Privacy Policy

Who We Are
Our website address is: http://sirjoe.online.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the site, we recommend avoiding photos that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may download and extract such data from images posted on the site.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is purely for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter the information when commenting again. These cookies last for one year.

When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is used to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when your browser is closed.

Upon logging in, additional cookies will store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies are retained for two days, while display option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login remains active for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish content, a cookie will be saved in your browser indicating the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on sirjoe.online may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Such content behaves just as it would if you visited the external website directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you are logged in to those services.

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

Data Retention
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users, we store the personal information provided in user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time—except for usernames, which cannot be changed. Site administrators also have access to view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we delete any of your personal information, except for data we are legally or administratively required to keep.

Data Handling and Protection
Visitor comments may be scanned through an automated spam detection service to enhance site security and user experience.
