Comments
When you leave comments on GemVortex.com, we gather the data present in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser’s user agent string to aid in detecting spam.
For those using Gravatar, an anonymized string derived from your email (referred to as a hash) might be sent to the Gravatar service. You can learn more about Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible, linked with your comment.
Media
If you’re uploading images to GemVortex.com, it’s advisable to steer clear of images containing embedded location details (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can potentially download and extract this location information from our site’s images.
Cookies
Opting to comment on our site allows you to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies remain for a year.
If you access our login page, a temporary cookie checks your browser’s cookie acceptance. This cookie doesn’t store personal data and is deleted once you shut your browser.
Logging in sets up cookies to remember your login data and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, while screen options cookies remain for a year. If “Remember Me” is chosen, your login continues for two weeks. Logging out deletes the login cookies.
Editing or publishing an article creates an additional cookie in your browser, which records the post ID of your recent edit and expires after a day.
Embedded Content
Some articles on GemVortex.com might feature embedded content like videos, images, and other articles. This embedded content from external sites behaves as if you’ve directly visited these sites.
These sites may gather data, use cookies, and embed further third-party tracking, which can monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you’re logged into these websites.
Data Sharing
Should you initiate a password reset, the reset email will contain your IP address.
Data Retention
Leaving a comment will mean its data and metadata are stored indefinitely, allowing us to instantly recognize and approve subsequent comments rather than keeping them in a moderation queue.
For those registering on GemVortex.com, we store the personal details given in their user profile. While users can view, modify, or remove their personal details at any point (except for altering their username), website administrators can view and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you’ve registered an account or commented on GemVortex.com, you can request an export of your personal data we have, and/or ask us to erase this data. This doesn’t cover data we need to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Data Usage
Comments made by visitors could be verified via an automated spam detection service.
Our commitment is to safeguard your privacy. If you have questions about our privacy practices, please contact us directly.
