Who we are

Our website address is: https://maxmymind.com.

Comments

When you drop a comment on our site, we don’t just sit back and sip coffee. No, we spring into action! We gather all the juicy details from your comment form—think of it as collecting baseball cards, but way less fun. This includes your IP address and browser user agent string, which sounds fancy but is really just our way of keeping the spam monsters at bay.

Now, if you happen to be one of those savvy folks using Gravatar (which is like a social media profile picture for your email), we might send an anonymized string created from your email address over to them. It’s kind of like sending a secret message in code! You can check out their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

And once we give the thumbs-up to your comment? Boom! Your profile picture pops up for all the world to see—like a celebrity making a grand entrance at a red-carpet event, only with fewer paparazzi and more cat memes.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

So, you’ve decided to leave a comment on our site? Excellent choice! Now, if you want to make your life easier (and who doesn’t?), you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. Yes, those delightful little morsels of data are here for your convenience so you won’t have to fill out the same info every time you grace us with your thoughts. These cookies will stick around for a whole year—like that one friend who just won’t leave the party.

Now, if you wander over to our login page, we’ll toss a temporary cookie your way just to check if your browser is cool with accepting cookies. Don’t worry; this one’s not personal—it’s like a friendly handshake that disappears as soon as you close the browser.

When you log in, we’ll set up some cookies to remember who you are and what display options you prefer. The login cookies hang out for two days, while the screen options cookies decide to stay for a whole year. And if you're feeling especially nostalgic and select "Remember Me," congratulations! Your login will stick around for two weeks—like an unwanted but endearing houseguest.

Oh, and if you're editing or publishing an article? We’ll save another cookie just for that occasion. This cookie doesn’t hold any personal secrets; it simply tells us which post ID got edited. But don’t get too attached—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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content 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.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
