Privacy Policy

My name is Ardath Rekha, and I’m the sole owner of the site. My website address is: https://ardath-rekha.com.

All comments and reviews left on this website are processed and moderated using the WordPress plugin “wpDiscuz.” When visitors leave comments on the site, wpDiscuz collects 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/. wpDiscuz also accepts comments from social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Disqus, Google, and others; the data collected in relation to your social media account is used only for displaying your name and profile on your comment. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Your personal information, including email address, is never published, nor retained past what is necessary to display your comment.

If you leave a comment on the 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 or until you clear your cache, whichever comes sooner.

If you visit our login page, wpDiscuz 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.

The little bit of data that you share with wpDiscuz represents the sum total of collected data, as this site has no message board and only members of the staff can log in. I will never sell any of your recorded user data to third parties.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so wpDiscuz can recognize and connect any follow-up comments to prior comments you have made.

If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data the database holds about you, including any data you have provided to wpDiscuz. You can also request the erasure of any personal data held about you. This does not include any data I am obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. No third parties, with the possible exception of law enforcement in the unlikely event of a warrant, will ever be given access to any identifying information.

By posting comments to the site, you agree to follow the applicable statutes of your country or region regarding public comments, agree not to violate the terms of service of any social media site you may use to make the comments, and agree to hold this website and its owner as not liable for any negative consequences resulting from the publication of your comments.
