Who We Are

Our website address is: https://emalynn.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view their privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible.

Media

If you upload images to our website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

When logging in, we set cookies to save your login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login remains for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie storing the post ID will be saved in your browser and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). Embedded content from other sites behaves as if you visited the original site, which may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-ups automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except changing their username). Administrators can also access and edit this data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any provided data. You can also request that we erase any personal data, except data retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
