Who we are
Our website address is https://inshorts.co.uk.
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 detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address may be used to check if you have a profile picture associated with it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or other articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly 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 interactions with that embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in moderation.
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 their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
