At NeonLock, your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form alongside the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

To enhance user interactions, we may use external services to display profile pictures. In some cases, an anonymised version of your email address may be sent to these services to check for compatibility. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if applicable, may be visible to other visitors.

Media

If you upload images to our site, we recommend avoiding files with embedded location data. Visitors to the site can potentially extract location details from such images.

Cookies

To improve your experience, we use cookies in the following ways:

• Comments: When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
• Login: Visiting our login page generates a temporary cookie to test if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
• Session Management: Logging in creates cookies to save your login information and display settings. Login cookies last two days, while display options cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
• Publishing: Editing or publishing an article generates an additional cookie containing the post ID of the article. This expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our website may include embedded content, such as videos or articles. Embedded content behaves exactly as it would if you visited the source website.

These external websites may collect data, use cookies, and employ third-party tracking. They may monitor your interaction with their content, especially if you’re logged into their platform.

Who We Share Your Data With

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our services, such as hosting platforms, analytics providers, or payment processors. These parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and will only use your data for the purposes we specify.

How Long We Retain Your Data

When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely to streamline the approval process for follow-up comments.

For registered users, personal information provided in their profile is stored securely. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal details at any time, except for their username. Administrators also have access to edit user information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account with us or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold, excluding data retained for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be reviewed through an automated spam detection service to ensure the security and integrity of our website.
