Privacy Policy - Quote Crafty

At QuoteCrafty.com, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have about your personal data when you visit or interact with our website. By using our site, you agree to the practices outlined below.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://quotecrafty.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, display option cookies last a year, and if you select “Remember Me,” login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. It contains the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the other website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to their site.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We may also share your information with trusted third-party providers that help us operate our site (such as analytics, hosting, and security services). These providers only access your data to perform their functions and are required to keep it secure.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information you provide in your profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username changes are not allowed). Administrators can also see and edit this data.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold, except for information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand visitor behavior, improve our content, and enhance user experience. These tools may use cookies and collect anonymized information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general geographic data.

Data Security

We use reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected data from a child without parental consent, we will delete it immediately.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
