Welcome to Knowledge Arrows, a blog website designed to provide informative and engaging content for readers worldwide. Our website address is https://knowledgearrows.com, and we are committed to maintaining transparency and ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you have any questions about our policies or need assistance, you can reach us via email at info@knowledgearrows.com.
Information We Collect
When visitors leave comments on our website, we only collect the information necessary for engagement and functionality. This includes your name and email address as provided in the comment form. Additionally, we automatically collect your IP address and browser user agent string to enhance spam detection and security. By leaving a comment, you consent to the collection and use of this data for the purposes outlined below.
Comments and Data Usage
When you leave a comment on Knowledge Arrows, the data you provide (name and email address) is used to manage the comments section and improve user engagement. We also utilize your IP address and browser user agent string to detect and prevent spam. This helps ensure that the comments section remains a safe and enjoyable space for all users.
To further enhance user experience, we may use an anonymized string generated from your email address, also known as a hash, with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. If your comment is approved, your profile picture (if associated with Gravatar) will be visible to the public alongside your comment. This feature adds a personal touch to the community interactions on our platform.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website, please ensure that the images do not contain embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS. This is because visitors to our site can download and extract location data from uploaded images. Protecting your privacy is important, and we recommend removing any sensitive information from images before uploading them.
Cookies
Cookies play an important role in enhancing your user experience on Knowledge Arrows. If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to saving your name and email address in cookies. This option is provided for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies remain active for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This temporary cookie does not contain any personal data and is deleted as soon as you close your browser.
When you log in to your account, several cookies are set up to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login session will persist for two weeks. Once you log out, the login cookies will be removed automatically.
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 will expire after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on Knowledge Arrows may contain embedded content such as videos, images, or links to other articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you have visited those websites directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and include third-party tracking. They may also monitor your interactions with their content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to those external websites. While we strive to provide trusted and relevant embedded content, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit through embedded links.
How We Use Your Data
The primary purpose of collecting user data is to improve the functionality and user experience of our website. Specifically, we use your name and email address to manage and display your comments. The IP address and browser details help us maintain the security of the website and prevent spam or malicious activity.
We do not share your personal data, such as your name or email address, with any third parties for marketing or other purposes. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
If you register for an account on Knowledge Arrows, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and manage user data to ensure the website operates smoothly.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
As a user of Knowledge Arrows, you have full control over your personal data.
