# Privacy Policy

> The NSHOT privacy policy describes how the website handles information associated with comments, media, cookies, embedded content, registered users and data-subject requests.

## Page details
- Language: English
- Source title: Privacy Policy
- Source URL: https://nshot.com/privacy-policy/
- Summary: The policy explains categories of website data processing, retention, user rights and selected third-party interactions.

## Comments
When visitors leave comments, the site collects the information shown in the comment form together with the visitor's IP address and browser user-agent string to support spam detection. An anonymized string derived from the email address may be provided to Gravatar; after a comment is approved, the profile image can be visible publicly with the comment.

## Media
Users uploading images are advised to avoid files containing embedded location data such as EXIF GPS, because visitors may be able to download images and extract that information.

## Cookies
The policy describes cookies used for comment details, browser cookie checks, login information, screen preferences and article editing. Comment convenience cookies last one year; login and display-preference cookies have different durations, and selecting “Remember me” keeps login active for two weeks. An article-editing cookie expires after one day.

## Embedded content
Articles may contain embedded videos, images or articles from other websites. Those external sites may collect data, use cookies, add third-party tracking and monitor interaction with embedded content, particularly when a visitor is logged into those services.

## Data retention
Comment content and metadata are retained indefinitely so subsequent comments can be recognized and approved automatically. For registered users, the site stores personal information supplied in the user profile. Users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time except their username; site administrators can also view and edit it.

## User rights
People with an account or who have left comments can request an exported file containing personal data held by the site and can request deletion of their personal data. The policy notes that this does not include information that must be retained for administrative, legal or security purposes.

## Spam detection
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.
