Welcome to GimKit.blog. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: http://gimkit.blog.
2. Information We Collect
a. Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your comment.
b. Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) since visitors can download and extract location data from them.
c. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Below is how we use them:
- If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
- A temporary cookie is set when you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Upon login, we set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
- When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
d. Embedded Content
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, and articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction if you are logged into that website.
3. How We Share Your Data
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
4. Data Retention
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow up comments automatically.
- For registered users, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for your username). Our website administrators can also view and edit this information.
5. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, except for data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
6. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure security and prevent spam.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated date.
