What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments, RoundTable Policy & Guest Posts

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.

Comment Name – You must use your name or nickname for commenting. Comments using abusive, hateful, or adult keywords (but not limited to) or similar will be flagged as SPAM and deleted.

Valid E-mail – E-mail addresses are optional for commenting. But however, they are not published on the blog nor shared. Invalid E-mail or those that look like SPAM will be marked as SPAM.

Limit Links – To assure and maintain the quality of the site we’ve limited the links on the comment. Do not add more than two links, but if you do so it will be reviewed by the moderators first.

Language – This is a ‘Family-friendly Site’. So it’s your responsibility to play it nice and maintain a healthy conversation. We love the discussions. Any offensive, inappropriate or vulgar use of language will be edited otherwise deleted. And always try to leave your comment in English.

All Rights Reserved – Theblogera.com reserves the right to edit, delete, move, or mark as spam any and all comments. We also have the right to block any individual or group from commenting or from the entire site.

User-Generated content– All comments within theblogera.com, or user-generated content in RoundTable are the responsibility of the commenter, not ours. By submitting the comment you agree that the comment content is your own and you agree to hold theblogera.com and all its representatives harmless from any and all repercussions, damage, or liability.

Keep all this in mind and let’s have a meaningful & healthy conversation.
