At Black Elites (https://blackelites.com), your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, leave comments, or interact with our content.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://blackelites.com

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 detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. 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 the website, please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not need to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check 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 set up cookies to save your login info and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. Upon logging out, login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

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 just as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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.

For users that register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you’ve provided to us.

You may 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 Your Data Is Sent

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