Privacy Policy

At Website Pin, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that are collected and recorded by websitepin.co and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or If you require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.


We value your privacy. We may ask for some personal data when you leave a comment or use our contact form to send us a message.

This site also uses third-party services for analytics, advertising, and other purposes. These services may use cookies or other tools to serve ads based on a user’s prior visit to this and other websites.

On this page, we explain the types of data collected and how it’s used.

We are also working toward GDPR compliance, allowing users ways to opt out of data collection. Logged-in users can manage their account by visiting their profile page to change their settings or delete their accounts. (Currently, we don’t allow users / ask users to log in or create an account on this site, so this does not apply at this moment.)

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

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. 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.

Contact page

When you use our contact page to send us a message, we ask that you enter your name and email address. These will not be shared with third parties, and will not be saved in our database. But they will be visible to this website’s administrators who may want to get in touch to follow-up on news tips or respond to questions.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies, which are small text files that are saved to your computer by your web browser automatically.

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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

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.

Analytics & access data

When you visit websitepin.co, some information is automatically saved by our server, which is managed by currently managed by CloudWays, as well as by third-party services including Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, and Automattic’s WordPress’s Plugin “JetPacks” Stats.

That data includes:

  • Your IP address
  • The name of the page visited
  • The date and time of that visit
  • Your browser type and version
  • Your operating system
  • A referring URL, if applicable (the page you’d previously visited)

This data helps us track response to articles, understand the demographics of visitors to this site, and generally do a better job of understanding and serving our audience.

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.

You can send us a request using our contact page, or if you’ve created an account with websitepin.co, you can log in and visit your profile page to change your settings or delete your account.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services like Akismet.

Your contact information

You can reach us by sending a message through our contact page.

Additional information

What data breach procedures we have in place

In the event of a data breach, we will do our best to notify users within 72 hours by posting an article on the front page of Liliputing and sending an email to all registered users to alert them to the issue and offer suggested next steps.

What third parties we receive data from

Through Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica and WordPress JetPack Stats, we may receive some (mostly anonymized) data about searches that brought users to websitepin.co, pages visited, time spent on the site, and the geographic region and browser and operating system technology employed by users.

Children’s Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

websitepin.co does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

Online Privacy Policy Only

Privacy Policy Updates
