Who We Are

Welcome to Measurements.in, your go-to resource for all things related to knitting and crocheting. Our website address is: https://measurements.in. We are committed to providing a secure and user-friendly environment for our visitors, and this document outlines how we handle your data.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form. Additionally, we gather the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.

Gravatar Service

If you choose to use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to Gravatar to check if you’re using it. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment. For more details, you can review the Gravatar service privacy policy.

Media

If you upload images to our website, please ensure that the images do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to our website can download and extract any location data from the images you upload. For your privacy, we recommend removing any such data before uploading images.

Cookies

Comment Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you can opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is designed for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

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 any personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we also set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Upon logging out, the login cookies will be removed.

Editing and Publishing Cookies

If you edit or publish an article on our site, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It will expire after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you were visiting the other website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction 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. We do not share your personal data with third parties for any other purposes unless required by law.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What Rights You Have 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, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure a safe and secure browsing experience for all users.
