At PinballHive.com, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://pinballhive.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) becomes visible to the public.

Media

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

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience:

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year.

  • Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies (no personal data included).

  • When you log in, several cookies store your login info and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen preference cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login to two weeks.

  • Editing or publishing an article will store an additional cookie that indicates the post ID of the edited content. It expires in one day.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). This content behaves the same as if you visited the source website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content — especially if you’re logged into their site.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely so we can automatically recognize and approve follow-ups.

  • For registered users (if any), we store the personal data you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your data anytime (except your username). Admins can also see and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an export of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any data we hold, except for data we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
