Who we are

Our website address is: https://asntimes.com. ASNTIMES is a digital publication that shares news, insights, and articles on trending topics around the world. We value the privacy of our visitors and aim to provide a transparent, safe experience while browsing our site.

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to ASNTIMES, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted online.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details the next time you leave a comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be set up to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. When you log out, login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on ASNTIMES may include embedded content (like videos, images, or articles) from other websites. Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content — especially if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on ASNTIMES (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
