Privacy Policy

About This Site

This website operates at https://deborked.com (“Deborked,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

Information We Collect

Comments

When you submit a comment, we collect the information you enter in the comment form along with your IP address and browser details for spam prevention purposes. Your email address may be processed through Gravatar’s service to display your profile image. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar image will be publicly visible alongside it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This service may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is aggregated and anonymized.

Images & Media

Uploaded images may contain embedded metadata such as GPS coordinates. We recommend removing location data from images before uploading, as other visitors could potentially access this information.

Cookie Usage

Commenting on our site gives you the option to store your name, email, and website in cookies for one year, saving you from re-entering this information on future comments.

Our login system uses the following cookies:

  • Browser check: A temporary cookie to verify browser compatibility, deleted when you close your browser
  • Login session: Lasts two days for login data and one year for display preferences
  • Remember Me: Extends your session to two weeks if selected
  • Content editing: A short-lived cookie (24 hours) that tracks only the post ID when editing or publishing content

Logging out clears all login-related cookies.

Third-Party Embedded Content

Our articles may contain embedded material from external sites such as videos or images. Interacting with this content is equivalent to visiting those external sites directly — they may independently collect your data, set cookies, and track your activity, particularly if you hold an account with them.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Password reset requests will include your IP address in the notification email. Comments may be processed through automated spam detection tools.

Data Retention

Comments and associated metadata are stored indefinitely to streamline moderation of future replies. Registered users’ profile data is retained until deletion is requested. Users may view, modify, or remove their personal data at any time, with the exception of usernames.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a full export of all personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your personal data (excluding data we are legally required to retain)
  • Withdraw consent for data processing at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
