Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to dormant.pro. We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog, which publishes articles about Assistive Technology.

dormant.pro is operated by:

• Publication: dormant.pro
• Contact Email: [email protected]
• Address: 8706 Oak Ave, Portland, OR 97201

This policy applies solely to information collected through our website and not to any third-party sites linked from our content.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate a blog and improve your reading experience. This includes:

• Information you provide voluntarily: When you submit a contact form or leave a comment, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message or comment.
• Information collected automatically: When you visit dormant.pro, we automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages you view. This is done through cookies and basic analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted via contact forms.
• To display and manage comments on our blog posts.
• To understand how visitors interact with our content and improve our articles about Assistive Technology.
• To maintain the security and functionality of our website.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your information for any kind of commercial transaction, as dormant.pro is a blog and not an online store. We do not process payments, sell products, or maintain user accounts for purchases.

3. Contact Forms

When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We retain contact form submissions for a period of up to 12 months for customer service purposes, after which they are securely deleted. We do not use the information submitted via contact forms for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

4. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our blog, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Your comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. You have the right to request deletion of your comments at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

5. Cookies

dormant.pro uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly, such as remembering your comment preferences.
• Analytics Cookies: We use basic analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate our content. This helps us improve our blog.
• Preference Cookies: These remember your settings and preferences to make your visit more convenient.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our site. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across other websites.

6. Basic Analytics

We use a basic analytics service to collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with dormant.pro. This includes data such as page views, time spent on pages, referral sources, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this information solely to improve our content and understand our audience better. We do not share this data with third parties for their own purposes.

7. Data Storage and Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your data is stored on secure servers with restricted access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

8. Third-Party Services

Our blog may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information. We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal data to third parties except as necessary to provide our services (e.g., hosting, analytics) or as required by law.

9. Your Rights

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

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
