Privacy Policy Overview
Welcome to our Privacy Policy page at American Profession Guide. Here, we prioritize your privacy and detail how we handle your data.
Comments and Data Collection
Whenever you leave comments, we collect data from the form and use your IP and browser details to combat spam.
Using Gravatar
Creating an anonymized email string (hash) may link it to Gravatar to check if you’re a user. Gravatar’s privacy policy (https://automattic.com/privacy/) explains more. Once we approve your comment, your Gravatar profile picture becomes public with your comment.
Uploading Media Safely
Uploading images? Avoid those with embedded GPS (EXIF GPS) data. Visitors could extract location data from such images.
Cookies for Convenience
Leaving a comment lets you opt-in to save your details in cookies, sparing you from re-entering information for future comments.

Data Retention Practices
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely for recognizing and auto-approving follow-up comments. This prevents them going to the moderation queue.
