Who We Are

At TechLens, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our website address is: https://www.techlens.com/.

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 (called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in relation to your comment.

Media

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

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year, so you won’t need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment.

If 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 deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and display 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 of your account will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply tracks the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, track interactions with embedded content, and monitor your activity if you have an account and are logged in to their 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 stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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