Privacy Protocol and Data Usage

Domain: https://realish.net

1. Our Identity

This digital platform is accessible at https://realish.net. We are committed to transparency regarding the information gathered during your visit.

2. Management of Visitor Discussions (Comments)

When users choose to participate in discussions on realish.net, we capture specific details to maintain site integrity. This includes the information you manually type into the comment fields, alongside technical identifiers such as your IP address and browser user agent string. These measures are strictly for spam identification and moderation.

Gravatar Integration: To display your profile image, an encrypted string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service.

  • Privacy Check: You can verify Gravatar’s data policies here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
  • Visibility: Upon approval of your comment, your associated profile image will be publicly displayed next to your contribution.
3. Media and Image Security

For users with upload permissions: We strongly recommend scrubbing your image files of any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) prior to uploading. If images containing this metadata are posted on realish.net, other visitors may be able to download the files and extract your precise geographical location.

4. Cookie Usage and Digital Storage

We utilize cookies to streamline your experience. Here is how they function:

  • Commenter Convenience: If you post a comment, you have the option to save your credentials (name, email, website) in a cookie. This allows you to comment in the future without re-entering data. These files remain active for one year.
  • Login Verification: Visiting our login portal triggers a temporary cookie to check browser compatibility. It holds no personal identifiers and is deleted immediately upon closing the browser.
  • User Sessions:
    • Authentication: Upon signing in, we generate cookies to keep you logged in (valid for two days) and to remember your screen preferences (valid for one year).
    • “Remember Me”: Selecting this option extends the login session to two weeks.
    • Logging Out: This action immediately purges authentication cookies.
  • Editorial Tracking: If you publish or modify an article, a specific cookie is saved to your browser. It contains no personal info, only the ID of the article edited, and expires after 24 hours.
5. Integration of Third-Party Content

Articles on realish.net may feature embedded assets (videos, social media feeds, images) hosted on external platforms. Interacting with this content is technically identical to visiting the third-party website directly.

Please be advised that these external sites may:

  • Harvest data regarding your visit.
  • Deploy their own cookies.
  • Activate third-party tracking scripts.
  • Monitor your engagement with the content, particularly if you are logged into an account on their platform.
6. Data Sharing Policy

We do not sell or distribute your private data. The sole exception involves password recovery: if you initiate a password reset, your IP address will be visible in the automated reset email for security verification.

7. Data Archival Periods
  • Comment History: We store comments and their associated metadata indefinitely. This allows our system to automatically recognize and publish follow-up comments from trusted users without manual moderation delays.
  • Registered Accounts: For users who create a profile on our website, we store the personal details provided in their user area.
    • Access Control: Users retain full rights to view, modify, or erase their personal information at will (excluding the username).
    • Administrative Access: Site administrators also possess the ability to view and update this information for support purposes.
8. User Rights and Control

If you possess an account or have participated in comments on realish.net, you are entitled to:

  1. Data Export: Request a file containing all personal data we have collected about you.
  2. Data Erasure: Request the total deletion of your personal data from our servers.
    • Exception: This does not apply to data we are legally or administratively obligated to retain for security or compliance reasons.
9. Automated Filtering

To protect the community, visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service before publication.
