Last updated: June 2026
Welcome to vaguely.xyz (the "Website" or "Blog"). We are a blog dedicated to publishing articles about 3D Modeling and Texturing. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog.
Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site. By using the Website, you consent to the practices described in this statement.
Who We Are
Our blog is operated by an individual creator based in the United States. Our contact details are:
- Website: vaguely.xyz
- Email: [email protected]
- Address: 7448 Maple Dr, Denver, CO 80202
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways when you interact with our blog. We do not collect payment card information, billing addresses, or any data related to online purchases because we do not operate an online store.
1. Information You Provide Directly
- Contact Forms: If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Comments: When you leave a comment on an article about 3D Modeling or Texturing, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (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.
2. Information Collected Automatically (Cookies & Analytics)
When you visit our blog, we automatically collect certain information to improve your experience and understand how our content is consumed.
- Cookies: We use minimal cookies. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. We also use a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies; this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Basic Analytics: We use a simple analytics tool (such as a self-hosted or privacy-focused analytics service) to track page views, referral sources, and general geographic location (country/city level). This data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not sell this data or use it to identify individual users. We use this information to understand which 3D modeling tutorials and texturing guides are most popular.
- Embedded Content: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., 3D model viewers, YouTube videos, Sketchfab embeds). 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, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate and maintain our blog about 3D Modeling and Texturing.
- To respond to your comments, inquiries, or messages sent via the contact form.
- To improve our content and user experience based on aggregated analytics.
- To detect and prevent spam comments.
- To comply with legal obligations.
How Long We Retain Your Data
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 instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Contact form submissions are kept for customer service purposes for a reasonable period, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.
Analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months before being automatically deleted or anonymized.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have left comments on this blog, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifying information publicly (e.g., "Our most popular article this month was about PBR texturing in Blender").
Third-Party Links
Our blog may contain links to external sites, such as software download pages for 3D modeling tools or reference image repositories. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Children's Privacy
Our blog about 3D Modeling and Texturing is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
