Who we are
Welcome to JasonTokarski.com, your go-to resource for expert software engineering guides, tutorials, and more. Our commitment to protecting your privacy is paramount. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you choose to upload images to JasonTokarski.com, please ensure they don’t contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Be aware that visitors to our site can download and extract location data from these images.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set up additional cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Editing or publishing an article will store an additional cookie in your browser, which contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
We retain your comments and their metadata indefinitely to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users on our website, we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for your username). Our website administrators also have access to this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we’re required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
