About this site
TTH Architects is an online magazine. It runs on WordPress and is delivered through standard web hosting with a caching content delivery network (CDN). We do not sell products, run ads, or operate a newsletter. Reader registration is not offered; only site administrators have accounts.
What we collect and how it reaches us
We collect only the information needed to operate a WordPress magazine with an open comment section and to keep the site secure and reliable.
- Comments you submit: If you post a comment, WordPress asks for your name, email address, website (optional), your comment text, and your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection and moderation.
- Administrator activity: WordPress sets session cookies for logged-in administrators and stores basic account information required to run the site. Public registration is closed.
- Server and CDN logs: Our hosting and CDN automatically receive and may log your IP address, request details (such as URLs, headers, and timestamps), and browser information when you visit pages. These logs are used to deliver pages, balance load, and protect the site from abuse.
Why we use this information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- To publish and moderate comments on articles so that conversations remain civil and relevant.
- To keep the site available, secure, and fast through hosting and CDN services, which requires limited technical logging.
- To administer the site, including maintaining the single administrator account and related security measures.
Cookies and local storage
We use only the cookies necessary to run WordPress and optional cookies related to commenting. We do not set analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
- Commenter convenience cookies: If you choose to leave a comment, WordPress can store your name, email, and website in cookies so you do not have to re-enter them next time. These are optional and are set only if you opt in when commenting.
- Administrator session cookies: Required for site administrators to log in and manage content. These do not apply to regular readers.
- For a summary of cookies used on this site, see our Cookie Policy page.
Who can see your information
Access to personal data is limited to what is needed to operate the site.
- Public: Your published comments, your name, and a website URL you provide will appear publicly on the article page after approval. Your email address and IP address are never displayed.
- Site administrators: May view and moderate submitted comments and associated metadata (including IP and user agent) within WordPress.
- Service providers: Our hosting company and CDN process traffic to deliver this website and may temporarily log technical request data. We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers.
Data retention
Comments and their metadata are stored in WordPress for the life of the article unless we remove them or you ask us to delete them. Administrator account data is kept as long as required to run the site.
Hosting and CDN logs are kept for operational and security purposes and are rotated or deleted by those providers on their own schedules.
Legal bases for processing
Where data protection laws require a legal basis, we rely on the following:
- Legitimate interests: Operating, securing, and improving a free online magazine; moderating comments; preventing spam and abuse.
- Consent: Storing commenter convenience cookies when you choose to use them.
International transfers
Because we use a CDN and standard web hosting, your requests may be routed through servers in multiple regions so pages load quickly and securely. Technical request data may therefore be processed outside your country by those providers.
Your choices and rights
You are in control of what you share in comments. You may choose not to comment, or to comment without providing a website URL. You can also block or clear cookies in your browser.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, and to receive a copy in a portable format. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our comments, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal data, we will update this page and revise the effective date. Material changes may also be noted in a site notice.
