At Blog Bullion, we value your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we gather when you visit blogbullion.com and how we handle it responsibly.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information in the following ways:
- Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the data entered in the comment form (name, email address, and website URL), along with your IP address and browser user-agent string for spam detection purposes.
- Contact Forms: If you reach out to us through our contact page, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email, and message content.
- Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services that collect anonymized usage data (pages visited, time spent, device type) to help us improve our content and user experience.
Media & Uploaded Content
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS metadata). Other visitors may be able to download and extract location information from images hosted on the site.
Cookies
Blog Bullion uses cookies in limited circumstances to enhance your experience:
- Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to re-enter them on future comments. These cookies last for one year.
- Login cookies: When you log in, we set cookies to save your login and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”). Screen options cookies last for one year. All login cookies are removed when you log out.
- Temporary cookies: Our login page sets a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Article editing cookies: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie indicating the post ID is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or social media posts from third-party websites. This embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the originating website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — particularly if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Publish and manage comments on our blog posts
- Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact page
- Detect and prevent spam and fraudulent activity
- Improve our website content, performance, and user experience
- Comply with legal obligations where applicable
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your data may be shared only in the following situations:
- Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service (e.g., Akismet).
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Anonymized analytics data may be processed by third-party analytics providers.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically without requiring repeated moderation.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and modify this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on Blog Bullion or have left comments, you have the right to:
- Request an export of all personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This does not include data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time, where consent was the basis for collection.
To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to us using the contact information below.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
