Who We Are
Our website address is: https://dailydatabrief.com.
If you have any privacy-related questions, you can reach us via info@dailydatabrief.com.
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 to help spam detection and protect website security.
An anonymized hash string generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use this profile image platform. The Gravatar privacy policy can be viewed here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is manually approved, your public profile avatar will display alongside your published comment.
Media Files
If you upload images to DailyDataBrief, we recommend you avoid uploading photos containing embedded EXIF GPS location metadata. Any site visitor can download and extract geographic location data from all images hosted on our platform.
Cookies
If you submit a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address and website URL in persistent cookies for convenience. These cookies eliminate the need to re-enter your personal details for future comments and remain stored on your device for 12 months.
When you navigate to our login page, a temporary test cookie will be set to verify your browser supports cookie storage. This cookie contains no personal identifiable information and is automatically deleted once you close your browser window.
Upon logging into your account, multiple functional cookies will be saved to retain your login credentials and display preferences. Login authentication cookies expire after two days, while layout and screen setting cookies last one full year. If you tick the “Remember Me” option, your logged-in session will persist for 14 days. Logging out of your account will clear all active login cookies immediately.
If you edit or publish a news article, an additional short-term cookie will be stored. This cookie only records the unique ID of the post you modified and holds no private user data; it expires after 24 hours.
Embedded Content From External Websites
All articles published on DailyDataBrief may contain embedded third-party content, including videos, photographs, news excerpts, and interactive widgets. Embedded media from other sites operates identically to visiting the original external website directly.
These external platforms may collect visitor data, deploy tracking cookies, integrate third-party tracking scripts, and monitor user interactions with embedded content. This tracking behavior applies even if you hold an active account and are logged into that external website.
Who We Share Your Personal Data With
If you submit a password reset request via our website, your public IP address will be attached to the automated reset email we send to you for security verification purposes.
We share limited visitor data with automated anti-spam services to filter malicious comment submissions, and only share your personal information with third-party service providers required to operate our website (such as hosting, analytics, and email delivery partners) under strict data protection agreements. We will never sell your personal data to advertisers or unrelated third parties.
How Long We Store Your Data
If you leave a public comment, the full comment text and its associated metadata are stored permanently. This allows our moderation system to automatically recognize and approve your follow-up comments without manual review delays.
For registered user accounts on our website, we securely store all personal profile information you voluntarily submit. All registered users have full permission to view, edit, or delete their personal profile data at any time; the only unchangeable field is your unique account username. Website administrators also hold full access to view and modify all user profile information.
Your Rights Over Your Personal Data
If you maintain a registered account on DailyDataBrief or have previously submitted public comments, you may submit a formal request to receive an exported data file containing all personal records we hold linked to you, including any information you voluntarily provided to our platform. You also retain the right to request full erasure of all personal data we store about you.
This data deletion right excludes information we are legally obligated to retain for administrative compliance, site security, or mandatory regulatory record-keeping purposes.
Where Your Visitor Data Is Sent
All visitor comments submitted to DailyDataBrief are scanned through an automated cloud anti-spam service to block harmful bot submissions. Basic visitor metadata (IP address, user agent) is temporarily transmitted to this third-party spam filtering tool for fraud detection only.
Updates To This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes to our website operations, legal compliance requirements, or data processing practices. All policy updates will be posted publicly on this page, and continued use of https://dailydatabrief.com after revisions take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
