Overview
Shitiz Says (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website shitizsays.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our website address is https://shitizsays.com.
Information We Collect
Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Contact form: If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide, solely to respond to your enquiry.
Media: If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract that data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These last for one year. Our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
We also use cookies from third-party services described below (analytics and, where enabled, advertising). See our Cookie Policy for full details.
Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics / Google Site Kit — to understand how visitors use this site.
- Google AdSense — to serve advertisements, where enabled.
- Akismet — to filter spam comments (Automattic’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/).
- Embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, tweets) from other websites, which behaves as if you visited that other website directly and may set its own cookies.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email. Otherwise, we do not sell or share your personal data with third parties except the service providers listed above, as needed to operate this website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and CCPA), you may have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or erase it, or object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.
