Privacy Policy

Website: https://isearchgo.com Last updated: July 21, 2026

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how https://isearchgo.com ("we," "us," "our," or "the Site") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit or interact with our website. By using this Site, you agree to the practices described below.

2. Comments

When you submit a comment on our Site, we collect the information you enter into the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This additional technical information is used solely to help us identify and filter out spam submissions.

To check whether you have a Gravatar account linked to your email address, we generate a one-way hash (an anonymized string) from your email and send it to the Gravatar service for verification. You can review Gravatar's own privacy practices at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Once we approve your comment, your name and Gravatar profile picture (if applicable) become publicly visible alongside your comment text.

3. Media Uploads

If images are uploaded to the Site (for example, by contributors or administrators), we recommend removing embedded location metadata (EXIF GPS data) before uploading. Any visitor to the Site is technically able to download images and extract any location data still embedded in them, so we encourage caution when publishing photos.

4. Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may choose to have your name, email address, and website URL saved in a cookie for your convenience on future visits. These cookies are optional and expire after one year.
Login-check cookie: When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to test whether your browser accepts cookies. It holds no personal data and is deleted as soon as you close your browser.
Authentication cookies: Once you log in, we set cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your screen display preferences. Standard login cookies expire after two days, and display-preference cookies last one year. Choosing "Remember Me" extends your login session to two weeks. Logging out removes your login cookies immediately.
Editing cookie: If you create or edit content on the Site, a short-lived cookie stores the post ID of the item you're working on. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain features of the Site.

5. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Pages and posts on this Site may include embedded content — such as videos, images, or articles — sourced from other websites. This embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the source website directly.

Those third-party sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor how you interact with their content — including your activity if you're logged into an account on that third-party site.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Data is shared only where necessary for the operation of the Site, including:

Password resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email for security verification purposes.
Service providers: As noted above, comment-related data may be checked against automated spam-detection services, and email hashes may be checked against the Gravatar service.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments: Comments and their associated metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments from returning visitors rather than routing them through moderation each time.
Registered users: If user accounts exist on this Site, the personal information stored in a user's profile is retained for as long as the account is active. Users can view, update, or delete their profile information at any time (with the exception of their username, which cannot be changed). Site administrators also have access to this information for account management purposes.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this Site, or have left comments, you have the right to:

Request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you've submitted to us.
Request that we delete the personal data we hold about you.

Please note that we may be legally required to retain certain data for administrative, legal, or security reasons, and such data would not be included in an erasure request.

To make either of these requests, please contact us using the details below.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Comments submitted through the Site may be automatically screened by a third-party spam-detection service before publication. No other personal data collected through this Site is routinely transferred outside of the services described in this policy.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
