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.

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.
2.3. Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These 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.
2.4. 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.
2.5. Analytics (General Clause)
We may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect information about your usage of the Website, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring websites. This data is collected to analyze and improve our Website’s performance and user experience. This information is generally aggregated and anonymized where possible.
3. How We Share Your Data
We are committed to protecting your data. We may share your data in specific circumstances:
- Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Password Reset: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information where required to do so by law or subpoena or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Service or to protect the security or integrity of our service; and/or to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of The Time News Company, our users or others.
- Business Transfers: In the event that The Time News Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction.
4. How Long We Retain Your Data
- 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.

7. Security of Your Data
We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
