At Teslaniac.com, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect and how we use, protect, and handle your data when you visit our website. By accessing Teslaniac.com, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://teslaniac.com.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website, such as your name, email address, or other details you submit via contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, or account registration. Additionally, we collect non-personal information such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage data through cookies and analytics tools.
2. 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 see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
4. Cookies
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 that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect may be used to provide and improve our services, personalize your experience, communicate with you (e.g., newsletters or responses to inquiries), analyze website traffic, and ensure the security of our platform.
7. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
8. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
9. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
10. Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
11. Data Security
We take appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. However, no data transmission or storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Your Rights
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. If you wish to exercise these rights or have concerns about your data, please contact us at the email address provided below.
13. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with the effective date. Please review this policy periodically to stay informed.
