Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.trailblazingminds.com.
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
We do not allow visitors to upload images to the website. If this policy changes in the future, please note that images uploaded to the site may contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
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 a page with a login feature in the future, we may set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie will contain no personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the 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.
Who we share your data with
Currently, we do not offer account registration or password reset features. If this changes in the future, users who request a password reset may have their IP address included in the reset email
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Currently, we do not have user registration on our website. If this changes in the future, we will store the personal information users provide in their profiles. Registered users will be able to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they will not be able to change their username). Website administrators will also be able to view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Analytics & Tracking Tools
We use WordPress’s built-in analytics tools, along with third-party tracking tools such as Microsoft Clarity, to gather data on user interactions, including pages visited, time spent on the site, and referral sources. These tools help us improve our content and website performance. Microsoft Clarity may collect data on user interactions with the site, such as clicks, scrolling behavior, and page activity, to provide us with insights into how users engage with the site.
