MexusNews.com (“Website,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website. By using our Website, you consent to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.


1. 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 see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. 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, please 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.

Contact Forms
If you use our contact forms, we collect the information you provide, such as name and email address, to respond to your inquiries. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt-in.


2. 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.

  • Login Cookies: When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
  • Article Cookies: 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 one day.
  • Temporary Cookies: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

3. 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 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 the embedded content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged into that website.


4. Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services to monitor and analyze web traffic and improve our Website. These third-party services may use cookies and collect data about your interactions with our Website.


5. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User Accounts: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

6. Your Rights 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 to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold, excluding any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


7. Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

We may receive data from third-party services, including analytics providers.
