User Commentary System

When users submit comments through our platform, we collect essential information including form data, IP addresses, and browser specifications to implement comprehensive spam protection measures and maintain data security standards. Gravatar services may receive encrypted email hashes for profile verification purposes according to our detailed privacy guidelines: https://crystalstorm.info/policy.html. User profile images become visible following administrative review and approval processes.

Digital Media Content

We strongly recommend removing EXIF metadata containing GPS coordinates from uploaded images to protect user privacy, as this location information can be extracted and accessed by other platform users.

Browser Cookies and Tracking

Comment submission processes store user preferences and details in browser cookies to enhance user experience and convenience, with these cookies maintaining validity for twelve months. Session cookies verify browser compatibility for login functionality, with standard login sessions lasting forty-eight hours and screen preference cookies persisting for one year. Selecting "Remember Me" extends authentication sessions to two weeks duration. User logout actions automatically remove all stored cookies. Content creation and editing activities generate temporary cookies containing article identification numbers, which expire after twenty-four hours.

Third-Party Embedded Content

External embedded media content operates with identical privacy implications as direct visits to originating websites, potentially allowing external platforms to implement user tracking, data collection, and cookie deployment.

Information Sharing Protocols

Password recovery email communications include originating IP address information for enhanced security verification and fraud prevention measures.

Data Storage and Retention

User comments and associated metadata are preserved indefinitely to facilitate ongoing moderation processes and follow-up approval procedures. Registered user account information remains stored within our systems and can be modified or completely removed upon request, excluding username identifiers which remain permanent. Administrative personnel maintain editing capabilities for user data management.

User Privacy Rights

Users maintain rights to request comprehensive reports of stored personal information or complete data deletion, except in circumstances requiring retention for security protocols, legal compliance, or administrative necessities.

Automated Data Processing

Our platform employs automated spam detection systems and machine learning algorithms to analyze and review user-submitted comments for security and quality assurance purposes.
