Who We Are
This website is operated by Karimi Stone. Our official website address is: https://karimistone.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how personal data is collected and used.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect spam and maintain the security and integrity of our platform.
An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image may be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the Karimi Stone website, we recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download images and extract location information from them.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies typically remain active for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is created to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies usually last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for up to one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login may remain active for up to two weeks. Logging out removes login-related cookies.
If you edit or publish content on our website, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal information and simply records the ID of the edited content. It expires after 24 hours.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in to that platform.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security verification purposes. Apart from essential operational and security services, we do not sell or share personal data with third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for manual moderation.
If you register on our website (where applicable), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You may view, update, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username. Website administrators may also access and manage this information as required.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data, except where retention is required for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services to protect our website and users from malicious activity.
