Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.captions-mostly.com.
Captions Mostly collects information from users in two ways: 1) information users provide voluntarily; and 2) tracking information collected as users navigate through our site. The information we collect depends on what services users access.
Information Provided Voluntarily
We collect information users provide voluntarily, such as when users register for email newsletters, participate in surveys, register for site access, place orders, submit content or comments, etc. The types of personal information collected may include name, username, email address, phone number, address, as well as other information users actively submit to us.
Tracking Information
We use tracking technologies like cookies and web beacons to collect information about site visits such as browser type, operating system, IP address, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information. We do this to understand how visitors interact with our site, track interests and trends, personalize content and recommendations, improve site performance, and for security auditing purposes.
Use and Disclosure of Information
We use information voluntarily submitted to deliver services, provide communications, and customize visitors’ experiences on our properties based on preferences, interests, and other information visitors provide. We also use voluntarily provided and tracking information for analytics regarding site traffic patterns and business operations.
We may work with third-parties that help us operate and market our services. We may share information with vendors, contractors, sponsors or partners to provide relevant products, services, and messaging. We require these parties to handle information consistently with our privacy policy and limit use for the services they provide us.
Your Data Rights and Choices
You have certain rights and choices regarding how we handle personal data. These include accessing data about you, requesting data deletion, and adjusting cookie settings. You can access, change, delete or make choices about personal data by contacting us or using available account tools and settings.
Policy Updates
We may occasionally update this privacy policy to reflect changes to data handling practices. Updated versions will be posted on our website with an updated “last revised” date. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact 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 that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
