Privacy Policy

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website at https://insigniatv.org/.

Information We Collect

  • Comments: When you leave comments, we collect the information you provide (name, comment text), your IP address, and browser details to help detect spam. Anonymized data derived from your email address may be used to check for a Gravatar profile picture (see Gravatar service privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/). Once approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
  • Media: If you upload images, avoid those with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can potentially download and extract this information.
  • Cookies: Leaving a comment allows you to choose cookies that store your name, email, and website for your convenience. These expire after one year. Login functionality creates cookies for login information and screen display preferences (login: 2 days, screen options: 1 year). Choosing “Remember Me” extends login duration to two weeks. Login and screen option cookies are removed upon logout. Editing or publishing an article creates a temporary cookie (expires after 1 day) for internal purposes.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Improve our website and services
  • Respond to comments and inquiries
  • Prevent spam and enhance security

Data Sharing and Third-Party Access

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties except for legal requirements or spam detection.

Embedded Content

Articles may include content from other websites. These behave as if you visited those websites directly. They may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.

Data Retention

We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely for automatic approval of subsequent comments. For registered users, we store the personal information they provide in their profiles.

Your Rights

You have the right to request an exported file of your personal data or request its erasure, excluding data we need for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Data Security

We implement security measures to protect your information. However, no internet transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
