When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) may appear publicly next to your comment.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on HopHeadsHub may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves as if you visited those sites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — especially if you are logged into those websites.

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, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.
Registered users (if any) can view, edit, or delete their personal information anytime — except their username. Website administrators can also access and edit user information as needed.
