Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy. Below you'll find exactly what we collect, how we use it, and how you can take control. Frankly speaking: no tricks, no tracking games.

Who we are

Our website address: https://franklyspeakingstudios.ai

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 detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to see if you're using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once approved, your profile picture is visible publicly with your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract this data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies—for convenience. These last one year.

If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

Logging in sets up several cookies to save login details and screen options. Login cookies last two days, "Remember Me" lasts two weeks, and an edit cookie (no personal data) expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited those sites directly.

These sites may collect data, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor interactions, especially if you’re logged in to their services.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How long we retain your data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for automated moderation and follow-up approvals.

Registered users (if any) can see, edit, or delete their personal info at any time (except username). Admins can also view and edit that data.

What rights you have over your data

You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to erase it—excluding any data we must keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
