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, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data is collected to help with spam detection and to facilitate the comment moderation process. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is 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 can download and extract any location data from images on the website. This is a potential privacy risk, and we advise users to remove this data before uploading.
Contact forms
When you submit information via our contact forms, we collect the data entered into the form fields. This data is used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or fulfilling your request. We do not use this data for marketing purposes unless explicitly stated and consented to by you.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will 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.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Violipiano has no control over these third-party websites and their data collection practices.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us understand how visitors use our website, improve its functionality, and enhance the user experience. These services collect anonymized data such as IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, referring pages, and duration of visits. This information is used in an aggregated form and does not personally identify you.
Who we share your data with
We share your data with automated spam detection services to protect our website and users. Anonymized data may be shared with analytics providers to help us analyze website traffic and usage. We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, which may involve transferring data outside the European Economic Area.

Additional information
How we protect your data
We implement various security measures to protect the personal data we collect, including encryption, firewalls, and secure server hosting. We strive to maintain the security of your information, but no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to assess the breach, mitigate its impact, and notify affected individuals and regulatory authorities as required by applicable laws.
What third parties we receive data from
We receive anonymized data from services like Gravatar (for profile pictures linked to email hashes) and analytics providers (for website usage statistics).
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling with user data that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you. Our spam detection service is automated, but it is a security measure rather than a profiling tool.
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
Violipiano strives to comply with all relevant data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users within the European Union, where applicable. We are committed to transparency in our data handling practices.
