Privacy Policy

Who we are

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

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help with 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

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.

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 one day.

Advertising and third-party cookies (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to collect data such as your browsing behavior, device type, approximate location, and interests, in order to personalize the ads shown to you. Some of our advertising partners may also use technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies for the same purpose.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info (US) or www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU).

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

We do not control the cookies placed by third-party advertisers, and this Privacy Policy does not cover their use of cookies or data. Please refer to the individual privacy policies of these third parties for more information.

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.

Who we share your data with

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

We may also share limited data with third-party advertising partners, including Google, as described in the Advertising and third-party cookies section above.

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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to object to processing, restrict processing, and data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information; however, some advertising activity (such as interest-based advertising through Google AdSense) may be considered “sharing” under CCPA. You can opt out using the links provided in the Advertising and third-party cookies section.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Data collected by third-party advertising partners, including Google, may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, in accordance with those partners’ privacy policies.
