Who We Are
Our website can be found at: http://sona-9.in
Comments
When users leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. An anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you choose to upload images to our website, please refrain from including images that have embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location information from images on our site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. This way, you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will remain for one year. If you access our login page, we will create a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser. Upon logging in, several cookies will be set to remember your login details and display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies. Additionally, if you edit or publish an article, another cookie will be saved in your browser that indicates the post ID of the article edited; this cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). This embedded content behaves as if the visitor has directly visited the other website. These external sites may gather data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that site.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments rather than holding them in moderation. For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators also have access to see and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we possess about you. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Verification
Visitor comments may be reviewed using an automated spam detection service.
