Legal Privacy Policy – Raghava Legal

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://raghava-legal.com. This Legal privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website.

How We Handle Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data they provide in the comment form, along with their IP address and browser user agent to detect spam. We send an anonymized string (hash) of your email to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After we approve your comment, your profile picture appears publicly alongside your comment.

Uploading Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images and extract any location data if it is present.

Cookies We Use

We set cookies for several purposes:

  • Comment Cookies: When you leave a comment, you can save your name, email, and website in cookies to make future comments easier. These cookies last one year.

  • Login Cookies: Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie disappears when you close the browser. Logging in sets cookies to save login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, screen option cookies last one year, and choosing “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

  • Editing Cookies: When you edit or publish an article, we save a cookie with the post ID of the edited article. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. These websites collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction as if you visited them directly.

Sharing Your Data

If you request a password reset, we include your IP address in the reset email.

Data Retention

We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For registered users, we store personal information in their profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their information (except username). Administrators can also view and edit this data.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You can also request deletion of your data, except the data we must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
