Who we are

Our website can be found at: https://etherealexcelsior.com/.

Comments

As part of our commitment to user privacy and security, we gather and store certain information when individuals leave comments on our website. This includes the details provided in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string. These measures are implemented to effectively identify and prevent spam activity.

A hashed version of your email address may be generated and sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you have a Gravatar associated with it. You can review the privacy policy of the Gravatar service here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be displayed publicly alongside your comment.

Media

When you upload images to your website, it is important to refrain from including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). This is because visitors to your website can potentially download and access any location data that may be embedded within the images.

Cookies

By providing a comment on our platform, you have the choice to store your personal information, including your name, email address, and website, in cookies. These cookies are designed to enhance your user experience by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter your details every time you leave a comment. The duration of these cookies is set to one year.

When you access our login page, we utilize a temporary cookie to ascertain your browser's acceptance of cookies. Rest assured, this cookie does not collect any personal information and is automatically deleted once you close your browser session.

Upon logging in, our platform will automatically establish multiple cookies to securely store your login credentials and screen preferences. These login cookies remain active for a duration of two days, while the screen options cookies persist for a year. Opting to select the "Remember Me" feature will enable your login session to endure for a period of two weeks. Rest assured, once you choose to log out, all login cookies will be promptly deleted from your device.

When you modify or publish an article, an extra cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and only signifies the ID of the post you have recently edited. It will automatically expire within 24 hours.

Embedded content from other websites

Embedded elements such as videos, images, and articles may be found within the articles featured on this platform. These embedded elements function similarly to when a user directly visits the respective external website.

These platforms have the ability to gather information from users, utilize cookies, incorporate third-party tracking mechanisms, and observe user engagement with embedded content. This includes monitoring interactions with embedded content for individuals who have registered accounts and are currently logged in.

Who we share your data with

When you initiate a password reset, the reset email will contain your IP address.

How long we retain your data

When you post a comment, we store the comment and its associated data for an indefinite period of time. This enables us to automatically identify and approve subsequent comments without the need for manual moderation.

When users sign up on our platform (if applicable), we securely store the personal details they share in their user profile. All registered users have the ability to access, modify, or delete their personal information whenever they choose (excluding the username, which cannot be altered). Our website administrators also have authorized access to view and update this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you are a registered user or have left comments on our platform, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information we have stored about you. This includes any data you have voluntarily provided to us. Furthermore, you can also ask us to delete any personal information we hold.
