Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, 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 (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
The Spiritual Deep does not collect or store any information directly from your visit to our site. Any data collected is performed by third-party plugins or programs necessary to operate the site. We do not send unsolicited emails, nor do we share any information that may be gathered through interactions with our site. Our commitment is to offer content with honesty and integrity, without exploiting or misusing any personal data.

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within the file. Visitors to the website could potentially download and extract any location data from images uploaded to the site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on The Spiritual Deep may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the external website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email sent to you.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also see 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 to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obligated to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the integrity and security of our platform.
