Who We Are

Keys2TheWeb operates the website https://keys2theweb.com (“Website”). We specialize in online reputation management and local SEO services. Your privacy is important to us, and this policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our Website, we collect the data provided in the comments form, including:

• Visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string (to help with spam detection).
• An anonymized string (or hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
• Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible within the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the Website, you should avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS) in them. Visitors to the Website may download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

Our Website uses cookies to improve user experience.

• Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
• Login Cookies:
  • A temporary cookie is set on the login page to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year.
  • If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
  • If you log out, login cookies are removed.
• Editing/Publishing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our Website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves the same as if you had visited the other website directly.

These third-party websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—including tracking if you are logged into their website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
• If you register an account, we store the personal information in your user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their data at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request:

• An exported file of your personal data stored on our Website.
• Deletion of your personal data (excluding data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons).

To request access, modification, or deletion of your personal data, contact us at [Insert Contact Email].

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be analyzed through an automated spam detection service.

By using our Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, so please review it periodically.
