About Us
Welcome to ironcruxx.info. Your privacy and security are extremely important to us. This page outlines what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you have regarding your personal information. Our goal is to provide transparency and help you understand your data and our practices clearly.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, including your name, email address, website, and any other details you choose to submit. Additionally, we automatically collect your IP address and browser information to help prevent spam and abusive behavior. For convenience, a hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar for verification. You can check Gravatar’s privacy policy here: ironcruxx.info/policy.html. Once approved, your profile picture will be publicly displayed alongside your comment, allowing other users to recognize your contributions easily.

Media Files

If you upload images or other media files to our site, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Such metadata can be extracted by other visitors, potentially revealing your location or other sensitive information. Always check your media files before uploading to ensure they do not contain unwanted data.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us improve your experience. When you leave a comment, cookies may save your name, email, and website for future convenience, typically lasting one year. Temporary cookies are used to verify whether your browser supports cookies. Login cookies remain valid for two days, while screen preferences cookies are retained for one year. The “Remember Me” option on the login screen allows you to stay logged in for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies. If you edit or publish an article, a separate cookie will store the ID of the edited post. This cookie expires after one day and helps us recognize changes made by specific users.

Embedded Content from External Websites

Content embedded from other websites, such as videos, images, or social media posts, behaves exactly as if you visited the source website directly. These websites may collect information about your activity, use cookies, and track your interactions with embedded content, particularly if you are logged into their services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these external websites for full details on their data handling practices.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the password reset email as part of the security process. This helps us confirm your identity and prevent unauthorized access to your account.

Data Retention

Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval of future comments. Registered users’ personal information is stored securely. Users have the ability to view, update, or delete their personal data at any time, with the exception of their username, which is fixed. Administrators have access to this information and may modify it for management or security purposes.

Your Rights

If you have created an account or left a comment, you may request a file containing all personal data we store about you. You can also request the deletion of your personal data, except for information that we are legally or administratively required to retain for security, legal, or operational purposes.

Data Processing

Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services to identify and block potentially harmful or unwanted content. This ensures a safe and enjoyable environment for all users.
