Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.explainfact.com.
This website provides informational content across various topics including technology, guides, lifestyle, and general knowledge.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent information. This data helps us detect and prevent spam or abusive activity.
To determine whether a user has a Gravatar profile, an anonymized string (hash) generated from the email address may be sent to the Gravatar service. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here:

After a comment is approved, the user’s profile image (if connected with Gravatar) may appear publicly next to the comment.
Media
If you upload images to this website, we recommend removing embedded location data (EXIF GPS) from those images. Visitors to the site may download images and potentially extract location information contained in the files.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are stored for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when posting another comment. These cookies remain active for up to one year.
When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie may be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal information and is automatically deleted once the browser is closed.
When you log into your account, several cookies may be set to save your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies generally remain active for two days, while display preference cookies can last for up to one year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login session may remain active for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the ID of the article being edited. It expires after 24 hours.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Some articles on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or external articles. Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited that external site directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, apply additional tracking technologies, and monitor interactions with the embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged into that external website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment on our site, both the comment and its metadata may be stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically without placing them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, update, or delete their personal data at any time (except the username). Website administrators also have access to view and manage that information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:
- an exported file of the personal data we store about you
- the deletion of any personal data associated with you
Please note that certain data may be retained when required for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services to ensure the security and integrity of the website.
