Each of those sites collects and processes data independently. Please review their respective policies for details. This policy covers only what happens on texs.org itself.
What We Collect
WordPress & Hosting
texs.org runs on WordPress. The hosting provider may automatically log standard server data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used for security and site maintenance and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Comments
If you leave a comment on texs.org, WordPress collects the data shown in the comment form (your name, email address, and optionally your website URL), along with your IP address and browser user-agent string. This information is used to detect spam and display your comment.
An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile image. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy.
Cookies
texs.org may set the following cookies:
- WordPress cookies — If you leave a comment, WordPress saves your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter them on future comments. These expire after one year.
- Authentication cookie — A shared authentication cookie (
texs_auth) may be set with the domain.texs.orgif you are logged in on a related subdomain (vhs.texs.org or whatfont.texs.org). This cookie is HttpOnly, Secure, and used solely to maintain your login state across texs.org subdomains. texs.org itself does not read or use this cookie.
Analytics
texs.org does not currently use any analytics or tracking services.
Embedded Content
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, links). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited those sites directly and may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction.
How We Use Your Data
- Comment data is used to display your comment and detect spam.
- Server logs are used for security monitoring and troubleshooting.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.
Data Retention
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so they can be recognized and approved automatically rather than held for moderation. Server logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s standard retention policy.
Your Rights
If you have left a comment on this site, you can request to receive a copy of your personal data or request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
