Comments
When users leave comments on the site (https: civilmint.com), we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the user’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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
When uploading images to a website, it is important to ensure that no embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS information) is included. This is because visitors can potentially download the images and extract sensitive location details.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is designed for your convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain active for one year.
If you visit our login page, we create a temporary cookie to check whether your browser supports cookies. This cookie does not store any personal information and is deleted once you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while cookies for screen preferences last for a year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will delete the login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal data but includes the post ID of the article you edited. It will expire after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Some articles on this site may feature embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from external websites functions as if you were directly visiting those sites. These external websites may collect your data, use cookies, incorporate third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content. If you have an account and are logged into those websites, they may also track your specific interactions with the embedded content.
Who we share your data with
When you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for the reset.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without placing them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website (if applicable), we retain the personal information provided in their user profiles. Registered users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed. Additionally, website administrators have access to view and manage this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we have about you, including any information you’ve provided to us. You may also request the deletion of your personal data. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
