At Tappyly (https://tappyly.com), your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit or interact with our website.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://tappyly.com

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) becomes publicly visible.

Media Uploads

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience:

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last for one year.
Temporary cookies are used on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. These are discarded when you close your browser.
Upon login, we set cookies to save login credentials and screen display preferences:
- Login cookies last 2 days (or 2 weeks if “Remember Me” is selected).
- Display preference cookies last 1 year.
Editing or publishing an article sets an additional cookie indicating the post ID. This expires after 1 day.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, etc.) which behaves just as if you visited those websites directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interactions if you are logged in to those sites.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email for security purposes.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and auto-approve follow-up comments.
For registered users (if any), personal profile information is stored. You can see, edit, or delete your personal data at any time (except your username). Administrators can also access and edit this information.

7. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request:

A copy of your personal data we hold.
Deletion of your personal data (excluding any we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes).

8. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
