Privacy Policy

ImpressionsFlow is a personal photography and writing blog published at https://www.impressionsflow.com. Your privacy matters, and this policy explains what limited information the site handles when you visit.

Information we collect

The site does not require you to create an account, and it does not ask you for personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details in order to read content or browse photographs.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record basic technical information in server logs (for example your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested) for security and to keep the site running. We do not use this information to identify you.

Ratings

Some articles let you give a "star" rating. Ratings are counted anonymously as a simple running total. We do not store your identity, IP address, or any personal data when you rate a page.

Cookies and analytics

A first-party session cookie is used only when the site owner signs in to the private admin area — it is not set for ordinary visitors. We do not use advertising cookies.

With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. These analytics cookies load only after you accept the cookie banner; if you decline, they are never set. You can change your choice at any time. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Maps and third-party services

Some pages (such as the photo map) embed Google Maps to show where photographs were taken. When these maps load, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and may set its own cookies, in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. This happens only on pages that display a map. We do not otherwise share your information with third parties, except where required to by law.

Location in photographs

Photographs published on this site may include the geographic location where they were taken (for example a place name or approximate coordinates), shown as part of the content. This describes the photograph, not you as a visitor.

External links

This site may link to external websites that we do not operate. We have no control over their content or practices and cannot accept responsibility for their privacy policies.

Retention and security

We only keep information for as long as necessary for the purpose above, and we protect it within commercially acceptable means against loss, theft, and unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.

Changes and contact

Your continued use of this website is regarded as acceptance of these practices. We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date below reflects the latest version. If you have any questions about how this site handles data, feel free to contact us.

This policy is effective as of 23 July 2026.
