Privacy Policy
Personal data
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will 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 will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Data retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Additional information
In an effort to develop a Privacy Policy that meets the unique needs of Chronicles Community Creations’ website users we have made a comparison of Privacy Policies among the world’s most visited websites.
If you were to do so yourself you would quickly discover these policies are obviously written by attorneys for the consumption of other attorneys.
Like you, we have visited literally thousands of web sites and confess, until we were told we needed one we never read a privacy policy.
From what we could see, most of them are quite reasonable (although rather tiring to plod through to the end). The Chronicles Community certainly subscribes to the tenets of the best and most user-friendly aspects of most reviewed thus far. Accordingly, we tried to make ours as “common” and easy to understand as possible.
And until the legal beagles around us insist otherwise we plan to always hold your private information in the strictest confidence. Under no circumstances will we sell, give, rent, lease, share or otherwise provide your information to any individual, organization, company, association, corporation, cooperative, or collective whatsoever without prior approval from you.
After all, since we certainly do not want our privacy violated, how could we in good conscience violate your right to privacy? Please be confident; any private information will be treated as just that, private.
