Who we are
Our website address is: https://thingstodraw.today. This site is created to provide daily drawing ideas, inspiration, and related resources.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information provided in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract location data from images published on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are provided for your convenience, so you do not need to re-enter your details when posting another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we use a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted once you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while display preference cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal information and simply records 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, or external articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor had accessed that website directly.
These external websites may collect information, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content — especially if you are logged into an account on that site.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except the username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also access and modify this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
