Welcome to The Creative Phoenix! Our website address is https://thecreativephoenix.net. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services.
What Personal Data We Collect & Why
1. Comments & User Interaction
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect:
- Data provided in the comment form (name, email, message).
- Visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to detect spam.
- An anonymized string (hash) created from your email may be provided to Gravatar to check if you use their service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public within the comment section.
2. Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract location details from uploaded images.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience.
- Comments Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year for convenience.
- Login Cookies: If you log in, we store login details for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected). These cookies are removed when you log out.
- Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie indicating the post ID will be saved in your browser, expiring after one day.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). These behave just as if you visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may:
✔️ Collect data about you.

- Data may be shared with third-party services that assist in running our website, such as hosting providers, analytics, and security services.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- For registered users, we store their personal data in their user profile. Users can edit, update, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website admins can also access and modify this data.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can:
✔️ Request an exported file of the personal data we hold.

We prioritize the security of your personal data and implement SSL encryption, firewalls, and security monitoring to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.

This data helps us improve user experience but does not personally identify you.
