Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://renderfirst.com.

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from the commenter’s email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if it is in use. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of a comment, the profile picture is visible to the public in the context of the comment.

Media

If images are uploaded to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If a comment is left on the site, there is an option to save the name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for convenience so details do not need to be filled in again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If the login page is visited, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if the browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.

When logging in, several cookies will be set to save login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, the login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out of an account, the login cookies will be removed.

If an article is edited or published, an additional cookie will be saved in the browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking, and monitor interaction with that embedded content, including tracking interaction if an account is present and the visitor is logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If a password reset is requested, the requester’s IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If a comment is left, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps recognize and approve any follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on the website (if any), the personal information provided in their user profile is stored. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except the username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If an account exists on this site, or comments have been left, it is possible to request an exported file of the personal data held, including any data provided. It is also possible to request that any personal data be erased. This does not include any data that must be kept for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
