Who we are
Welcome to ownlabs.net — our official website, where your privacy and data protection are important to us.
Comments
When visitors post comments, we collect the information provided in the form, as well as their IP address and browser information to help identify and block spam.
A hashed version of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to verify your account. You can read their full privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your avatar may be visible alongside it.
Media
If you choose to upload images to the site, please make sure they do not contain embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS). Other users may be able to extract this information from the files.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to store your name, email, and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so you won’t need to re-enter your information the next time you comment. These cookies will remain for one year.
Visiting the login page triggers a temporary cookie to check cookie support in your browser. This file does not include any personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies are used to save your login credentials and screen preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, or two weeks if you select “Remember Me.” Display settings cookies are retained for one year. Logging out removes all login cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, your browser will save an additional cookie containing the post ID. It doesn’t contain any personal details and will expire after 24 hours.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this website may contain embedded media from other sources (such as videos, images, or articles). This content acts just as if you were visiting the external site directly.
These websites may gather information about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking systems, and monitor your activity with the embedded content, particularly if you are logged in to their services.
Who we share your data with
In the event that you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset message to help verify the request.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely to allow us to recognize and approve future replies automatically.
If users create an account on our site (if available), we store the personal details they provide in their profiles. Users can view, change, or delete their information at any time — except their username. Site administrators can also manage this data.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account here or have commented before, you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete it, except for data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Comments submitted by visitors may be scanned by automated tools that help detect and block spam.
