Effective Date: 21/01/2025
Welcome to The Time News. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website [https://thetimenews.site], particularly if you are a resident of the United States.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: [https://thetimenews.site].
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: [https://automattic.com/privacy/]. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images hosted on the site.
4. Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again next time. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when your browser is closed.
When you log in, we will set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply stores the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
5. 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 exactly as if you had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content — including tracking if you are logged in to their website.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
8. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This excludes any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, feel free to contact us at: [[email protected]].
Thank you for trusting The Time News.
