About Us
Our website can be found at: https://arkahosting.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam.
We may also generate an anonymized string (a hash) from your email address to provide to the Gravatar service, in case you’re using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in them. Website visitors can download and extract location data from images uploaded to the site.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will remain for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set additional cookies to remember your login information and screen preferences. These cookies will last for two days for login data, and for a year for screen options. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, a new cookie will be created, containing no personal data, but simply the ID of the post you edited. This cookie expires in one day.
Embedded Content from Other Sites
Articles on our site may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves just as if the visitor has directly visited the other website.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and track your interaction with the embedded 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
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments without putting them in a moderation queue.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (though you cannot change your username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we have on record for you, excluding any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Transfer
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
