Privacy Policy for Protonium.top

Last updated: July 2026

Protonium.top (the “Site”) is a blog dedicated to publishing articles about the construction industry — from building techniques and materials to project management and industry trends. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our blog, interact with contact forms, leave comments, or view advertisements (including personalized ads served by third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense).

By using Protonium.top, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site. This policy applies solely to information collected through this website and does not cover third-party websites linked from our articles.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Voluntarily Provide

  • Contact forms: When you use our contact form (e.g., to ask a question or submit a guest post idea), we collect your name, email address, and any message you include. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
  • Comments: When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name (or display name), email address, and the content of your comment. Your email address is not publicly displayed; only the name and comment text are visible. We may use your email to notify you about replies to your comment (if you opt in) or to moderate spam.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information (Cookies & Similar Technologies)

Like most websites, Protonium.top uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertisements. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the Site, such as remembering your comment preferences.
  • Analytics cookies: We use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content. These cookies collect anonymized data about pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring URLs.
  • Advertising cookies: Third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) may place cookies or use device identifiers to build a profile of your interests and serve you personalized advertisements on our Site and elsewhere on the web.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To respond to inquiries submitted via contact forms.
  • To manage and display comments on blog posts.
  • To monitor and analyze usage trends and improve our content.
  • To display advertisements, including interest-based (personalized) ads, through third-party ad networks.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for payment processing, account creation, or shopping cart functionality — this Site does not offer e-commerce or paid memberships.

3. Cookies & Your Choices

3.1 Managing Cookies

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect the functionality of certain features on our Site. To learn how to manage cookies in your browser, visit the help pages of your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

3.2 Analytics Opt-Out

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

4. Third-Party Advertising & Personalized Ads

We partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display ads on our Site. These ad networks may use cookies, web beacons, or device identifiers to:

  • Collect information about your visits to this and other websites.
  • Serve ads that are more relevant to your interests (personalized ads).
  • Measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, and browsing behavior. We do not have direct access to or control over the cookies used by these third parties.

4.1 Opting Out of Personalized Ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google and other participating ad networks by visiting the following resources:

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests. You may still see contextual ads based on the content of our construction articles.

5. Comments & Contact Forms

5.1 Comments

When you leave a comment on Protonium.top, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help 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 (if any) is visible to the public alongside your comment.

We may retain your comment and associated metadata indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

5.2 Contact Forms

Information submitted through our contact form (name, email, message) is used only to respond to your request. We do not use this information for marketing unless you explicitly opt in. We retain contact form submissions for a reasonable period for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information for any other purpose.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Comment data and contact form submissions are kept indefinitely for moderation and communication purposes. Analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months. Advertising-related data is managed by third-party ad networks according to their own retention policies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

9. Children’s Privacy
