Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6/1/2025

Shadow Swipe (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information you provide to us when you visit https://www.shadowswipe.com.


Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.shadowswipe.com.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (a “hash”) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.


Media

If you upload images to the website, 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

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if 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; screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply shows the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one 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 the same as if you visited that website directly.

These third-party sites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.


Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.


How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view 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 an exported file of your personal data that we hold, including data you provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This excludes any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Other data may be processed through secure third-party services necessary for our operations, under appropriate data protection agreements.
