At MedWorld News (http://medworldnews.com), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you visit or interact with our website.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://medworldnews.com
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
- If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, a cookie is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves just as if the visitor had visited those websites directly.
These sites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content — including if you’re logged in to those sites.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and metadata are retained indefinitely.
- For registered users (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal info (except usernames). Admins can also view and modify that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold — excluding data required for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
