At MarcSinibaldi.com, your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a visitor to this website. By using this site, you agree to the terms described below.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://MarcSinibaldi.com.
This site is the official online home of author Marc Sinibaldi, where visitors can explore his novels, read blog posts, join the mailing list, and stay updated on upcoming releases and events.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to this website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from uploaded images.
Cookies
This website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.
- If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details next time. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
- When you log in, cookies store your login information and 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 an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and posts on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve future comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain the safety and integrity of this website.
