Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.newhavenpostal.org

New Haven Postal is an independent informational blog providing public-interest content for a global audience.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as 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 determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract any location data from images published on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies may last for up to one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies may be set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, and screen option cookies may last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for up to two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It usually expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, particularly if you are logged into an account on that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.

We do not sell, trade, or rent users’ personal identification information to others.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for changing their username. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may 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. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services to maintain site security and content quality.
