Privacy Policy for News-M
Introduction to Our Privacy Practices
Our website address is http://newsm.in. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you interact with our website.
Data Collection from Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect spam.
If you use Gravatar, we may also provide an anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) to the Gravatar service. You can read more about their privacy practices here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once we approve your comment, your profile picture will appear publicly alongside it.
Uploading Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images displayed on our site.
Cookies and Your Experience
When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies help streamline the process for future comments. They remain on your device for one year.
We also set a temporary cookie when you visit our login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and disappears when you close the browser.
When you log in, we save several cookies to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will delete these cookies.
Additionally, if you edit or publish a post, we save a cookie that contains no personal data and identifies the post ID you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. This embedded content functions exactly as it would if you visited the other website.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, we will include your IP address in the reset email.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.
If you register on our website, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete this information at any time (except your username). Our website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Rights Regarding Your Data
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete any personal data we store about you, though we may need to retain certain information for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
We use an automated spam detection service to check visitor comments for potential spam.
