Who We Are
We’re InkPioneers, a tech and gaming blog run by a solo creator who’s passionate about sharing nerdy insights without the corporate fluff. Our goal? Keep things fun, private, and easy to manage.

What We Collect & Why

Comments

  • When you comment, we collect:
    • Your name, email, website (if provided).
    • Your IP address and browser info (to fight spam).
  • Your email may be anonymized into a “hash” and checked with Gravatar to see if you use their profile-pic service. If you do, your Gravatar will appear next to your comment after approval.

Media

  • Avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images and extract location details.

Cookies (The Tasty Digital Kind 🍪)

  • Comment Cookies: If you opt-in, cookies save your name/email/website for 1 year, so you don’t re-type them.
  • Login Cookies:
    • Temporary cookie on login page: Checks if your browser accepts cookies. Gone when you close the browser.
    • Login cookies: Last 2 days. “Remember Me” extends this to 2 weeks.
    • Screen settings cookie: Stays for 1 year.
    • Editing cookies: Saves post ID of the article you edited. Expires in 1 day.

Embedded Content (Videos, Images, etc.)

  • Embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos) acts like you’re visiting that site directly. Those sites may collect data, use cookies, or track you—especially if you’re logged in there. Check their privacy policies before interacting.

Who We Share Data With

  • Password resets: Your IP address is included in the reset email (for security).
  • Spam checks: Comments may be screened by automated spam services.

How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata stay forever (to auto-approve follow-ups instead of moderating them).
  • Registered users (if any): We store your profile info. You can edit/delete it anytime (except your username). Admins can see it too.

Your Data Rights

  • Request a file of all personal data we have about you.
  • Ask us to delete your data (excludes data we’re required to keep for legal/security reasons).
    Just email us via the Contact Form – we’ll respond within 30 days.

Where Your Data Goes

  • Comments may be checked by spam detection tools (like Akismet).
  • Embedded content providers (e.g., YouTube, Twitter) handle data per their policies.

We Hate Spam Too

  • No selling your data. No shady tracking. No third-party nonsense.
  • Questions? Reach out via our Contact Page.

Why This Works:

  1. Simplified Structure: Broken into digestible sections with playful headings.
  2. Human Tone: Avoids legalese (e.g., “The Tasty Digital Kind 🍪”).
  3. Transparency: Explains why data is collected (e.g., spam fighting).
  4. Privacy-First Messaging: Reiterates commitment to no spam/selling data.
  5. Actionable Rights: Clear steps for users to request/deletedata.
