This Privacy Policy explains how Blog | Giyosiddin (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://giyosiddin.com (the “Site”).
We are committed to protecting your privacy. If you have questions not answered here, contact us at admin@giyosiddin.com.
1. Information We Collect
Comments
When you leave a comment on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public alongside your comment.
We use Akismet (by Automattic) to check comments against a global spam database. This means comment data — including your name, email address, IP address, and comment content — may be transmitted to Akismet’s servers for spam analysis. See Automattic’s privacy policy at the link above for details.
Contact Forms
If you use a contact form on the Site, we collect the information you submit (typically your name, email address, and message) in order to respond to your inquiry. This data is sent via email to us and is not used for any other purpose.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
If you have an account and log in, we set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies, and a login session cookie once you log in. These are deleted when you log out.
We use a cookie consent banner to let you choose which categories of cookies you accept before non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) are set.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, time spent, general location (city/country level), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the Site. This is collected in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Embedded Content
Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly, and that website may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Publish and moderate comments
- Respond to inquiries submitted through contact forms
- Detect and prevent spam or abusive activity
- Understand Site usage and improve content
- Maintain the security and functioning of the Site
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Who We Share Data With
We may share limited data with third-party service providers who help us operate the Site, including:
- Akismet / Automattic — comment spam filtering
- Google Analytics — usage analytics
- Telegram/Instagram/Youtube — usage analytics
These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their function and are bound by their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, its users, or the public.
4. How Long We Retain Data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
- Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry, after which they may be deleted.
- Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ default retention settings, which you can review in your own Analytics account.
5. Your Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, you have the right under the GDPR to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Data portability — receive your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (e.g., analytics cookies)
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information).
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@giyosiddin.com. If you have an account, you can also request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us, or request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (this does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
6. Children’s Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including secure hosting practices and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, which may involve data being processed outside your country of residence, including in the United States. Analytics data is also processed by Google, which may store and process data on servers located internationally.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
