At Hash Insights, we care about your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, https://hashinsights.com, how we use it, and how we keep it safe.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you leave a comment, we collect the information you provide in the comment form. This includes things like your name, email, and what you wrote. To help us fight spam, we also collect your IP address (which identifies your internet connection) and information about your web browser.
If you use Gravatar with your email, a scrambled version of your email address might be sent to them so your profile picture can show up next to your comment. You can learn more about how Gravatar handles privacy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Uploading Pictures
If you upload pictures to our site, it’s best not to include any location information (EXIF GPS) in them. Other people could download the pictures and see that location data.
Cookies and Other Tracking Stuff
We use things called “cookies” to make your experience smoother. When you comment, you can choose to have your name, email, and website saved in cookies so you don’t have to type them in again. These cookies stick around for a year.
If you go to our login page, we use a temporary cookie to see if your browser is okay with cookies. This cookie doesn’t store any personal info and disappears when you close your browser.
When you log in, we use cookies to remember your login details and how you like things to look on the screen. These last for two days, or two weeks if you click “Remember Me.” Logging out deletes these cookies. If you edit or post something, we use another cookie that shows the post’s ID. This one goes away after a day.
Content from Other Websites
Sometimes, we include content from other websites in our articles, like videos or pictures. This content acts like you’re visiting the other site directly.
Those websites might collect information about you, use their own cookies, and track what you do with their content, especially if you have an account with them and you’re logged in.
How We Use Your Information
We might use your information to:
- Approve and manage comments you leave.
- Make our website better and easier to use.
- Talk to you, like answering questions or helping you reset your password.
Who We Share Your Information With
If you ask for a password reset, your IP address goes in the reset email. We also might use automated systems to check comments for spam.
How Long We Keep Your Information
If you leave a comment, we keep it and related info forever. This helps us quickly approve any follow-up comments.
If you register, we keep the information you give us in your profile. You can see, change, or delete most of this info whenever you want (except for your username). Our website admins can also see and change this info.
Your Rights
If you have an account or left comments, you can ask for a file with all the personal data we have about you. You can also ask us to delete it. But we might have to keep some info for legal or security reasons.
Where Your Information Goes
Comments might be checked by automated spam-fighting services.
Other Services and Cookies
We use other services, like Google Analytics, to see how people use our website so we can make it better. These services might collect and use data about how you use our site. You can read how they handle privacy in their own privacy policies. This list of services may change occasionally.

These services might also use their own cookies. This includes:
