Privacy Policy
Who we are
We are an online platform accessible at https://mynamakkal.com/ dedicated to providing valuable content and services to our visitors.
Comments
When visitors engage with our content by leaving comments on the site, we gather the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us in detecting and preventing spam.
Additionally, an anonymized string derived from the visitor’s email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if they have a Gravatar profile. Upon comment approval, the visitor’s profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside their comment.
Media
Should you choose to upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our site can download and extract any location data from images present on the website.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies serve the purpose of convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter your details when leaving subsequent comments. These cookies remain valid for one year.
Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to ascertain if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies are set up to store your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” ensures that your login persists for two weeks. The logout action removes the login cookies.
An additional cookie is saved in your browser when you edit or publish an article. This cookie does not contain personal data; it merely indicates the post ID of the edited article and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) sourced from other websites. Such embedded content behaves similarly to a visitor’s interaction with the originating website.
These external websites may collect data, employ cookies, embed third-party tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Data Sharing
Your IP address will be included in the reset email if you request a password reset.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate the automatic recognition and approval of follow-up comments, bypassing moderation queues.
For users registered on our website, we retain the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except their username. Website administrators also have access to viewing and editing this information.
Your Data Rights
If you possess an account on our site or have left comments, you are entitled to request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have shared with us. Furthermore, you can request the deletion of any personal data we possess. However, this does not encompass data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Data Transmission
Visitor comments may undergo scrutiny via an automated spam detection service.
For any inquiries or concerns regarding these policies, please contact us.
