Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Cloudhim ("Cloudhim," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you visit cloudhim.com (the "Site"). Cloudhim is an independent technical publication about cloud infrastructure; we are not a hosting provider or cloud service, and we do not require an account to read the Site.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly
If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we receive whatever information you include — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the Site may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring URLs. This is typically collected through:
- Cloudflare, which provides our CDN, DNS, and basic security services, and processes standard web traffic logs as part of delivering the Site to you.
- Analytics tools, if enabled, used in aggregate to understand which content is useful and how the Site is used. We do not use analytics to build individual profiles for advertising purposes.
- Cookies, small text files stored in your browser. We use cookies only where necessary for the Site to function and, if analytics are enabled, to distinguish visits. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some Site features may not work correctly without them.
Advertising and affiliate links
Cloudhim may, now or in the future, include display advertising or affiliate links to cloud providers, hosting companies, or developer tools. Where a link is an affiliate link, we may earn a commission if you sign up or make a purchase through it, at no additional cost to you. Ad networks and affiliate partners may set their own cookies or use their own tracking technology, governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review separately.
How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Respond to inquiries sent to us directly
- Understand aggregate readership and content performance
- Detect and prevent abuse, spam, or security issues
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services
The Site relies on third-party infrastructure providers (such as Cloudflare) to operate. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security practices. Articles on the Site may also link to external websites; once you leave cloudhim.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Data retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Direct correspondence (such as emails) is retained only as long as needed to address your inquiry.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make such a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for a general technical and business audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
