Thank you for visiting MediaBulletins.com (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Media Bulletins”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, with whom we share it, how long we retain it, what rights you have, and how you may contact us.
1. Who we are
Our website address is: https://mediabulletins.com.
If you have any questions regarding this Policy or your personal data, you may contact us at: neelakathap@gmail.com.
2. What personal data we collect and why we collect it
a) Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (for example name, email address, website if any), along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. We collect this to help with spam detection and moderation.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy may apply.
b) Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
c) Cookies
-
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. Those cookies are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. They last for one year.
-
If you visit our login page we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
-
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen-display choices. Login cookies last for two days, screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
-
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data, simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
d) Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you 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 embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
e) Analytics
We may also use website-analytics services to monitor site usage, such as page views, bounce rates, and visitor behaviour, in anonymised or aggregated form.
3. Who we share your data with
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for marketing.
If we ever intend to share your personal data with others (for example service providers, partners), we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (contractual, technical) and that the sharing is in accord with applicable law.
4. How long we retain your data
-
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
-
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
5. What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you may request to:
-
receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us;
-
request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (subject to our obligations to retain certain data for administrative, legal or security purposes).
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at neelakathap@gmail.com.
6. Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data may also be sent to third-party services that support website operations (e.g., hosting providers, analytics providers), and will be subject to their privacy policies.
7. How we protect your data
We implement reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal data we hold from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100 % secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
8. What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of a data breach that materially impacts your personal data, we will notify you and regulatory authorities as required by applicable law. We will also remediate the breach as appropriate, and take steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.
9. What third-parties we receive data from
We generally receive personal data directly from you (for example when you leave comments or upload content). We may also receive data via third-party services if you use embedded content (e.g., videos, images) or if you use services such as Gravatar.
10. What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We currently do not use automated decision-making (including profiling) that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.
11. Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
We will comply with all applicable legal and regulatory disclosure obligations in respect of your personal data — for example, if required by law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
12. International transfers of your data
Since our website is accessible globally, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in a country other than your own (e.g., in the US, EU, India) for the purposes described above. We will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable law.
13. Changes to our privacy policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top will be revised when changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the website after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
