This Privacy Policy explains how MediaThud collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when users visit and interact with our website. MediaThud is a media and news platform committed to respecting user privacy and handling personal data responsibly in accordance with applicable data protection principles.
Who We Are
Our website address is https://mediathud.com
. MediaThud publishes news, media content, and informational articles for a global audience.
Information We Collect
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent details. This information is collected to help with spam detection and to maintain the integrity of our platform.
An anonymized string generated from your email address may be shared with a profile image service to determine whether you are using that service. Once your comment is approved, your profile image, if available, may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
If users choose to upload media files to the website, we advise avoiding images that contain embedded location data. Such data may be accessible to other visitors who download media from the site.
Cookies
MediaThud uses cookies to enhance user experience and improve website functionality. When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies remain active for one year.
Temporary cookies may be set when you visit our login page to confirm whether your browser accepts cookies. Login related cookies store authentication and display preferences for a limited period. Additional cookies may be stored when content is edited or published, and these cookies do not contain personal data.
Embedded Content
Articles published on MediaThud may include embedded content from third party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These third party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into their services.
Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties. In certain cases, such as password reset requests, your IP address may be included in system generated emails for security purposes.
Data Retention
Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely to allow automatic approval of future comments. For registered users, personal information provided within user profiles is stored securely. Users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for usernames. Website administrators may also access this information for management purposes.
Your Data Rights
Users who have accounts or have left comments may request a copy of the personal data we hold about them. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal or administrative obligations that require us to retain certain information.
Data Processing and Security
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services. We implement reasonable security measures to protect personal data, although no online system can guarantee complete security.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of any updates.
