Our Identity

Our platform operates at: https://pcsx2bios.pro/.

User Comments

When users submit comments, we gather information displayed in the comment form, along with IP addresses and browser details for spam prevention purposes. A hashed version of your email may be sent to Gravatar to check for profile images. Gravatar’s privacy terms can be found at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment receives approval, your profile image becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.

Image Uploads

When uploading pictures to our platform, avoid including files with embedded GPS data (EXIF). Site visitors can potentially download and access any location information stored within uploaded images.

Cookie Usage

Commenting users may choose to store their name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, eliminating the need to re-enter information for future comments. These cookies remain active for one year. Our login page sets a temporary cookie to verify browser cookie acceptance. This contains no personal information and disappears when you close your browser. Upon logging in, multiple cookies preserve your login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies persist for two days, while screen preference cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login duration to two weeks. Logout removes all login cookies. Publishing or editing content creates an additional cookie storing only the post ID of your edited article, expiring after one day.

Third-Party Embedded Content

Our articles may contain embedded materials (videos, images, articles) from external sites. This embedded content functions identically to direct visits to those external platforms. These external sites may collect your data, utilize cookies, implement third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with embedded content, particularly if you maintain accounts on those platforms.

Data Sharing Practices

Password reset requests include your IP address in the reset email communication.

Data Retention Policies

Comments and associated metadata remain stored indefinitely, enabling automatic approval of future comments without moderation delays. Registered users’ personal profile information is stored permanently. Users can view, modify, or delete their personal details anytime (excluding username changes). Site administrators maintain access to view and edit this information.

Your Data Rights

Account holders and commenters can request an exported file containing all personal data we maintain, including information you’ve provided. You may also request deletion of personal data we store about you, excluding information required for administrative, legal, or security compliance.

Data Transmission

User comments undergo processing through automated spam detection services.
