At DailySciTech, accessible from https://dailyscitech.com, your privacy is one of our main priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that are collected and recorded by DailySciTech and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
We collect various types of information in order to provide and improve our services, as well as to enhance your experience on our site. This includes:
- Personal Information: When visitors leave comments or register on our website, we collect personal data such as name, email address, and any other information you provide.
- Non-personal Data: This includes data related to your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and time spent on our site. This information is collected automatically and used for analytics, improving our site, and detecting spam.
- Media: If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may extract location data from these images.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. For more information, you can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are stored for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Additionally, when you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, these cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
5. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal data with third parties except in the following cases:
- Password Reset: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Spam Detection: Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
6. Data Retention
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users, 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 for their username. Website administrators also have access to this information and can make edits.
7. Your Rights 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 have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except where we are required to retain it for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, including using encryption and secure servers to safeguard it from unauthorized access or disclosure.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated revision date. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting their data.
