Luminxel (luminxel.com) is an educational resource covering photography and cinematography. This policy applies to everyone who visits the site, uses our calculators and tools, or contacts us directly. By using the site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information you provide

If you use our contact form or email us directly, we collect whatever you choose to share — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring site, and approximate location. This is gathered through standard server logs and analytics tools.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our calculators and articles. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some tools on the site may not function correctly without them.

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the site, respond to your questions and corrections, understand which articles and tools are most useful, and keep the site secure and free of abuse. We do not sell your personal information.

Luminxel is hosted on Bluehost and uses Jetpack for site performance and security. We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand site traffic in aggregate. These providers may set their own cookies and process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you’d like more detail on how they handle data.

We keep contact form and email correspondence for as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your message, and analytics data for as long as our tools retain it by default. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time using the contact details below.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws like the GDPR or CCPA to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us and we’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Luminxel is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we’ll remove it.

We may update this policy from time to time as the site evolves. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
