Privacy Policy

Welcome to visionix.xyz (the “Website”), a blog dedicated to publishing articles about Technical Activities. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights when you visit or interact with our blog.

This policy applies solely to information collected through visionix.xyz. It does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from our articles. By using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Your email address is never published or shared. We retain your comment and its metadata indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
