Revolyx (https://www.revolyxbd.com) Effective Date: June 11, 2026
1. Introduction
At Revolyx, we deeply value your privacy and are fully committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, utilize, manage, and protect your data when you visit and interact with our website.
2. Information We Collect
- Comments & Spam Detection: When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, alongside the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is strictly used to assist with automated spam detection.
- Profile Avatars (Gravatar): An anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
- Media Uploads: If you upload images to the website, we strongly advise against uploading files that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can easily download and extract this precise location data from images hosted on the site.
3. Cookie Policy
We utilize cookies to streamline and enhance your browsing experience:
- Convenience Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
- Session & Login Cookies: Visiting our login page triggers a temporary, non-personal cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. Upon logging in, we establish several cookies to save your login credentials and screen display preferences. Standard login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login persistence to two weeks.
- Publishing Cookies: If you hold administrative or publishing rights and edit an article, a temporary cookie containing no personal data will be saved. It simply indicates the post ID of the article and expires after 24 hours.
4. Embedded Content from Third Parties
Articles on Revolyx may occasionally feature embedded content (such as videos, images, or external articles). This embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the external hosting website directly. Please be aware that these third-party websites may collect data about you, utilize their own cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and closely monitor your interaction with that content—especially if you have an active account and are logged into their platform.
5. Data Sharing and Retention
- Data Sharing: We respect your privacy and strictly limit how your data is shared. However, for security purposes, if you request a password reset, your IP address will automatically be included in the reset email. Additionally, visitor comments may be routed through an automated spam detection service.
- Retention Periods: Comments and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows our system to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue. For registered users, we securely store the personal information provided in their user profiles.
6. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have a registered account on Revolyx or have previously left comments, you retain control over your personal data:
- Data Access & Exports: You may request to receive an exported file containing all the personal data we currently hold about you, including any data you have directly provided to us.
- Data Erasure: You have the right to request the complete deletion of your personal data.
- Profile Management: All registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal profile information at any time (with the single exception that usernames cannot be changed). Website administrators also have the authority to view and edit this information.
- Note: The right to erasure does not include any data we are administratively, legally, or securely obligated to retain for business record-keeping purposes.
