Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [Insert Date]

At The Data Vera (https://thedatavera.com), we take your privacy seriously. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website.

1. Who We Are

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

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string from your email may be sent to the service. Their privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once approved, your profile picture is visible publicly alongside your comment.

3. Media

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from posted images.

4. Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, your name, email, and website may be saved in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
  • Temporary cookies may be set when visiting the login page to check browser support.
  • When logged in, we use cookies to save login information and screen display preferences.
  • Additional cookies are used when editing or publishing articles, which expire after one day.

5. Embedded Content

Posts may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, tweets, or articles).
Embedded content behaves the same as visiting the original website, which may collect your data and track interaction.

6. Data Sharing

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

7. Data Retention

  • Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely.
  • Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal data (excluding usernames).
  • Admins can also view and edit this data.

8. Your Rights

You may request an export of your personal data, or request its deletion — except where we are legally required to keep it.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Comments may be checked via automated spam detection services.
