Privacy Policy

    At Lyseis Design, we value your privacy and take every step to keep your personal information safe. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your data when you interact with our website.


    What Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It

    Comments

    When you leave a comment, we collect your name, email, and website details for communication purposes. We also record your IP address and browser information to prevent spam effectively. After approval, your comment and profile picture appear publicly on our website. Because we respect your privacy, we never use this information for any other purpose.

    Media

    If you upload images, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Otherwise, visitors could download and extract that data. Therefore, we encourage you to share only non-location-based images for your safety.

    Cookies

    When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This option helps you post future comments conveniently without re-entering your details. These cookies stay active for one year.
    If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies and disappears once you close your browser. After logging in, we store cookies that save your login status and display settings. Login cookies last two days, and display preferences last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login continues for two weeks. When you log out, the system automatically removes your login cookies.
    When you publish or edit an article, an additional cookie records the post ID of your latest edit and expires within a day.

    Embedded Content From Other Websites

    Articles on our website may include embedded media such as images, videos, or other external posts. Such content behaves exactly as if you visited the source website directly. These websites may collect your data, use cookies, or track your interactions. Therefore, we advise reviewing their privacy policies whenever you engage with their content.


    Who We Share Your Data With

    If you request a password reset, the system includes your IP address in the reset email for verification. This simple step helps ensure security and prevents unauthorized access.


    How Long We Retain Your Data

    We store comments and related metadata indefinitely to recognize future interactions automatically. This process saves time and avoids manual approval for every comment.
    For registered users, we store the personal information entered in their profiles. You can view, update, or delete your details anytime, except for your username. Administrators can also manage and update user information when needed to maintain account accuracy.


    Your Rights

    You have the right to request an exported file containing all personal data we hold about you. You may also ask us to delete your information, except for data retained for legal, administrative, or security reasons. Because we value transparency, we process such requests promptly and ensure your privacy rights remain protected.


    Where Your Data Is Sent

    We use automated spam detection tools to check all visitor comments. This practice strengthens website security and keeps your online experience safe and pleasant.
