Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the Notch FM website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, including EXIF GPS data. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to enter your information again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we may also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies generally last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles and pages on the Notch FM website may include embedded content, including videos, images, audio players, articles, social media content, and other material.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the third-party website directly.

These websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This may include tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account with that third party and are logged in to that account.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email.

Information may also be processed by third-party services used to operate, secure, host, analyze, or provide functionality for the Notch FM website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, if registration is available, we may also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users may generally see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except that they may not be able to change their username. Website administrators may also access and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on the Notch FM website or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including information you have provided to us.

You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include information that we are required to retain for administrative, legal, regulatory, security, or other legitimate purposes.

Where your data is sent

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

Information associated with website activity may also be processed by hosting providers, website services, embedded content providers, analytics services, or other third-party technology providers used in connection with the operation of notchfm.com.
