This Privacy Policy outlines how Lex Assisto (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit and interact with our website: https://lexassisto.com (the “Website”). By accessing or using our Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://lexassisto.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled securely and in compliance with applicable laws in India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and its associated rules.
2. Data We Collect and How We Use It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our Website, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our Website, ensure that the images do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the Website may download and extract such location data from images.
Cookies
- If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and last for one year.
- When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
- Upon login, additional cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen options cookies last for one year.
- If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logout removes these cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will store the post ID of the edited article. This cookie expires after one day.
Embedded Content
Articles on our Website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you have visited those websites directly. These third-party websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional tracking mechanisms, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into their websites.
3. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal data with third parties except as outlined in this Privacy Policy or when legally required. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
4. Data Retention
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
- Registered Users: For users who register on our Website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
5. Your Rights Over Your Data
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access and Portability: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at lexassisto@gmail.com.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services. These services may be hosted outside India, and by using our Website, you consent to such transfers.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
