Who We Are
Welcome to JNews! Our website address is https://jnews.uk. Your privacy is very important to us, and this policy outlines how we handle your information.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser details, to assist in spam detection.
A hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if set) will appear publicly alongside the comment.
Media Files
If you upload images, please ensure that they do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract this data from uploaded images.
Cookies
To simplify user experience, cookies may save your name, email, and website when you leave a comment. These cookies will last for one year.
When accessing the login page, a temporary cookie is used to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
Once logged in, cookies store login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen preference cookies last one year. Choosing “Remember Me” extends login cookies to two weeks, and logging out removes them.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie specific to the post ID will be saved and expires after one day.
Embedded Content
Our articles may include embedded content such as videos or images from other websites. This embedded content acts as if you visited the external website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, or monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into those websites.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email as a security measure.
Retention of Data
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval of follow-up comments.
For registered users, we retain the personal data provided in their profiles. Users may view, edit, or delete their data anytime, except for their usernames. Administrators also have access to this information.
Your Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an export of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask for your data to be deleted, except for information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Goes
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection tools to ensure the security and integrity of our site.
