Who we are
This policy applies to https://warpinator.com, an independent informational website maintained under the editorial name Warpinator Guide Team. To contact the site about privacy or personal-data requests, use our Contact page. It does not describe the data practices of independently developed applications linked from our guides.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is 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) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change 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 to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any 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.
Contact form
If you send us a message, we receive the information entered in the form, including your contact details and message, to review and respond to the request. Do not submit passwords, group codes, or private files. Service providers involved in operating the website, processing email, and preventing spam may process information as part of delivering those services.
Google advertising
This website includes Google AdSense code for site verification and advertising services. When ads are served, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow it and its partners to personalise advertising using those visits. You can manage personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings and learn more about Google’s partner-site data use at Google’s partner-sites privacy information.
You can also manage participating third-party vendors’ personalised advertising choices through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. Where a consent message is displayed, use its controls to review or change your choices. Your browser also provides cookie controls; blocking cookies may affect website features.
External project links
Links to software projects, app stores, and documentation take you to other websites. Their own privacy policies apply there. We do not receive files you transfer directly between your own devices merely because you read a guide on this website.
