Privacy Policy-instasmmhub
Comments:
When visitors leave comments on the site, we gather the information entered in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent data to help with spam detection.
A hashed version of your email address (anonymized) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy via the provided link. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if linked to Gravatar, will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media:
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Anyone who visits the site can download the images and extract embedded location details from them.
Cookies:
If you decide to leave a comment on the site, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. This will prevent the need to re-enter your details when you make future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.
When you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store any personal information and is deleted once you close your browser.
After logging in, cookies will be set to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while cookies for display settings remain for one year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login information will stay saved for two weeks. Once you log out, the login cookies will be erased.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data, only the post ID of the article you just edited, and it expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites:
Articles on this site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Interacting with this embedded content operates the same way as if you were visiting the other website directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your engagement with their content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that particular website.
Sharing Your Data:
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention:
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to and can edit this information.
Your Data Rights:
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we have on record for you.
