Privacy Policy – Creativecustomworld

At Creativecustomworld (https://creativecustomworld.com), your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy outlines what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you interact with our site.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. We may also use an anonymized string (a hash) from your email address with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this data from images posted on the site.

Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies last for one year.
  • Account: If you log in, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.
  • Editing and Publishing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser, expiring after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos or images from other websites. These external websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction if you’re logged in to those websites.

Data Retention

  • Comments: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
  • Registered Users: If you register on our site, your personal information is stored in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username).

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold. You can also request that we erase any personal data, except for information required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to prevent unauthorized or malicious activities.

Data Protection & Security

We take security seriously. Your personal information is protected by industry-standard encryption methods, including SSL technology and AES-256 encryption for sensitive data like credit card information. Although no transmission method over the Internet is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS and other industry regulations to keep your data safe.

Third-Party Services

Some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways, have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your information. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how your data is managed during transactions.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track site traffic and user interactions to improve the overall website experience. This data helps us understand which pages are most visited and how visitors engage with our content.

Age of Consent

By using our site, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or you have given consent for any minor dependents to use this site.
