Commitment to User Privacy
At ignitionstormlash.info, we take the protection of personal data very seriously, and all information submitted by visitors—including comments, IP addresses, browser and device metadata—is handled securely, stored responsibly, and used only for the purposes of site functionality, spam mitigation, security monitoring, and the enhancement of user experience, in compliance with relevant legal and ethical standards.

Data Collection and Logging

We gather information that users voluntarily provide when leaving comments or submitting forms, as well as technical metadata such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and access timestamps, which is critical for monitoring security, detecting unauthorized access, preventing spam, and improving website performance.

Media and Metadata Advisory

Users uploading media should take care to remove embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to prevent accidental exposure of personal information, as uploaded files may be accessed by other users or third-party services, creating potential privacy risks.

Cookies and Persistent Storage

Cookies are used to store user information such as name, email, and website address for up to one year when leaving comments; temporary cookies verify browser compatibility, login cookies last two days, and interface preference cookies persist for one year. The “Remember Me” feature extends session persistence for two weeks, providing a seamless login experience while maintaining security.

External Content Integration

Embedded content from external websites, such as videos, social feeds, or interactive widgets, behaves as if users visit those sites directly, enabling external services to collect information, set cookies, and monitor engagement independently of our privacy policy, according to their own terms and practices.

Data Retention, Access, and Rights

All comments and associated metadata are stored indefinitely to facilitate moderation and administrative tasks. Registered users can access, modify, or request deletion of their personal data, except for immutable identifiers, while administrators retain oversight to maintain security. Users may request a comprehensive copy of all personal data held, and request deletion of any information not legally required to be retained, ensuring transparency and control over personal information.

Automated Analysis and Security

Visitor comments may be analyzed using automated systems to detect spam and maintain a secure, orderly community environment, ensuring compliance with guidelines while protecting user privacy.
