Who we are
Our website address is https://lawext.com.

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

An anonymized string generated from your email address (hash) might be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are 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.

Upon visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon login, several cookies are set up to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data; it simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) behaving similarly to if the visitor has visited the other website.

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

Who we share your data with
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 for automated approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users, their provided personal information is stored in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information except for the username. Website administrators can also access and modify that information.

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 provided data. You can also request erasure of your personal data, excluding data we need to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent
Visitor comments might be checked through an automated spam detection service.
