Data Collection
We respect your privacy. When you interact with our site, we may request certain personal information, particularly when you leave comments or use our contact form to get in touch with us.
In addition, please note that our website utilizes third-party services for analytics, advertising, and various other purposes. These services may use cookies or similar tools to deliver ads based on a user’s prior interactions with our site and others.
On this page, we elaborate on the types of data collected and the reasons behind it.
Data We Collect and Why
Comments:
When visitors leave comments on our site, we gather the information provided in the comments form. Additionally, we collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.
Gravatar:
An anonymized string generated from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. Please refer to the Gravatar service privacy policy here for further details. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media:
If you upload images to our website, kindly refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can potentially download and extract location data from these images.
Contact Page:
When you use our contact page to send us a message, we may ask for your name and email address. Please note that this information will neither be shared with third parties nor stored in our database. However, it will be visible to the administrators of this website, who may use it to follow up on news tips or respond to inquiries.
Cookies:
If you comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are small text files automatically stored on your computer by your web browser. They are for your convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter your information when posting another comment. These cookies remain valid for one year.
If you have an account and log in to our site, a temporary cookie is set to verify whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
Upon logging in, we establish several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser, containing no personal data but indicating the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites:
Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from other websites. Embedded content functions similarly to if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, employ cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction even if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics & Access Data:
Upon visiting techylist.com, certain information is automatically recorded by our server, currently managed by CloudWays, and third-party services including Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, and Automattic’s WordPress Plugin “JetPacks” Stats. This data encompasses:
- Your IP address
- The name of the page visited
- Date and time of the visit
- Your browser type and version
- Your operating system
- A referring URL, if applicable (the page previously visited)
This data aids us in assessing responses to articles, understanding visitor demographics, and enhancing our ability to serve our audience.
We have implemented IP anonymization in Google Analytics, ensuring that your full IP address is never stored. For more information on how Google manages user data for analytics and advertising, please consult Google’s privacy documentation.
Data Sharing
Advertising:
Apksall.com collaborates with several third-party advertising and affiliate revenue services. These companies may employ information about your visits to our website and others to provide advertisements tailored to your interests. Our advertising partners include:
- Google AdSense – Privacy Policy & Opt-out from personalized ads
- Amazon Affiliate Program – Amazon Privacy Notice
- eBay Partner Network – Privacy
- Skimlinks – Privacy Policy (opt-out)
Each of these services may utilize cookies and collect personal data, each with its own privacy policy. For example, Skimlinks automatically converts some links on this website into affiliate links, capturing IP addresses and generating unique cookie IDs and device IDs for cross-device matching. Users can opt out of the Skimlinks cookie here and adjust their preferences.
Users can also opt out of personalized Google AdSense advertisements.
To learn more about how Google manages user data for analytics and advertising, please refer to Google’s privacy documentation.
These companies may use cookies and clear GIFs to measure advertising effectiveness. However, this information generally does not identify you by personal attributes such as name or email address, unless you voluntarily provide it in response to an ad or email message.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
You can also find additional information about these practices and discover options for opting out of some data collection efforts by advertisers on the Network Advertising Initiative’s website.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This facilitates the automatic approval of subsequent comments rather than placing them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), 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, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request to receive an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request the deletion of your personal data, excluding data we are legally obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Requests can be submitted via our contact page or, if you have an account with techylist.com, by logging in and visiting your profile page to change settings or delete your account.
