Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

When considering uploading images to a website, there’s a vital aspect to keep in mind. It is extremely important to ensure that the images being uploaded do not contain any EXIF GPS embedded location data. Failing to do so leaves one exposed to the dangers associated with the sharing of undeserved personal information. Whenever anyone visits your website, they can freely download and extract location information from the uploaded images. Such practices could attract people with malicious intent who may use the location information obtained for stalking, harassment, or worse still, harm someone. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that all embedded location data in images be removed before uploading them. To make sure personal data is never shared without proper consent, consider using a reliable software tool that can erase or edit metadata. Protecting your site visitors’ privacy and safety is an essential step towards maintaining high internet safety standards.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We understand the importance of making sure that your information is secure and protected, and that is why we have implemented strict security protocols. Whenever you request a password reset, you can rest assured that your IP address will be included in the email sent to you to complete the process. This is one of the many ways we safeguard your data and prevent unauthorized access to your account.At the same time, we also believe in being transparent with our data retention policies. For instance, when you leave a comment on our website, we keep that comment and its associated metadata indefinitely. This helps us expedite the approval of any follow-up comments you or others may make, without them needing to go through any kind of moderation queue. If you choose to register on our website, we will store all the personal information you provide in your user profile to ensure that we can cater to your needs better. However, it is worth noting that you have complete control over your data, and you can edit or delete your personal information yourself, with the exception of your username, which cannot be changed. Similarly, our website administrators may also have access to your personal information but will only use it as necessary and with the utmost discretion.

Where your data is sent

When visitors leave comments on a website, it’s important to note that the website owner may use a third party service to detect and remove spam. This spam detection service analyzes the comments using advanced algorithms to determine whether the comment is legitimate or harmful. So, if you leave a comment, please be aware that the comment will be sent to a server for examination. These spam detection services are incredibly essential to protect websites and visitors from spam, malicious content and harmful links. These services scrutinize thousands of comments at lightning speed and identify spam comments with high precision every time. Therefore, as a website owner, it’s important to use a reliable spam detection service. Although visitors’ comments may be analyzed, most good spam detection services have stringent privacy policies that safeguard the data they collect. Therefore, visitor’s personal information is normally not at risk. However, website owners should still take extra measures to ensure that their visitors’ data is protected.
