Let’s get real about your privacy. This isn’t some corporate mumbo-jumbo designed to confuse you. We respect your data, and this privacy policy is here to tell you exactly how we handle it. No fluff. Just facts.
Comments
When you leave a comment, here’s what happens: we collect the stuff you fill out—your name, email, and the comment itself. Oh, and your IP address and browser details jump into the mix, too. Why? Spam is the enemy, and this helps us fight it.
If you’re rocking a Gravatar, your email’s anonymized into a hash and sent to them to check if you exist. Their privacy policy is here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture shows up next to it. Cool, right?
Media
Uploading images? Pro tip: strip out the location data (EXIF GPS). Otherwise, savvy users could sniff out your exact coordinates. Nobody wants that.
Cookies: Your Tiny Data Snacks
- Leave a comment? We’ll ask if you want to save your name, email, and website in cookies. It’s all about convenience—so you’re not typing it in every single time. These cookies last a year.
- Logging in? We’ll set up some cookies to save your login info and display settings. Temporary cookies check if your browser plays nice with ours, but they vanish when you close it.
- Post an article? We’ll drop a cookie to track your editing, but it expires in a day. Nothing spooky.
Embedded Content
Sometimes, our site hosts videos, images, or articles from elsewhere. When you interact with embedded content, it’s like visiting that external site. They might track you, drop cookies, or snoop around if you’re logged in there. We don’t control their shenanigans.
Sharing Your Data
If you request a password reset, your IP address tags along in the reset email. Simple as that.
Data Retention: How Long We Keep Your Stuff
- Comments: Forever. Yep, indefinitely. That’s so we can auto-approve follow-ups instead of moderating each one.
- Registered Users: If you’ve signed up, we store what you share in your profile. You can edit or delete it anytime, but usernames? Locked in.
Your Rights
You own your data. Request an export of everything we’ve got on you. Or, tell us to delete it. The only stuff we won’t touch is data we need for admin, legal, or security reasons. Fair enough?
Where Your Data Goes
Visitor comments might run through automated spam checks. It’s like hiring a bodyguard for your content.
This privacy policy isn’t just a legal obligation—it’s our promise to handle your data responsibly. If you’ve got questions, shoot them over. Your trust means everything.
Stay disciplined. Stay resilient.
