This document serves as the Privacy Policy for payresearchpaper.com (“the Website”), explaining our procedures for collecting, using, and safeguarding your personal data.
1. Information We Collect
- Comments: To assist with spam prevention, when visitors post comments, we gather the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string.
- Media: We advise users to avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as this information can be extracted by others who download the images from the Website.
- Cookies:
- After leaving a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, and these cookies are stored for a year.
- For registered users with accounts, cookies related to your login session are kept for two weeks, though they are removed if you log out sooner.
- When you edit an article, a temporary cookie that contains no personal information may be set in your browser.
2. Embedded Content
Our articles might feature embedded content (such as videos or images) from external sources. This content functions just as it would if you were visiting the source website directly. Consequently, these third-party sites might gather your data, employ their own cookies, and monitor your engagement with the embedded material.
3. Data Sharing
- Comments from visitors may be processed through an automated service for the purpose of detecting spam.
- Should you request to reset your password, the resulting email sent to you will include your IP address.
4. Data Retention
- Comments: We retain comments and their associated metadata indefinitely. This helps us to automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments, preventing them from being held in a moderation queue.
- User Accounts (if any): For those who register an account, we store the personal information provided in their user profile as long as the account is active. Users can view, amend, or delete their personal data at any time (the username cannot be altered). Website administrators also have the capability to view and edit this information.
5. Your Rights
For individuals who hold an account on this site or have previously left comments, you are entitled to request the following:
- To receive an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you.
- The deletion of any personal data we have on record for you. This does not include any information we are obligated to maintain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
