At TheCuriousGyan (accessible at https://thecuriousgyan.com), your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have in relation to your personal data.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://thecuriousgyan.com
This blog is a content platform focusing on business insights, startups, finance, AI tools, digital marketing, and more. Our goal is to empower curious minds through well-researched, reliable information.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, 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 (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) will be visible to the public next to your comment.
3. Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location information from such images.
4. Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience:
- If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and last for one year.
- A temporary cookie is set on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies—this contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.
- When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; display preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” login will persist for two weeks.
- Editing or publishing an article sets a cookie with no personal data that indicates the post ID. It expires after one day.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect some functionalities of the site.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on TheCuriousGyan may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, social media posts, images, etc.). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the source website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to those services.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email to verify authenticity.
We do not sell or trade your personal data with third parties. However, we may share limited data with service providers for analytics, spam protection, and email delivery.
7. Data Retention
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to allow us to recognize and auto-approve any follow-up comments.
- If you register on our website, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information anytime (except for your username).
- Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data, excluding any data we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
To request your data, please contact us at: [email protected]
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, analytics and email marketing tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Mailchimp) may process user data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
10. Security of Your Data
We take reasonable precautions to secure your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
