Privacy Policy

 Introduction

TWLNEWS (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and protection of your data when you visit our website at https://twlnews.com.

We want to emphasize that we NEVER sell our users’ data under any circumstances.

 Data Collection and Usage

Comments

When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string. This information is used solely for spam detection purposes [[1]].

If you use the Gravatar service, 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’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

We recommend that you 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. We do not process or use this data for any purpose [[2]].

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we 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 set up several cookies to save your login information and 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 as if you have visited the other website directly. 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 [[3]].

Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell your personal data to any third parties!

However, we may share your data with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential [[4]].

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, 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 users who register on our website (if any), we 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.
