Privacy Policy
Last updated: [13/11/2025]
1. About Us
Our website address is: https://j2gglobal.com (“we”, “our”, or “this site”).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit and use our website.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at:
https://automattic.com/privacy/
After your comment is approved, your profile image (if any) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to this site, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.
4. Cookies
Comments
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Login Page
When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Login Information
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen display option cookies last for one year.
- If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
- If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Post Editing
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may:
- Collect data about you
- Use cookies
- Embed additional third-party tracking
- Monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security and abuse prevention purposes.
Comments from visitors may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:
- An exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- We erase any personal data we hold about you.
This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided on this website.
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Some data (such as hashed email addresses for Gravatar) may be sent to third-party services as described above.
