At GadgetHurry, we take your privacy seriously and are dedicated to protecting the information you share with us. This Privacy Policy details the types of data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it to enhance your experience on our website. By using GadgetHurry, you agree to the practices outlined here.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.gadgethurry.com.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to assist in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile image. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may appear publicly alongside it.
Media
If you upload images to GadgetHurry, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the website could potentially download and extract this data.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for added convenience—so you don’t have to re-enter them on future visits. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and log in, we will set a temporary cookie to confirm your browser accepts cookies; this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we set up additional cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and display options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login to two weeks, but if you log out, login cookies are removed. Additionally, when you edit or publish an article, a cookie is stored in your browser indicating the article ID, expiring after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Sites
Our articles may include embedded content like videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves just as if you visited the original website and may collect data, use cookies, embed tracking from third parties, or monitor interactions, especially if you are logged into that third-party site.
Google Adsense
We may display ads served by Google. Google’s DART cookie enables ad serving based on your visit to GadgetHurry and other websites. DART does not collect personal information like your name or email. You can opt-out of DART cookie tracking by visiting Google’s ad and content network privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to gain insights into our visitors’ demographics, location, and site usage. This helps us tailor our content and optimize user experience. Google and its partners (e.g., Google Display Network, DoubleClick) may gather this data via cookies.
How We Share Your Data
GadgetHurry values your privacy. We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information. Non-personal information may be analyzed by third-party tools, such as Google Analytics, but only for improving our website and services.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store their personal data in their profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their data anytime, except for their username. Website administrators also have access to edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on GadgetHurry, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including any information you provided. You may also request data deletion, though this excludes data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service to maintain a safe and engaging community.
Your Contact Information
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, our practices, or your interactions with GadgetHurry, please reach out to us.
