What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to this website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract such location data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved, containing the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (like videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website admins can also view and edit this information.
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 provided to us. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Compliance under Indian laws
We comply with the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and rules thereunder, especially relating to reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data or information.
We take appropriate measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, by using this site, you accept that no internet-based site can be 100% secure.
