Who We Are

Welcome to Bruvacs LLC! You can learn more about us at https://bruvacs.com.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data you provide in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam. If you use the Gravatar service, we may send an anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) to Gravatar to see if you have a profile picture associated with your email. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in your images. Website visitors can download and extract this data from any images you upload.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will persist for one year.

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies; this cookie is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we will set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies remain for one year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will be saved for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.

Additionally, if you edit or publish an article, a separate cookie will be saved with no personal data, indicating the post ID of the article edited. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you have directly visited the source website. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content, including any interactions if you are logged into that site.

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 automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, personal information provided in user profiles is stored and can be viewed, edited, or deleted by the user at any time (with the exception of changing the username). Website administrators have access to view and edit this information as well.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including the data you have provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data, though we must retain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Goes

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