Introduction
At Griffso Blogs, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services.

Who We Are
Welcome to Griffso, your partner in cutting-edge web solutions. We specialize in web design, development, and security programming, driven by a commitment to innovation and excellence. Our website address is: http://griffso.com/blogs.

Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: Information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, email address, and phone number.
• Non-Personal Information: Information that does not identify you personally, such as your IP address, browser type, and usage data.

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 assist with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public.

Media
If you upload images to our website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website, so it’s best to keep this information private.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us understand how you interact with our site. You may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience when leaving comments. These cookies will last for one year. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

• Login Page: A temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
• Login: Additional cookies will be created to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
• Editing Articles: An additional cookie will be saved when you edit or publish an article. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited; it expires after one day.

Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services for analytics, advertising, and other functions. These third parties may collect information about your use of our site, which may include tracking technologies. For more information about how these third parties use your data, please refer to their privacy policies.

Google Ads
We may serve ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other sites on the internet. You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Your privacy is essential to us, and we ensure that your data is handled responsibly.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators also have access to this information.

Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We are committed to maintaining the integrity and security of your information at all times.

Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children’s Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
