Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Welcome to The Millennial Pause! The website address is http://www.millennialpauseblog.com, and I’m happy to have you here.

Comments

When you leave a comment on the site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent. This helps us keep spam at bay and maintain a safe space for everyone.

We may use an anonymized version of your email (a hash) to check if you have a Gravatar profile. You can find Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be shown alongside your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

When visiting our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we create cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks, and logging out removes the login cookies.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly. These external sites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to those sites.

Affiliate Links

Our site may include affiliate links to products and services that we use and trust. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Rest assured, we do not have access to any of your personal information when you use affiliate links. Your transaction is handled securely by the merchant’s site, and we only receive information on the commission earned.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Site administrators can also access and modify this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we have, except for data we need to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to keep our community secure and enjoyable.

Your Data Is Safe with Us

Your privacy is important to us, and we want to assure you that we will never sell your data. The information collected is used solely to enhance your experience on the site and maintain site functionality. We are committed to protecting your data and handling it responsibly.


We care about your privacy and are committed to ensuring your experience with The Millennial Pause is safe, transparent, and informative.
