What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it.
You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors can download and extract location data from images published on the site.
Contact Forms
Information shared through contact or submission forms (like questions, feedback, or story submissions) is used only for communication and content-related purposes.
We do not share this information with third parties.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
When you log in, temporary cookies may be set to verify your browser.
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Display preferences cookies last for one year.
- If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks.
- When you log out, these cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This contains no personal data — only the post ID of the article — and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or links). Embedded content behaves just as if the visitor had visited the external website directly.
These external sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before engaging with embedded content.
Analytics
We may use basic website analytics tools to understand visitor activity (e.g., pages visited, time on site).
This helps us improve learning resources and community experiences — never to track individuals or sell data.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent personal data.
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve future comments automatically.
For registered users, personal details are stored in their profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their data anytime (except usernames).
Administrators can also view and edit user information for moderation or security purposes.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request:
- A copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- That we delete any personal information we hold (except data retained for administrative, legal, or security reasons).
To make a request, please contact us at fictionnfactzone@gmail.com
Where Your Data Is Sent
