Privacy Policy

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

Scholars Gazette is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors and users. We collect and use personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.

Comments

When users leave comments on our website, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the user’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection purposes. We also use a service called Gravatar to check if the user is using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once a comment is approved, the user’s profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of the comment.

Media

We advise users to avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to our website as other visitors may be able to download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

We use cookies to make it easier for users to leave comments and to save login information. Users may opt-in to saving their name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies will last for one year. When users visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if their browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed. When users log in, we set up several cookies to save login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for a year. If users select “Remember Me”, their login will persist for two weeks. If they log out of their account, the login cookies will be removed. For more information about how we use Cookies, check our Cookie Policy.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our website may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, and articles. These websites may collect data about users, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor user interactions with the embedded content.

Who We Share Your Data With

If users request a password reset, their IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If users 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 who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Users have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about them, including any data they have provided to us. They can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about them. 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.

By using our website, you agree to the terms of this privacy policy and the collection and use of your personal data as outlined in this policy. We may update this policy from time to time, and any changes will be reflected on this page. If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please contact us.
