Introduction
At astroforgex.info, we value your privacy and strive to protect your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of data we collect, the purpose of collecting it, and how we use and safeguard your information to provide a secure and seamless experience on our website.

Information We Collect

We collect both personal data and technical data. Personal data includes any information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email, and other contact information through comment forms or subscriptions. Technical data includes information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and access timestamps. This technical data helps us ensure site security, monitor traffic, and improve the overall functionality of our platform.

Media Uploads and Privacy Protection

When you upload media to our platform, we recommend removing any embedded metadata, such as GPS coordinates or device identifiers, to prevent accidental sharing of sensitive information. This helps ensure that your location or device data is not unintentionally exposed to other users or third-party services interacting with your content.

Cookies and User Preferences

We use cookies to remember your preferences, such as your name, email, and website URL when leaving comments. Cookies remain valid for one year, while session cookies used for login purposes remain valid for two days. Preferences cookies persist for up to one year. The “Remember Me” option extends login sessions for up to two weeks, and all cookies are removed when you log out.

Embedded Content from External Sources

We may embed content from third-party services, such as videos, social media posts, or interactive features. These external sources may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interactions according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their privacy practices as they may differ from ours.

Data Retention and Your Rights

All comments and associated metadata are stored indefinitely to facilitate moderation and approval processes. Registered users can access, modify, or request deletion of their personal data, excluding usernames, which are permanent. Administrators can manage user data for operational and security purposes.

Automated Spam Detection

To prevent spam and ensure the quality of interactions on our site, all comments may be processed using automated systems to detect and block unwanted content. This helps maintain a secure and respectful online environment.
