At Writings with Raghav, I share poems, stories, and reflections — but I also value your trust. This page explains what information may be collected when you interact with the site, and how it is used.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://writingswithraghav.com.
What Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When you leave a comment, the site collects:
- The details you enter (name, email, website).
- Your IP address and browser details (to help prevent spam).
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized version of your email may be shared with that service so your profile picture can appear with your comment.
Media
If you upload images, please avoid adding location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract this information from your images.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that make your visit smoother:
- If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your details for future comments.
- Login and display preference cookies may also be set (these expire automatically after a set time).
- If you publish or edit an article, a temporary cookie will be saved to remember which post you edited.
Embedded Content
Some posts may include embedded content (like videos, images, or articles). These behave exactly as if you visited the original site, which may collect data about you.
Analytics
Basic analytics may be used to understand how visitors use the site so I can continue improving the reading experience.
How Long We Keep Your Data
- Comments and their details are kept indefinitely so follow-up discussions flow more easily.
- If you create an account, your information is stored in your profile. You can edit or delete it at any time (except your username).
Your Rights
You can request to:
- Receive a copy of any personal data held about you.
- Have your personal data deleted, unless it must be kept for legal or security reasons.
Where Your Data Goes
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
