Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At Niurock, protecting your personal information is something we take seriously. This policy explains clearly and honestly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it’s used — no legal jargon, no surprises.
Our website: niurock.com
1. Information We Collect
When you leave a comment: We collect the information you enter in the comment form (name, email, message), along with your IP address and browser details. These are used solely for spam prevention and comment moderation — not for marketing or profiling.
Your email address may be converted into an anonymized hash and shared with Gravatar to display your profile picture if you use the service. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside it.
When you upload images: If you upload images to our site, please be aware that image files can contain embedded location metadata (EXIF/GPS data). We recommend removing this data before uploading, as it may be visible to other visitors who download those images.
2. Cookies
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience. Here’s exactly what gets set and when:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Comment preference | Saves your name, email, and site so you don’t have to re-enter them | 1 year |
| Browser check | Temporary test to confirm your browser accepts cookies — contains no personal data | Session only |
| Login session | Keeps you logged in securely | 2 days (or 2 weeks with “Remember Me”) |
| Display preferences | Remembers your screen/layout choices | 1 year |
| Post edit indicator | Notes which article you last edited — no personal data | 1 day |
You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain site functionality.
3. Embedded Content
Some pages on our site may include embedded content from third-party platforms (such as videos or interactive widgets). This content behaves as if you visited those platforms directly — meaning they may set their own cookies, collect usage data, or track interactions, particularly if you’re logged into those services.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party platforms whose content you interact with.
4. How We Share Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. The only instances where your data is shared externally are:
- Spam detection: Comments are screened through an automated spam filtering service
- Gravatar: An anonymized email hash may be sent to verify profile picture preferences
- Password resets: Your IP address is included in reset emails as a security measure
5. How Long We Keep Your Data
Comments: Comment content and associated metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline moderation of future interactions from the same user.
Account data: If you register on our site, your profile information is stored for as long as your account is active. You can view, update, or delete your personal information at any time from your account settings — the only exception being your username, which cannot be changed once set.
6. Your Rights
You have full control over your personal data. At any time, you may:
- Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you
- Request deletion of your personal data from our systems
- Update or correct your information via your account profile
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@niurock.com. We’ll respond within 5 business days.
Please note: some data may be retained where we are legally required to do so for administrative, security, or compliance purposes.
7. Data Security
All data transmitted through our website is encrypted. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our smart lock platform is built with security-first principles — and our website is no different.
