Privacy Policy


👋 Hi there! Let’s talk about your data.

My name is Olga, and I am the creator of Microstock.top. Like you, I value privacy and dislike spam. That is why my policy is simple: I only collect the minimum technical data necessary for this blog to function and for me to communicate with you.

I do not sell email lists, I do not share your private data with third parties, and I prioritize your security. Below is the detailed legal document, but the core message is: your privacy is safe here.

1. Who is Responsible (Data Controller)

The Data Controller for this website is the owner and author of Microstock.top.
If you have any questions regarding your privacy, feel free to contact me directly at: admin@microstock.top.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

We collect two types of data:

a) Information You Provide Voluntarily:

  • Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comments form (Name, Email, Website), along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
  • Newsletter Subscription: If you subscribe to blog updates, your email address is used solely to send you relevant content. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in the footer of any email.
  • Contact Forms: Information submitted through the contact form is used only for customer service purposes and is not used for marketing.

b) Technical Data (Collected Automatically):

  • Cookies: Small text files stored on your device to improve user experience (e.g., remembering your language preferences).
  • Analytics: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (e.g., which pages are popular). This data is anonymized and does not identify you personally.

3. Affiliate Links & Advertising Disclosure

Microstock.top participates in various affiliate marketing programs (e.g., Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Skrill). This means we may post customized links provided by retailers to track referrals.

How it works: If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or registration, a cookie is placed on your browser to track the referral. This allows the merchant to pay us a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you. These cookies typically expire after 30-90 days.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
  • Logs: Server logs containing IP addresses are retained for a limited period for security purposes (to prevent DDoS attacks).

6. Your Rights Over Your Data (GDPR & CCPA)

Regardless of where you are located, you have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (“Right to be Forgotten”). This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise these rights, please email admin@microstock.top.

7. Security

We take the security of your data seriously. This site uses SSL encryption (HTTPS) to protect data transmission. Access to the site’s administration is secured with strong passwords and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
