Privacy Policy

🪶 Who We Are

Our website address: https://ruspace.blog
RuSpace is an independent creative space curated by R. Syiem, celebrating words, images, and moments inspired by the hills. This site is built on WordPress and follows standard practices for protecting visitor privacy and data.

💬 Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form—along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string—to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string (a “hash”) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it.
👉 The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile image (if available) becomes visible next to your comment.

🖼️ Media

If you upload images to this website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors to the site can download and extract any location information from images displayed on RuSpace.

🍪 Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies.
This is purely for convenience—so you don’t need to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

When you log in:

• We set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences.
• Login cookies last for two days; display-option cookies last for one year.
• Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks.
• Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish a post, a small cookie will be saved in your browser.
It simply records the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.

🌐 Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on RuSpace may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or other articles).
Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the external website directly.

Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that service.

🤝 Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

⏳ How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to help automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.
• For registered users, we store the personal information provided in user profiles.
  All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed).
  Website administrators can also access and edit that information when needed.

🗝️ What Rights You Have 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, or
• Deletion of your personal data from our records.

This does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

🌏 Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service to help keep RuSpace safe from malicious content.
