Who We Are
Our website address is: https://hirabarton.io.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen option cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the other site directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—including tracking if you have an account and are logged into that site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
We may also use third-party services (such as Google Tag Manager or analytics tools) to improve the performance and functionality of the website. These services may collect anonymized or pseudonymized data to track user interaction.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to allow us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request the erasure of personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
