Who We Are
Our website, P30City, is dedicated to providing insightful content about software, technology, and gaming. Your privacy is important to us, and this policy outlines the types of personal information we collect and how we use it.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam effectively.
Additionally:
- An anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy can be reviewed at Automattic’s Privacy Policy.
- Upon approval, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract such location data from uploaded images.
