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 created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) may be visible publicly in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
Grounded Grimoire uses cookies to improve your experience.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether 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 information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
We may also use basic analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site (such as pages viewed and time spent). These tools may use cookies to collect non-personal, aggregated data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example: videos, images, articles, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content — including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Grounded Grimoire does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on this website may be affiliate links, including links to Amazon and other retailers. This means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through those links, at no additional cost to you.
We only recommend products, books, or resources we genuinely believe are relevant and useful to our audience. We will never sell you something we wouldn’t buy ourselves.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Certain third-party services (such as spam detection, analytics providers, or email service platforms) may process data on our behalf to help operate the website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To make a data request, please contact us through our contact page.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Depending on the services used to operate this website (such as hosting providers, analytics services, or email platforms), data may be processed outside your country of residence in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
