1. Who We Are

Our website address is https://www.pybeginners.com.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

2.1 Comments

When visitors leave comments on our 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 (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

2.2 Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

2.3 Contact Forms & Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you log in, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences:

  • Login cookies last for two days.

  • Screen option cookies last for one year.

  • Selecting "Remember Me" extends your login session to two weeks.

  • Logging out removes login cookies.

  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved, expiring after one day.

2.4 Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves as if the visitor is on the original website.

These websites may:

  • Collect data about you.

  • Use cookies.

  • Embed third-party tracking.

  • Monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you are logged into the original website.

2.5 Analytics – How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-ups automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For registered users, we store personal information in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

3. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

4. Where We Send Your Data

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

5. Compliance With Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act

Protecting children's privacy is crucial. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from anyone under 13, and our website is not designed to attract children under 13.

6. Your Acceptance of These Terms

By using this site, you agree to this policy and our terms of service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Continuing to use the site after changes to this policy means you accept those changes.
