1. Information We Collect

Comments
When visitors leave comments on ChanelCares.com, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

  • Gravatar Service: An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

If you upload images to ChanelCares.com, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images.

2. Cookies

Comments Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you won’t have to re-enter this information when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

Login Cookies
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

  • When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser, which contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

3. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on ChanelCares.com may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content from other sites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Profiles: For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All 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.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to help prevent spam and improve user experience.

8. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, but please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page with the new effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our practices.
