Privacy Policy for The Brandon Post
Who We Are This website is The Brandon Post, functioning as a personal digital journal and travel log. The primary domain is TheBrandonPost.com.
Comments and User Accounts We welcome engagement from our readers. 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 see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public in the context of your comment. While commenting is active, we still do not offer public account registration, profile creation, or dashboards for users to log into.
Media and Location Data All posts and images on this site are published by the author sending an email to a secure, dedicated address. While there is a future roadmap to utilize metadata from Android photos for retroactive GPS integration, this feature is strictly on hold to ensure the author’s autonomy and privacy.
Embedded Content from Other Websites Future updates to this site will feature embedded media, specifically videos from the author’s YouTube playlists. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These external websites (such as YouTube/Google) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Cookies and Tracking If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. Because the site is otherwise stripped of public login portals and complex navigation, we do not deploy standard user-facing session, tracking, or login cookies beyond those required to facilitate the commenting system.
