At Definebly, we respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when using https://definebly.com.
By visiting or using this website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://definebly.com
Definebly is an English language website that publishes content related to word meanings, slang meanings, idioms and expressions, abbreviations and acronyms, grammar and usage, commonly confused words, and spelling choice.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we may collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam and protect the website.
An anonymized string created from your email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may become visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, including EXIF GPS data. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.
Cookies
Definebly may use cookies to improve website functionality, remember user preferences, support login sessions, and enhance the overall browsing experience.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies may remain for up to one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we may also set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies may last for two days, and screen preference cookies may last for one year. If you select Remember Me, your login may remain active for up to two weeks. If you log out, login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only identifies the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, social posts, or other media. Embedded content from external websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, apply additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content, especially if you have an account with that service and are logged in at the time.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal information.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
We may also use trusted third-party services for website operations, spam detection, analytics, security, hosting, or technical functionality where necessary.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation each time.
If users register on the website, if registration is available, we may store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Registered users can usually view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also view and edit that information when necessary for site management.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided directly.
You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, security, or recordkeeping purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Some technical or operational data may also be processed through trusted third-party services that support website hosting, performance, security, and spam prevention.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information collected through the website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
Definebly may contain links to third-party websites for reference, convenience, or additional information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those external websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit.
Children’s Privacy
Definebly is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been submitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
