Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to Karmaxy (accessible at karmaxy.com). We are a blog dedicated to kindness practices, mindfulness, and compassionate living. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have when you visit our blog or interact with us.

By using Karmaxy, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimal information necessary to operate a blog and improve your reading experience. Karmaxy does not sell products, process payments, or maintain user accounts with financial data.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via our contact form, we collect your name (if provided) and email address, along with the content of your message. We use this solely 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 not publicly displayed; it is used for moderation and, if needed, to notify you of replies (if you opt in).

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Cookies and similar technologies: We use minimal cookies to enhance your browsing experience. These may include a comment session cookie (to remember you if you return to comment) and a cookie to remember your cookie consent preference.
• Basic analytics: We use a privacy-respecting analytics service (e.g., a self-hosted or anonymized tool) to understand which articles are most read, general geographic regions (country-level only), and how visitors find our site. This data is aggregated and never tied to your identity.
• Log data: Our server automatically records standard log information such as your browser type, referring URL, and the date/time of each page view. This data is used for security and troubleshooting and is deleted periodically.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your messages submitted via the contact form.
• To publish and manage comments on our blog posts.
• To improve our content and understand what topics resonate with our readers.
• To maintain the security and stability of our website.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

We will never use your personal data for marketing or advertising purposes without your explicit consent, nor will we sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties.

3. Cookies

Karmaxy uses cookies sparingly. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. Here is what we use:

• Comment cookie: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name and email in a cookie for convenience. This lasts for one year.
• Consent cookie: A cookie that remembers your cookie preferences so we don't show the consent banner repeatedly. It expires after 6 months.
• Analytics cookie: If our analytics provider uses a cookie, it is strictly for anonymous, aggregated statistics. You can opt out via our cookie settings tool (available on first visit).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality, but you can still read all our articles.

4. Comments and Community Guidelines

We encourage thoughtful, kind discussions on our blog. When you comment, your display name and comment are visible to other visitors. Your email address remains private. We moderate comments to ensure they align with our values of respect and kindness. Spam, hate speech, or promotional content will be removed.

5. Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services to run Karmaxy:

• Web hosting provider: Our site is hosted by a reputable provider that stores data securely. They process data only on our instructions and are bound by a Data Processing Agreement.
• Analytics provider: We use an analytics tool that anonymizes IP addresses and does not share data with other services.
• Email (contact form): Messages sent via our contact form are transmitted over encrypted channels and stored securely. We do not use email for marketing.

We do not use third-party advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or external comment systems that harvest data for their own purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary:

• Contact form inquiries: Retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, then deleted.
• Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the public conversation, unless you request removal. You can ask us to delete your comment and associated data at any time.
• Analytics data: Aggregated data is retained for up to 26 months; individual-level data is anonymized after 6 months.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations.
• Objection: Object to the processing of your data for analytics or other legitimate interests.
• Data portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, please email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. We may ask for proof of identity to protect your privacy.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and we regularly update our systems. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Visitors

Karmaxy is based in the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., please be aware that your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our blog, you consent to this transfer. We take steps to ensure that your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

10. Children's Privacy

Our content is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our blog.
