Data Privacy and Security
The website astroforgex.info is dedicated to protecting the privacy and personal data of its visitors. Information collected, including comments, email addresses, IP addresses, browser metadata, and other technical details, is processed solely for operational purposes, enhancing site functionality, preventing spam, and ensuring secure interactions, in accordance with applicable legal standards.
Information Gathering
Data is collected both voluntarily, through user submissions such as comments and forms, and automatically, through logging IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and timestamps. This combination allows us to detect malicious activity, maintain security, and improve overall user experience.
Media and Metadata
When uploading media files, users are advised to remove embedded metadata such as GPS information or device identifiers to prevent accidental disclosure of private information to third parties or other visitors.
Cookies, Sessions, and Preferences
Cookies store information including names, emails, and URLs for one year. Temporary cookies verify browser compatibility, login cookies persist for two days, and preference cookies remain active for one year. The “Remember Me” feature extends login sessions for two weeks. Logging out removes session-related cookies to ensure privacy.
External Embedded Content
Embedded content from third-party services such as videos or social feeds behaves as if the visitor is accessing the service directly. These external services may collect information, set cookies, and monitor engagement according to their own policies, independent of our website.
Retention and User Rights
Comments and associated metadata are stored indefinitely for moderation and administrative purposes. Registered users may access, edit, or request deletion of personal information, with administrators maintaining oversight to protect data security. Users can request a complete data report and deletion of non-essential data.
Automated Spam Detection
All comments may be analyzed automatically to prevent spam and ensure a safe, orderly environment. Users maintain control over their data and may exercise their rights to remove information not legally required to be retained.
