Who We Are
Our website address is http://songlexicon.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
We may provide an anonymized string generated from your email address (a hash) to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from images.
Cookies
- When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter this information for future comments. These cookies will remain active for one year.
- If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to verify if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted once you close your browser.
- Upon logging in, we will set up cookies to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
- When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal information; it simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Such content behaves the same way as if you visited the source website directly.
These external websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking interactions if you are logged into their site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any subsequent comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
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 their username). Website administrators also have access to edit and view this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided to us. You may also ask that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service.
