Effective date: May 6, 2025
Welcome to Azdealz.net. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data and your rights when using our website.
1. Who are we
Our website address is: https://azdealz.net
We are a content-driven platform focused on reviewing and recommending digital tools, including SaaS services, WordPress products, and VPNs.
2. What personal data do we collect and why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Contact forms
If you send us a message via a contact form, the information you submit is stored to respond to your message. We do not share this information with third parties or use it for marketing without your consent.
Cookies
- If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, and these cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to test if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, cookies will store your login info and screen preferences. Login cookies last for 2 days; display preference cookies last for 1 year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep your login for 2 weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
- If you edit or publish a post, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID. It expires after 1 day.
4. Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.).
Embedded content behaves just like if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction, especially if you’re logged into that other site.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics tools to better understand how visitors use our site. These tools may collect information such as browser type, location, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data helps us improve the user experience, but does not include personally identifiable information.
6. How long do we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their data (except the username). Site admins can also see and edit that info.
7. Your data rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold, excluding data we’re required to keep for legal or security purposes.
To make a request, please email us via the contact page.
8. Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will always be posted here with the “Effective Date” above.
