Welcome to the Privacy Policy of Gyen Jagat, accessible at https://gyenjagat.com. This document outlines the procedures and principles governing the collection, usage, and protection of user data on our platform. It is crucial for us to ensure transparency and trust in how your personal information is handled.

Introduction
In the age of digital interaction, safeguarding user privacy is paramount. At Gyen Jagat, we are committed to providing a secure and transparent environment for our users. This Privacy Policy serves as a guide to understand how your information is managed when you engage with our website. We appreciate the trust you place in us and assure you that your privacy is our priority.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect specific data to enhance user engagement and maintain the integrity of our platform. The information gathered includes the data submitted in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string, which aids in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string generated from the user’s email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check for an associated profile picture. Once a comment is approved, the Gravatar profile picture becomes visible in the context of the comment.
This approach not only fosters a sense of community but also allows for a personalized user experience. It is important to note that users have the option to keep their email address private by utilizing a Gravatar account.
Media
The uploading of images to our website is a common feature, and we advise users to be mindful of the potential inclusion of location data (EXIF GPS) in these images. This precautionary measure is implemented to protect user privacy, ensuring that visitors who download or extract images from the website do not access embedded location information.
