Privacy Policy
Who We Are We are the team behind your daily dose of life stories and drama. Our website address is: https://hotnews24h.zululion.com.
Comments When you jump into the discussion and leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comments form, alongside your IP address and browser user agent string to keep spam bots at bay. An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it (their privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/). Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your thoughts.
Media If you upload images to Hotnews24h, please avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can easily download and extract this location data, and we prefer to keep your whereabouts private.
Cookies We use cookies to make your browsing experience smoother:
- Commenting: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. These last for one year.
- Logging In: Visiting our login page sets a temporary, anonymous cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies, which vanishes when you close your browser. Logging in sets cookies to save your login info (lasting two days) and screen display choices (lasting a year). Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks.
- Publishing: Editing or publishing an article saves an additional temporary cookie in your browser for 1 day, containing only the post ID of your article.
Embedded Content From Other Websites Our articles occasionally feature embedded content like videos, images, or social media posts. This content behaves exactly as if you had visited those other sites directly. These external platforms may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to their service.
Who We Share Your Data With We keep your data private. However, for security purposes, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the automated reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: Left a comment? The text and its metadata are kept indefinitely so we can automatically recognize and approve your future comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: If you register on our site, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username). Our website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data You own your data. If you have an account or have left comments on Hotnews24h, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to completely erase any personal data we have on file. Please note that this does not include data we are legally, administratively, or securely obliged to keep.
Where Your Data Is Sent To maintain the quality of our community, visitor comments are routinely checked through an automated spam detection service.
