Welcome to the Harfoo Grants Privacy Policy page. We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring your information is protected. This document outlines the types of data we collect, how it is used, and your rights.
Who We Are
Our website address is http://grants.harfoo.com. This Privacy Policy describes our practices for handling information collected from users.
Information We Collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps in spam detection.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email (also called a hash) may be shared with Gravatar to see if you have a profile. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval, your profile picture may be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors can download and extract this data from images on the site.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies to improve user experience, remember preferences, and serve relevant ads. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow us and third-party partners to collect data about your activity on our site.
Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display personalized ads on our site. Google may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about user behavior for targeted advertising.

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies, which are retained for one year to make it convenient for future comments.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you have visited that other website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged in to their website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your data except as necessary for site functionality. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to ensure security.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except for changing usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We also use Google AdSense to serve ads, which may collect data as described in the Advertising Cookies section.
