Welcome to Digitalons.com, where we not only navigate the digital seas but also safeguard the treasures of your personal information. In this age of data, we believe in transparency and want to share with you the hows and whys of our data practices.
Who We Are
We are the digital cartographers at https://www.digitalons.com, mapping out the ever-changing landscape of online marketing and blogging.
The Comments Conundrum
When you leave your mark in our comment sections, we collect a few breadcrumbs: the data you provide in the comment form, your IP address (think of it as your digital home address), and your browser’s user agent string (it’s like your browser’s fingerprint). These help us in our never-ending battle against the dark forces of spam.
If you’re a Gravatar user, we might use your email to fetch your profile picture. It’s like a digital passport photo for your comments. You can read more about Gravatar’s privacy practices at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media Matters
If you decide to adorn our site with images, remember: location data is like leaving a map to your treasure. Visitors can potentially extract this information, so consider scrubbing that data before uploading.
The Cookie Jar
Cookies are like the memory of the internet. They help us remember you and your preferences. Here’s how we use them:
- Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year and save you from typing your details again.
- Login cookies: These are temporary notes we use to remember your login status and screen display choices. They stick around for two days, or two weeks if you choose “Remember Me”.
- Editor cookies: If you edit or publish an article, we’ll save a cookie in your browser. It’s like a bookmark that helps us remember which article you just edited. It disappears after a day.
Embedded Content: A Digital Potluck
Sometimes, we invite content from other websites to our digital dinner party. These guests (videos, images, articles) might bring their own data collection practices, cookies, and tracking methods. They’ll interact with you as if you were visiting their home turf.
Data Sharing: Our Inner Circle
We keep your data close to our chest. However, if you need a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email – think of it as a digital return address.
Data Retention: Our Digital Archive
Comments are like fine wine – we keep them indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators also have access to this information.
Your Data Rights: You’re in Control
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase this data. Of course, we’ll still need to keep some data for administrative, legal, or security purposes – think of it as the fine print of the digital world.
Where Your Data Roams
Visitor comments may be checked using an automated spam detection service. It’s like a digital bouncer, keeping our comment section clean and tidy.
Remember, in this digital age, your data is like your online identity. We treat it with the utmost respect and care. If you have any questions about our privacy practices, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re all in this digital journey together!
