This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit https://iolanta.org (the “Website”).
Our Website address is: https://iolanta.org.
When you leave a comment on the Website, we collect the information shown in the comment form (for example, your name, email address, website URL, and comment text), as well as your IP address and browser user agent string. We use this information to help prevent spam and maintain the security of the Website.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile image associated with that email address. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) may be visible to the public next to your comment. Gravatar’s Privacy Policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
If you upload images to the Website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images and may be able to extract location data from those files.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function properly and improve your experience.
Comment cookies. If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies typically remain for one year.
Login cookies. If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, and screen options cookies typically last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for up to two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies are removed.
Editing cookies. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It typically expires after one day.
Articles on the Website may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that other website directly.
Those third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content. This may include tracking your interactions if you have an account on that website and are logged in.
We may share limited data with service providers that help us operate the Website (for example, spam detection tools). We do not sell your personal data.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email as a security measure.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
If you register on the Website (if available), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except you may not be able to change your username. Website administrators may also access and edit this information to manage the Website.
If you have an account on this Website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including the data you provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data. Please note that we may retain certain information where required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
