Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to pecano.top (the “Website”), a blog dedicated to sustainable investing. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

By using pecano.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate a simple blog and improve your reading experience. We do not collect payment details, credit card numbers, or any financial account information because we do not sell products or services on this site.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact form submissions: When you send us a message via the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments: If you leave a comment on an article, you may provide your name, email address, and the comment text. Your name and comment may be publicly visible. Your email is never published and is used only 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 experience. These may include session cookies for comment functionality and preference cookies (e.g., dark mode).
• Basic analytics: We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (e.g., Plausible or a similar non-intrusive service) to count page views, referrers, and browser types. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
• IP addresses: Your IP address may be logged temporarily for security purposes (e.g., to prevent spam or abuse) and is not stored long-term.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data solely for the following purposes:

• To respond to your messages submitted through the contact form.
• To manage and display comments on blog posts.
• To understand general reader interests and improve our content about sustainable investing.
• To maintain the security and integrity of the Website.

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Cookies

pecano.top uses cookies sparingly and only for essential functions:

• Comment cookie: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name and email in a cookie for convenience. This cookie lasts for one year.
• Session cookie: A temporary cookie is set to manage your session while browsing. It expires when you close your browser.
• Analytics cookie: Our analytics tool may use a cookie to distinguish unique visitors, but it does not track you across other websites.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect some functionality, such as the comment system.

4. Comments

When you leave a comment on pecano.top, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to show your profile picture if you have one. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public alongside your comment.

We reserve the right to moderate or remove comments that are spam, offensive, or off-topic.

5. Contact Forms

If you use our contact form at pecano.top/contact, we receive your name, email address, and the message you write. We keep this correspondence confidential and use it only to reply to you. We will not add you to any mailing list unless you explicitly opt in.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data under their own privacy policies:

• Analytics provider: We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool that does not track individuals across websites. The provider does not receive your name, email, or any personally identifiable information.
• Comment system: Comments are stored on our own server. We do not use third-party comment platforms like Disqus.
• Hosting provider: Our website is hosted by a reputable provider that stores data securely. Their servers are located in the United States.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or any advertising trackers.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary:

• Contact form submissions: retained for up to 12 months, then deleted.
• Comments and their metadata: retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
• Analytics data: retained for 26 months in aggregate form, then automatically deleted.

8. Your Rights

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California, you have certain data protection rights. You can request to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectify any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erase your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
• Restrict processing of your data.
• Object to processing (e.g., analytics).
• Data portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
