Privacy Policy

Who We Are
Our website address is: http://racemosaic.com.

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

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we 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 cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the source website, which may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content—including tracking if you have an account and are logged in.

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
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their information at any time (except usernames). Administrators can also access and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request:

  • An exported file of your personal data.
  • The erasure of your personal data (excluding data we must retain for legal or security reasons).

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
