Who We Are
Our website address is: https://theducated.wiki.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized hash created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images uploaded to the platform.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter your details when posting another comment. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set multiple cookies to store your login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies remain for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from external websites functions the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content—especially if you have an account and 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 for security purposes.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate automated approval of follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
