Comments
The commenting service on this website is made possible by an open source self hosted commenting system called commento. This service is hosted on my own server and no third party has access to this.
When you login to make the comment on any of my blog post or articles, you will be prompted to provide an email address, name, and password. In addition to this, your IP address is stored in server logs when you access the website. I store this data in a database running on a server (commento.emblik.studio). Your email address and other data will not be shared with any external entity or used for any other purpose. The email information is required to authenticate you and stop spam comments. However, you can choose to comment anonymously without providing any details. In such a scenario, the only thing that is stored is your IP address used to access the website.
Cookies
When you choose to authenticate yourself to comment, a unique randomly generated token ("Session") will be stored as a cookie in your browser in order to remember you on future visits. If you are not logged in, no cookies will be stored in your browser.
Data Collection, protection and retention
I serve this website with secure http connections. When you visit this website, the server collects these data in its log file:
- IP address
- Name and type of your browser (User Agent)
- Name of your Operating System
- Time of your visit.
I collect this data to determine safety and stability of system and for diagnosing the problem in case of a breach. The log files are stored for 14 days and then discarded completely by the server automatically. The log files which collect the data are stored on a server which only I can access. In an unfortunate event of a data breach, I would try to mitigate the breach in a transparent and best way possible to me. If you notice any misuse or breach of data, you can immediately contact me via my email address - raghu+privacy@emblik.studio.
