected Automatically

Usage data: Information about your interactions with our site, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent and referral source.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

  • Operate, maintain and improve our website.
  • Respond to your comments, questions and requests.
  • Send newsletters and updates, if you have given your consent.
  • Understand and analyze how our services are used.
  • Protect, detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activities.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Union, our processing of personal data is based on:

  • Consent: When you subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Legitimate interest: For the operation and technical security of our website, including the prevention of fraud, spam and abuse in comments and forms.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

  • Service providers: Companies that help us operate the website (e.g., hosting providers, email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp) and that are required to keep this information confidential.
  • Legal obligations: When necessary to comply with the law, legal processes or governmental requests.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely so that follow‑up comments can be recognized and approved automatically, unless the user requests deletion or removal is required for legal or moderation reasons.
Security logs generated by Wordfence and reCAPTCHA are retained only for as long as necessary for security and incident analysis purposes, and are deleted or anonymized thereafter.

6. Comments, Security and reCAPTCHA

To protect our site against abusive access and spam comments, we use the Wordfence security plugin and the Google reCAPTCHA service.
These services may collect information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and other technical data necessary to detect malicious activity and distinguish human access from automated access.
The processing of this data is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the security of the website, preventing fraud and protecting the integrity of comments and forms.

Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC. When you use forms protected by reCAPTCHA, certain information may be transmitted to Google and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms). The use of reCAPTCHA is strictly for security and spam prevention purposes.

Wordfence is provided by Defiant Inc. The plugin may log IP addresses and browsing patterns associated with potentially malicious behavior, and this data is processed in accordance with the Wordfence Privacy Policy (https://www.wordfence.com/privacy-policy/). This processing is necessary to identify and block attempted attacks against the site.

7. Your Rights

Depending on applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR), you may have the following rights:

  • Access and rectification: You may request a copy of your personal information and correct it if it is inaccurate.
  • Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request the deletion of your personal data.
  • Withdrawal of consent: You may withdraw your consent to receive newsletters at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link included in each email.
  • Portability: You may request the transfer of your data to another controller.
  • Objection: You may object to certain types of processing.

These rights apply equally to data collected through comments, security logs and technologies such as reCAPTCHA, to the extent that they are considered personal data.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@theeverymind.com.

8. Security

We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
