Welcome to the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy of FactFeeds. Within this Privacy Policy, we aim to clarify the processes through which we gather, employ, and reveal personal data (as defined herein) that pertains to your utilization of our Services.
Who We Are
Our identity is rooted in our website, factfeeds.net. When we mention “FactFeeds,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” It’s important to clarify that when we use these terms in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to FactFeeds as an entity, which includes the entire FactFeeds organization, or the relevant FactFeeds company that is responsible for the processing of your data.
Comments
When visitors engage with our site by leaving comments, we gather specific data outlined within the comments form. This includes the information displayed in the form itself, along with the visitor’s IP address and their browser user agent string. This data serves the purpose of aiding in the detection and prevention of spam.
Additionally, to enhance user engagement, an anonymized string generated from the email address provided may be shared with the Gravatar service. This facilitates the identification of Gravatar users. For further insight, you can review the Gravatar service’s Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once comments receive approval, the profile picture associated with the Gravatar service becomes visible to the public within the context of the respective comment.
Media
If you decide to upload images to our website, it is advisable to refrain from including images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is significant because visitors to our website possess the ability to download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies
For your convenience, when you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to opt in to save your name, email address, and website information in cookies. These cookies serve the purpose of eliminating the need for you to repeatedly input your details when leaving subsequent comments. These specific cookies maintain their functionality for a duration of one year.
When you access our login page, we establish a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It is important to note that this temporary cookie does not contain any personal data and is automatically discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, our system generates several cookies designed to preserve your login information and your screen display preferences. The login cookies persist for two days, while the screen options cookies retain their functionality for a year. Opting for “Remember Me” extends your login duration to two weeks. However, if you choose to log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.
In the event that you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie, devoid of personal data, simply indicates the post ID of the recently edited article and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, and articles, sourced from external websites. This embedded content behaves in a manner consistent with a visitor directly accessing the external website. Consequently, these external websites may gather data about you, employ cookies, embed supplementary third-party tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content. This monitoring extends to instances where you have an account and are logged in to the external website.
Data Sharing
In the event of a password reset request, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
For comments, both the comments themselves and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This enduring retention serves the purpose of facilitating the automatic approval of follow-up comments, thereby eliminating the need for them to undergo moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we securely store the personal information they furnish within their user profiles. All users possess the ability to view, amend, or delete their personal information at any time, with the exception of their username. It is important to note that website administrators also have the capability to access and modify this information.
Data Rights
If you maintain an account on our site or have left comments, you retain the right to request the receipt of an exported file containing the personal data attributed to you. This file encompasses any information you have provided to us. Furthermore, you have the prerogative to request the erasure of any personal data held by us. However, it is essential to recognize that this exclusion does not encompass any data we are legally obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Destination
