Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://free-of-junk.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form. Additionally, we record the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
We may provide an anonymized string (also called a hash) to the Gravatar service to verify if you use it. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After the system approves your comment, the public can see your profile picture directly in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. This is because visitors to the website can easily download and extract any location data from these images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These exist for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you write another comment. Furthermore, these cookies will last for exactly one year.
Whenever you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This specific cookie contains no personal data and disappears the moment you close your browser.
Once you log in, our system sets up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. While login cookies last for two days, screen options cookies remain for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Concurrently, logging out of your account will immediately remove the login cookies.
Should you edit or publish an article, your browser saves an additional cookie. This file includes no personal data, simply indicating the post ID of the article you just edited, and expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. This embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited those platforms directly.
Consequently, these external websites might collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, or monitor your interaction with that content. In fact, they may track your interaction if you hold an account and are logged in to that specific website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, the system will include your IP address in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, our system retains the comment and its metadata indefinitely. Therefore, we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we securely store the personal information provided in their user profile. Specifically, all users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, though they cannot change their username. In addition, website administrators can view and update that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you hold an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. This includes any details you have provided to us. Likewise, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold. However, this does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Our system checks visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
