KSA is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. Our website address is: https://xtanol.com
Who We Are
We are a blog focused on technology and media, bringing insights and analysis with a unique perspective.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information from visitors to our blog. Personal information includes, but is not limited to, names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other identifiers. However, certain features of our site may involve minimal data collection as outlined below.
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 help spam detection. If you choose to leave a comment, an anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Currently, our site does not require registration or personal data submission beyond what you voluntarily provide in the comment form.
Media
If you upload images to the website (e.g., in comments or future features), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance your experience. If you leave a comment on our site, you may 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.
We do not currently have a login page, but if one is added in the future, we may set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Similarly, login-related cookies (e.g., lasting two days or two weeks with “Remember Me”) would only apply if a login feature is implemented later.
If you edit or publish an article (e.g., as a guest contributor in the future), an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited, expiring after 1 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 exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites.
Non-Personal Information
We may collect non-personal information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, referring website, and pages visited on our site. This information is used for statistical purposes and to improve our website. We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects anonymized data such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, and traffic sources. You can learn more about how Google uses data here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share any personal information because we do not collect it at this time. Non-personal information collected through Google Analytics may be shared with Google as per their privacy policy. If you request a password reset (in the event we add user accounts later), 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 is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. Since we do not currently offer user registration, no personal user profiles are stored. If registration is added later, users would be able to see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username), and website administrators could also manage that data.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that 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. Since we do not collect personal data beyond comments, this currently applies only to comment-related information.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure a spam-free experience. Non-personal data collected via Google Analytics is processed by Google and may be sent to their servers as per their privacy practices.
How We Use Your Information
We do not use personal information because we do not collect it at this time. The non-personal information we collect is used solely for improving our website and understanding our audience.
Data Security
While we do not collect personal information, we take reasonable measures to protect the security of our website and the non-personal data we collect, such as through secure hosting and regular updates.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
