Who we are
At Umberly, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services and visit our website or mobile app. By accessing or using Umberly, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public 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 can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze trends, administer the website or app, track users’ movements, and gather demographic information. You can modify your browser settings to decline cookies, but this may affect your ability to access certain features of our services.
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.
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.
Data Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Who we share your data with
We may collect various types of information from you, including personal information, non-personal information, and anonymous information. This may include your name, email address, contact information, demographic information, and other relevant details necessary to provide our services. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may use your information for purposes such as providing and improving our services, communicating with you, personalizing your experience, analyzing usage data, and complying with legal obligations. We will not sell or share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent.
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.
What rights you have 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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Our services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Umberly. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing any personal information.
Children’s Privacy
Umberly does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information from our records.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates. Your continued use of our services after any modifications to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
