Privacy Policy for Speak Connected
Who We Are
At Speak Connected, we are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of our users. Our website, www.speakconnected.com, adheres to a robust privacy policy that outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. This commitment reflects our dedication to creating a safe and secure online environment for spiritual growth and enlightenment.
Comments
As part of our commitment to transparency, the privacy policy on our website outlines that when you leave comments, we collect specific data. This data includes the information provided in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string, all of which aid in spam detection. We may also create an anonymized string (hash) from your email address, which could be provided to the Gravatar service. Upon approval, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in context with your comment. We take these measures to ensure a safe, spam-free environment for our users.
Media Privacy Policy
If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on our website.
Cookies Privacy Policy
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. When you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
As outlined in our privacy policy, our site may feature embedded content from other websites, which can include, but is not limited to, videos, images, and articles. Additionally, the privacy policy explains that these third-party websites may collect data about you, utilize cookies, incorporate additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Moreover, this is a common practice as noted on sites like WordPress.org and gdpr.eu. They clearly explain that embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly (sources: WordPress.org, gdpr.eu).
Furthermore, our privacy policy clarifies that these third-party websites have their own privacy policies. Consequently, we strongly recommend reviewing these policies to understand how they handle your data. In fact, according to advice from Reddit, it’s sometimes best to avoid embedding third-party content and instead link off to their external websites (source: Reddit).
Our privacy policy aims to transparently communicate how we handle embedded content from other websites and the potential data collection that may occur when you interact with such content.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Please remember that this privacy policy is subject to change and it’s always best to review it regularly for any updates.
