Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://peaberry.cloud (referred to herein as "the Site", "we", "us", or "our"). We operate a self-hosted community and notification platform.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

A. Subscriber & System Notifications

If you subscribe to our newsletters, updates, or create an account, we collect your name and email address.

• Purpose: This data is processed natively within our platform's internal infrastructure database to send transactional updates, account confirmations, and user-requested email marketing.

• Consent & Legal Basis: We utilize an explicit opt-in mechanism to verify you are the legitimate owner of the inbox. You can withdraw your consent at any time instantly by utilizing the "Unsubscribe" link located at the footer of our emails.

B. Comments & Profiles

When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with automated 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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After public approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

C. Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the Site.

D. Cookies

• Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site 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 last for one year.

• Authentication Cookies: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

• Session & Persistence Cookies: When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

• Author Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 24 hours.

E. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, lease, or distribute your personal data or subscriber lists to third-party marketing brokers. Data sharing is strictly limited to necessary cloud infrastructure and technical processors required to run this platform safely:

• Email Delivery Infrastructure: Outbound email processing is securely offloaded to automated cloud-based delivery sub-processors. These external delivery networks process the text payload and destination email addresses strictly to distribute messages on our behalf.

• Security & Hosting: Our application runs within a secure environment hosted on cloud infrastructure providers where internal server access logs process visitor IP strings to mitigate distributed malicious activities.

• Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your current IP address will be dynamically included in the automated reset payload email.

4. 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 instead of holding them in a manual moderation queue.

• Registered Profiles: For users that register on our website, we securely store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

• Marketing & Analytical Logs: To protect our platform's deliverability, we utilize automated real-time delivery tracking protocols to monitor downstream email delivery failures. If an email address results in a hard bounce or spam complaint, that operational log telemetry is instantly routed back to our internal content management infrastructure to flag, blacklist, and permanently suppress the target address from receiving future communications.

5. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an automated platform profile account on this site, or have left active comments, you have the right to request 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 execute a complete erasure of any personal data we hold about you. This erasure does not include any underlying systemic metadata we are explicitly obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

6. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments and registration submissions are filtered locally within our own server environment via internal automated spam detection tools before publishing. Outbound email telemetry data (bounces and complaints) passes securely through automated, encrypted routing endpoints operated by our cloud email infrastructure processors.
