Welcome to Crafting Comprehension! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. By using our website at www.craftingcomprehension.com, you agree to the practices described below.
Who We Are
Our website address is: www.craftingcomprehension.com.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (or hash) generated from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from images on the site.
Contact Forms
Information submitted through contact forms (e.g., name, email address) is used solely for customer service purposes and is not shared with third parties.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details next time. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we use cookies to store login credentials and screen display preferences:
Login cookies last for two days.
Screen options cookies last for one year.
Selecting “Remember Me” extends the login for two weeks.
Logging out deletes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie (which contains no personal data) is stored in your browser. It simply includes the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics tools to help us understand how visitors interact with the website. These tools may collect anonymous usage data.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as required to run our site (e.g., spam detection tools) or when legally obligated.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments rather than holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if applicable), we store personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username changes excluded). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:
An exported file of your personal data.
That we erase any personal data we hold about you (excluding data we are legally required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable security measures (technical and organizational) to protect your data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.
What Data Breach Procedures We Have in Place
In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
What Third Parties We Receive Data From
Currently, we do not receive personal data from third parties. If this changes, this section will be updated accordingly.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or user profiling.
Industry Regulatory Disclosure Requirements
We comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations relevant to educational and blogging websites.
