This policy explains what information GIFSEC (the website at https://gifsec.com) collects when you visit, how that information is used, and the choices you have. It is written in plain language and describes how the site generally works.
Who we are
Our website address is https://gifsec.com. GIFSEC is a website that publishes collections of animated GIFs organized by mood, occasion, and theme.
The organization responsible for this website is SUBSITE SRL. You can reach us about this policy using the contact details in the “Privacy requests and contact” section below.
Information we collect
The amount of information collected depends on how you use the site. Most visitors simply browse pages, and browsing does not require you to give us any personal details.
Information you send us
If you email us at the address published on our Contact page, we receive your email address, your message, and anything else you choose to include. We use this only to read and respond to your message.
Comments (where comments are enabled)
Where comments are enabled on a page or post, WordPress collects the information shown in the comment form when you submit a comment, and may also record your IP address and browser user-agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it, so a profile picture can be shown next to your comment. The Gravatar service is operated by Automattic; its privacy policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Comments may be screened through an automated spam-detection service (the Akismet plugin is present on this site). If your comment is approved, your comment and profile picture become publicly visible.
Server logs and technical data
Like most websites, the servers that deliver GIFSEC may automatically record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the date and time of the request. This is typical web-server behavior used to operate and secure the site. We have not independently verified the exact logging, hosting, and content-delivery arrangements for this site; those details are still to be confirmed.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. GIFSEC uses the standard cookies that the WordPress software sets, and may load third-party services that set their own cookies.
WordPress cookies
If you leave a comment on the site (where comments are enabled), you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to re-enter them next time; these last up to one year. Additional temporary cookies are used only if you log in to the site, and log-in cookies apply only to site administrators, not ordinary visitors.
Performance and caching
The site uses caching software (WP Rocket) to load pages faster. Caching may store static copies of pages and can set technical cookies related to page delivery.
Advertising and analytics cookies
If advertising or analytics services are active on the site (see the sections below), those services may set their own cookies to measure traffic or to select and measure ads. Details depend on which services are in use.
Analytics
GIFSEC uses Google Analytics for Third Party Analytics you can find their privacy policy here.
Advertising
GIFSEC shows third-party advertising from Adsterra, you can see their privacy policy here.
Affiliate links
Some pages on GIFSEC may include affiliate links to third-party retailers or tools. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those third-party websites are operated by other companies and have their own privacy policies; this policy does not cover them. See our Affiliate Disclosure page for more detail.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves as though you had visited the other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, set their own cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be handled by the service providers that make the site work — for example, our hosting provider, our caching/content-delivery service, our email provider, and any advertising or analytics services that are active. Each provider handles data under its own terms. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Privacy requests and contact
If you have a question about this policy, or you want to ask about the information associated with you, email us at mail (at) gifsec dot com. Please describe your request clearly so we can respond.
We will handle privacy requests reasonably and in line with any laws that apply to us. This policy does not make any specific legal-compliance claim, and it does not designate a formal data controller; those determinations depend on facts the site owner and their advisers need to confirm.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date below and post the revised version on this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the site.
