When visitors leave comments on TheHobbyCraze.com, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent details. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy on Automattic’s website. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to TheHobbyCraze.com, we recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download images and may be able to extract any location data included in them.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are stored for your convenience so you don’t need to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies remain for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
If you log in, additional cookies will be created to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. Selecting the “Remember Me” option will keep you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only records the ID of the post you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on TheHobbyCraze.com may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content—especially if you are logged into an account on those websites.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and manage this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on TheHobbyCraze.com or have left comments, you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data, except for information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
