Effective Date: March 4, 2026

At Gaskiya Cast, accessible from https://gaskiyacast.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Gaskiya Cast and how we use it.

1. Who We Are

Gaskiya Cast is a dedicated news and media platform. Our website address is: https://gaskiyacast.com. For inquiries regarding your data, you may contact us through our official contact page.

2. Information Collection and Use

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are a user of that service. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Other visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the site.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our platform:

  • User Convenience: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These last for one year so you don’t have to re-enter your details.
  • Authentication: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Session Management: When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
  • Editorial Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie simply indicates the Post ID of the article you just edited and expires after 24 hours.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Gaskiya Cast may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, social media posts, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These third-party websites may:

  • Collect data about you.
  • Use their own cookies.
  • Embed additional third-party tracking.
  • Monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.

5. Data Sharing and Retention

  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • User Accounts: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators also have access to this information.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on Gaskiya Cast or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Data Security

Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service. We implement standard security measures to protect your information, but please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
