Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is http://naamkosh.in.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

When you upload images to naamkosh.in, please ensure that the images do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images that are uploaded.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are designed for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Login Page:

When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a 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.

Article Editing and Publishing:

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same manner as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing

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

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators also can view and edit this information.

What rights do you have over your data

If you have an account on naamkosh.in or have left comments on the site, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. This file will include any data you have provided to us. Additionally, you may request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the integrity and security of our website.
