Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how eclipsy.top (the “Blog”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or interact with our blog. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant US privacy regulations.
Our blog publishes articles about 3D Animation. We do not operate an online store, process payments, or host shopping carts. This policy covers our use of contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third-party advertising (including Google AdSense).
1. Who we are
Blog name: eclipsy.top
Contact email: [email protected]
Registered address: 3681 Maple Dr, Duluth, Minnesota 90590, USA
2. Information we collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide voluntarily: When you submit a comment on an article or use our contact form, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the content of your message or comment. This is necessary to respond to your inquiry or display your comment publicly.
- Information collected automatically: When you visit our blog, we automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages you view. This is done through cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4).
- Analytics data: We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our blog. These services may collect anonymized data about your interactions with our content.
3. Contact forms and comments
When you leave a comment or send a message via our contact form, we retain the information you provide (name, email, and message) for the purpose of communication and moderation. Comments are visible to other visitors under the respective article. We do not use this data for marketing unless you explicitly opt in. Your email address is never sold or shared with third parties for their own purposes.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. You may request deletion of your comment by emailing us at [email protected].
4. Cookies and tracking technologies
Our blog uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertisements. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.
Types of cookies we use:
- Essential cookies: Required for the basic functionality of the blog (e.g., comment session cookies). These do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about page visits, bounce rates, and user behavior. This helps us improve our content.
- Advertising cookies: We display ads via Google AdSense and other ad networks. These cookies collect information about your browsing habits (e.g., pages visited, clicks) to serve you relevant ads. They may also use device identifiers.
- Third-party cookies: Some embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos) may set their own cookies. We do not control these.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect blog functionality.
5. Third-party advertising and personalized ads
We participate in Google AdSense and may display advertisements from other third-party ad networks. These ad networks use cookies and device identifiers to:
- Show you ads based on your previous visits to our blog and other websites (interest-based advertising).
- Limit the number of times you see an ad.
- Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.
You may see personalized ads as a result of this data collection. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can opt out through the following mechanisms:
- Google Ads Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to manage or disable personalized ads from Google.
- Your Online Choices (EU/EEA): Visit youronlinechoices.com to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating networks.
- AboutAds.info (US): Visit aboutads.info/choices to opt out of cross-site tracking for advertising.
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Visit optout.networkadvertising.org for a broader opt-out tool.
Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will stop seeing ads—only that the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.
6. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share information in the following situations:
- Service providers: We share data with trusted third parties who help us operate the blog (e.g., hosting provider, analytics services, ad networks). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
- Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
- Aggregated data: We may share non-personal, aggregated data (e.g., total page views) publicly or with partners.
7. Data retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
- Comment data and contact form submissions are kept indefinitely unless you request deletion.
- Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months.
- Advertising cookie data is retained by third parties according to their own policies (typically up to 13 months).
8. Your rights (GDPR and other privacy laws)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or certain US states, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: Request deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations).

9. International data transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States (where our blog is hosted). We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place when transferring data from the EEA to the US.
