Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Stand Out With Video (https://standvid.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

1. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.

  • An anonymized string (or hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) will be visible to the public along with your comment.

2. Media

If you upload images to our website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from these images if included.

3. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device to remember your preferences.

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in 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 will remain for one year.
  • Login Cookies:
    • When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
    • When you log in, additional cookies will be set to save your login details and screen preferences.
      • Login cookies: Last for two days.
      • Screen options cookies: Last for one year.
      • If you select “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks.
    • When you log out, login cookies will be removed.
  • Publishing Cookies: If you edit or publish a post, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires in one day.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same way as if you visited the external website directly.

These external websites may:

  • Collect data about you.
  • Use cookies and third-party tracking.
  • Monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your activity if you are logged in to that website.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless necessary for service-related purposes or if required by law. For example:

  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to verify the request.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: 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 moderation.
  • User Accounts: For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data (except their username) at any time. Website administrators can also access and manage this data.

7. Your Data Rights

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the following rights:

  • Data Access: You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided.
  • Data Deletion: You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. Please note, we may retain certain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

8. Where Your Data is Sent

  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the security of our platform.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and if significant changes are made, we may notify you by email or through a notification on our website.
