Welcome to Chandanai. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://chandanai.com.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect:
-
The name, email address, and website URL you enter.
-
Your comment content.
-
Your IP address and browser user-agent string, to help detect spam.
After you submit, we may send a hashed version of your email to Gravatar to see if you use that service. For details, see Automattic’s Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you have one) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
2.2 Media
If you upload images through our forms, please avoid including GPS or other location metadata. Visitors can download any uploaded images and extract embedded data.
2.3 Contact Forms
When you send us a message via a contact form, we collect the information you provide (name, email, message content) so we can respond.
2.4 Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience:
-
Commenter cookies store your name, email, and website (lasting one year) so you don’t have to retype them.
-
Login cookies let you stay logged in (temporary cookie while browsing; two-day cookie for your session; two-week cookie if you check “Remember Me”).
-
Screen options cookies save your display preferences (lasting one year).
-
Post-edit cookie notes which post you just edited (expires after one day).
You can disable cookies in your browser, though some site features may then not work properly.
2.5 Embedded Content from Third Parties
Articles may include embedded videos, images, or other media from external sites (e.g., YouTube, Twitter). Those sites may collect information about you, use cookies, and track your interactions if you’re logged in there. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, their practices.
2.6 Analytics
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Jetpack) to understand how visitors use our site. These tools collect anonymous data—page views, time on page, referral sources—and may set cookies on your device. This information helps us improve our content and user experience.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect to:
-
Moderate and publish comments.
-
Respond to messages submitted via our contact forms.
-
Improve our website’s design, performance, and content.
-
Prevent spam and misuse.
4. Who We Share Your Data With
-
Automated spam filters (e.g., Akismet) may receive commenter IP and user-agent data.
-
Gravatar may receive a hashed email address when you leave a comment.
-
Analytics providers may receive anonymous usage data.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
5. How Long We Retain Your Data
-
Comments and their metadata remain indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments without manual moderation.
-
Registered users’ profiles (if any) are retained until the user deletes their account.
6. Your Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request:
-
A copy of the personal data we hold about you (including anything you’ve submitted).
-
That we erase your personal data—unless we are required to keep it for legal, security, or administrative reasons.
To request data access or deletion, please contact us at the address below.
7. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be screened for spam by an automated service. Analytics data is sent to our analytics providers in aggregated, anonymized form.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect any changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
