Disclaimer

At Mindblasts™, we strive to ensure user privacy is at the core of our business. We take privacy seriously and comply with existing legislation by:

  • Anonymizing Visitor IP: Making it impossible to trace specific users.
  • Removing Old Visitor Logs: Automatically deleting old visitor logs from our database.
  • Anonymizing Previous User Data: Any previously tracked raw user data is anonymized.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Media

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

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your alias, email address, and website in cookies for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies is set and then discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information (lasting for two days) and screen options (lasting for a year). Selecting “Remember Me” will persist your login for two weeks.
  • Editing or publishing an article will save an additional cookie that includes no personal data and expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

  • Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). This behaves the same as if the visitor has visited the other website.
  • These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content if you are logged into that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not share or sell your information with third parties.
