Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: Gravatar Data Policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images uploaded to the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This way, you won’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies will be created to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie 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 on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves just like visiting those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
At A2Bookmarks.com, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your data. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers that assist us in operating our website, managing our services, or conducting our business. This includes hosting providers, email service providers, and analytics partners who may have access to your data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated to protect your information.
Additionally, we may share your data with legal authorities if required by law or to respond to legal requests. For instance, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. We ensure that any third parties with whom we share your data comply with applicable data protection regulations to safeguard your privacy.
Google AdSense
A2Bookmarks.com may utilize Google AdSense services in the future to display ads and generate revenue. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites on the internet. This allows for personalized advertising that aligns with your interests. To understand how Google AdSense collects and processes your data, please review their privacy policy here. We are committed to protecting your privacy and encourage you to stay informed about how your data may be used in this context.
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 automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on A2Bookmarks.com, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, though they cannot change their username. Additionally, website administrators can see and edit this information as necessary.
When users submit their website URLs for bookmarking, we retain this data to facilitate easy access and management. However, we monitor submitted links closely and may remove any that are deemed spam, link to fake websites, or involve suspended accounts. This ensures a safe and reliable environment for all users while maintaining the integrity of our platform.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on A2Bookmarks.com or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. This empowers you to understand and manage your personal data more effectively.
Additionally, you can request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. However, please note that certain information may need to be retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes. We are committed to respecting your rights and ensuring your data is handled with care.
Where your data is sent
Visitor-submitted URLs for bookmarking and comments may be processed by an automated spam detection service to ensure the security and quality of our platform. This means that your data may be sent to third-party services specifically designed to identify and prevent spam, helping us maintain a safe environment for all users. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to handling your information with care throughout this process.
