Who We Are
Our website address is http://jointelegroup.com, and we are committed to connecting users with publicly available WhatsApp and Telegram groups. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected by JoinTeleGroup.com and how it is used.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on JoinTeleGroup.com, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon comment approval, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you choose to upload images to JoinTeleGroup.com, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) within the images. Visitors to our website can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
Cookies
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year, allowing you to leave additional comments without re-entering your details.
- Login Cookies: When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser. After logging in, multiple cookies save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. By selecting “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, login cookies are removed.
- Editing and Publishing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie, which contains no personal data, identifies the post ID of the article you edited and expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Content on JoinTeleGroup.com may include embedded items (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially 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 for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than placing them in a moderation queue.
- User Profiles: For registered users, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators also have access to and can edit this information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on JoinTeleGroup.com or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. Additionally, you may request that we delete any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to protect the integrity of our platform.
