Who we are
Our website is: https://naijahive.com.
Comments
When visitors post comments on the site, we gather the information entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent details to aid in identifying spam.
A hashed version of your email address, which is an anonymized string, might be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an associated account. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly displayed alongside your comment.
Media
When uploading images to the website, it’s recommended to avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download images and potentially extract any location information contained within them.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t need to re-enter your information when commenting again. These cookies will remain active for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and will be deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, several cookies will be set up to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies will last for two days, and screen options cookies will last for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will be retained for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you just edited. It will expire after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may feature embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as it would if you were visiting those websites directly.
These external sites may gather data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content. This includes tracking your engagement if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent to you for resetting your password.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any future comments you make, without placing them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we have on record, including any data you have provided to us. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not apply to any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be screened using an automated spam detection service.
