What data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on Newshacker Blog, the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string are collected to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from visitors’ email addresses (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to monitor the usage of the service. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of user comments, users’ profile pictures are visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
Users who upload images to the website should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
All information provided through contact forms will be kept private and destroyed after a suitable amount of time. However, as an external service is used to host this service, Newshacker Blog cannot guarantee the complete security of information provided to us via our contact forms.
In addition, by sending messages to Newshacker Blog‘s email address, you consent to Google’s terms of service for using Gmail.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
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.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
