Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Inertiart (IA) collects when you visit or interact with this site, how that information is used, and the choices available to you. We collect the minimum information necessary to operate the site securely and improve your experience, and we do not sell personal data.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://inertiart.com.

What Information We Collect

We collect information in a few limited ways, depending on how you interact with the site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help identify spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you have an account there. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once a comment is approved, your profile photo becomes publicly visible alongside it.

Media

If you upload images to this site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), since visitors can download and extract that information from any image on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in a cookie for your convenience, so you do not have to re-enter this information the next time you comment. These cookies last one year. Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and disappears when you close your browser. Logging in sets additional cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen option cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login session to two weeks. Logging out removes your login cookies. Editing or publishing an article saves an extra cookie containing only the post ID of the article, no personal data. It expires after one day.

Analytics

We may use standard site analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve its design and performance over time.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to operate the site, prevent spam and abuse, maintain your login session, and understand how visitors engage with our content. We do not use your information for purposes beyond these.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had 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 content, including tracking your interaction if you are logged into an account on their site.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any of your follow up comments, rather than holding them for manual review. If you register for an account on our website, the personal information in your profile is stored, and you can view, edit, or delete it at any time, with the exception of your username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights and Choices

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including anything you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase your personal data, with the exception of information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

Data Breach Procedures

In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will take appropriate steps to investigate and notify affected individuals as required by applicable law.

Third Party Data Sharing

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Beyond this, we do not share your personal data with third parties except where required to operate the site or comply with the law.
