Comments

When visitors leave comments on swept.pro, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. Your comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.

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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on swept.pro 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 that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly or with partners for analytical purposes. We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.

We use a third-party service for basic analytics. This service has access to aggregated data only and is contractually obligated to keep your information confidential.
