Jim Lunsford Privacy Policy
This is the official Jim Lunsford Privacy Policy. I believe in discipline, ownership, and honesty. That means being clear about how your information is collected, used, and protected on this site. No games. No hidden agendas. Just straight talk.
Who I Am
My name is Jim Lunsford, and this is my official site: https://jimlunsford.com. Everything you read here comes from my experience in discipline, resilience, and recovery. The Jim Lunsford Privacy Policy explains how your data is handled when you interact with this site.
Comments
When you leave a comment, I collect the information you share in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details. This helps fight spam and keep the community safe.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string of your email may be sent to their service to confirm your account. You can read their policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture may show publicly next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images, avoid adding files with location data (EXIF GPS). Anyone can download and pull that data from the image. Protect your privacy by stripping it out before posting.
Cookies
Here’s the truth about cookies on this site:
- If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in a cookie. That way you don’t have to retype it next time. These last for one year.
- Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It does not store personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
- If you log in, I set cookies to remember your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, display settings last a year. If you hit “Remember Me,” your login will stay for two weeks. Logging out clears these cookies.
- Editing or publishing an article saves an extra cookie in your browser. It only holds the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.
The Jim Lunsford Privacy Policy makes sure you know exactly how cookies are used.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include videos, images, or links from other websites. Embedded content works the same as if you visited that site directly. Those sites may track your activity, set cookies, or collect data. I do not control what they do.
Who I Share Your Data With
The Jim Lunsford Privacy Policy is simple. I do not sell your data. The only time your information is shared is if you request a password reset. In that case, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long Your Data Is Kept
- Comments and their details stay indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized automatically.
- If you create an account, the personal information you provide is stored in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete it anytime, except your username. Administrators can also view and update profile information.
Your Rights
The Jim Lunsford Privacy Policy makes it clear: you are in control of your data. If you have an account or left comments, you can request a file of the data I hold about you. You can also ask for that data to be erased. I will honor your request unless I am required by law to keep it for administrative or security reasons.
Where Your Data Goes
Comments from visitors may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This is strictly for site protection, not for marketing.
