At NovexaHub, our website privacy policy ensures your data is handled with care. For instance, we collect specific information when you engage with our site, such as leaving comments or uploading media. Consequently, we prioritize transparency in how we manage your data, from cookies to embedded content. Therefore, this policy explains your rights and our practices clearly.

Website Privacy Policy: What Data We Collect
When visitors leave comments on NovexaHub, we collect the data shown in the comments form. For example, this includes your name, email, and website URL. Additionally, we gather your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection, as advised by experts at Automattic. Meanwhile, an anonymized string (hash) from your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After comment approval, your Gravatar profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media and Your Data Under Our Privacy Policy
If you upload images to NovexaHub, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). For instance, visitors can download and extract this data from images on the site. As a result, we recommend removing such metadata before uploading to protect your privacy. Moreover, this aligns with best practices outlined in our About Us page, where we emphasize user safety.
Cookies and Website Privacy Policy Practices
If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. For example, these cookies make commenting easier by auto-filling your details for future visits. They last for one year. Additionally, visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie holds no personal data and disappears when you close your browser. Meanwhile, logging in sets cookies for your login info and screen display choices, lasting two days and one year, respectively. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. However, logging out removes these cookies. Finally, editing or publishing an article saves a cookie with the post ID, expiring in one day.
Embedded Content and Its Role in Data Privacy
Articles on NovexaHub may include embedded content like videos or images from other websites. For instance, this content behaves as if you visited the original site. Consequently, these external sites may collect your data, use cookies, or track your interactions, especially if you’re logged into their platform. Therefore, we suggest reviewing the privacy policies of these sites, such as Automattic, to understand their practices.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. However, NovexaHub does not share your data with third parties unless required for spam detection or legal purposes. For example, visitor comments may be checked via an automated spam detection service, ensuring site security.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. For instance, this allows us to approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a queue. Moreover, registered users’ personal info is stored in their profiles. As a result, users can edit or delete their data anytime, except for their username. Website admins can also view and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data in Our Privacy Policy
If you have an account or have left comments on NovexaHub, you can request an exported file of your personal data. For example, this includes data you’ve provided to us. Additionally, you can request that we erase your personal data, except for data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Therefore, your control over your information is a priority for us.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. For instance, this ensures a safe user experience on NovexaHub. Meanwhile, we do not send your data to other third parties unless required by law, as detailed in resources like Automattic’s Privacy Policy.
