Privacy Policy

Welcome to First Finds Hub. This page explains our privacy practices and how we handle your data.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://firstfindshub.com.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms

Any information submitted via our contact forms is used solely for responding to your inquiries and will be processed accordingly.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, screen options cookies last for one year, and if you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser indicating the post ID of the article you just edited. This cookie 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 as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, implement additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to monitor traffic and usage patterns on our website. This data may include your IP address, browser type, and interaction with our content to help us improve our services.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Aside from this, we do not share your personal data with third parties except as necessary for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, allowing us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For registered users (if any), we also store the personal information provided in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except for their username). Website administrators have similar access for administrative purposes.

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 have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for any data that we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service that may send your data to third-party service providers for this purpose.
