Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.instanewspaper.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture. Privacy policies for Gravatar are available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. You will be able to view your profile picture as soon as your comment is approved.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). It is possible for visitors to download images and analyze location data by downloading and analyzing them on our site.
Cookies
cookies you leave a comment on our site, your name, email address, and website may be saved. Our cookies make it easier for you to leave another comment without having to enter your information again. The cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, you will be asked to accept cookies. When you close your browser, this cookie is discarded.
Additionally, we will set up cookies to store your login information and screen display preferences when you log in. 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.
Your browser will save an additional cookie if you edit or publish an article. 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
Our articles may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. As if the visitor had visited the other website, embedded content behaves the same way.
Data may be collected by these websites, cookies may be used, and third-party tracking may be embedded. If you have an account and log in to the relevant website, you will be tracked when you interact with that embedded content.
Who we share your data with
Your IP address will be included in the password reset email if you request it.
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.
The personal information that users provide when registering on our website is also stored in their user profile, if they choose to do so. 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
We can send you an exported file of the personal data we hold about you if you have an account on our site or have left comments.
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.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
