Privacy Policy
At Exactreads, accessible from https://exactreads.com, protecting your privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that are collected and recorded by Exactreads and how we use it.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://exactreads.com.
Exactreads is a content-based platform focused on providing useful, accurate, and easy-to-understand information across various topics including technology, digital tools, and educational content.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our 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 created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to enhance user experience and improve functionality.
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and will last for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, cookies are used to save your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for up to two weeks.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you have visited the external website directly.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except username). Website administrators can also access and manage this information.
