Who We Are

Bigposting.com (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates https://new.bigposting.com (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our services. By accessing or using our Website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

What Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our Website, we collect the data provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

Additionally, an anonymized hash created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our Website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the Website can extract this information.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance user experience, including:

  • Saving your name, email, and website when you leave a comment (optional, expires after one year)
  • Setting temporary cookies on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
  • Storing login details and screen preferences (login cookies last for two days, screen preferences for one year)
  • Saving an additional cookie when you edit or publish an article (expires after one day)

Embedded Content from Third-Party Websites

Articles on our Website may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you have visited the original third-party website. These external sites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including if you are logged in to their platform.

We collect and process personal data to:

  • Provide and improve our services
  • Detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Enhance user experience and Website functionality

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your personal data. However, we may share information:

  • With third-party service providers to assist with security, analytics, or Website functionality
  • If required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our business and users
  • With spam detection services when processing visitor comments

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for automatic approval of future comments
  • For registered users, we store personal data in their profiles. Users can edit or delete their data at any time (except their username)

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you've provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data, excluding data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. In some cases, data may be processed outside of your jurisdiction if required by our third-party service providers.

How We Protect Your Data

We implement appropriate security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
