🔒 Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 7, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how thebollywood.in (“we”, “our”, or “the site”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit or interact with our website.

📝 Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect:

• The data entered in the comments form
• The visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection

An anonymized string (a hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

🖼️ Media

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images displayed on the site.

🍪 Cookies

We use cookies to improve user experience and site functionality. Examples:

• Comments: If you leave a comment, your name, email, and website may be saved in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
• Login Page: A temporary cookie is used to check if your browser accepts cookies (deleted on close).
• User Login:
  • Login cookies last for 2 days
  • “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for 2 weeks
  • Screen preferences last for 1 year
• Post Editing: A cookie stores the post ID of an article you edit. It expires after 1 day.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may limit site functionality.

📺 Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, tweets, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that site directly.

These third-party sites may:

• Collect data about you

• Monitor your interaction (including if you’re logged in to those sites)

🤝 Who We Share Your Data With

We also use tools like spam filters and analytics providers, who process limited user data under their own privacy policies.

🕒 How Long We Retain Your Data

• Comments: Retained indefinitely, including metadata, to auto-approve future replies.
• Registered Users: Personal info provided in profiles is stored. Users can view, edit, or delete it anytime (except username). Admins can also edit this data.

📤 Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request:

• An exported file of your personal data
