Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information submitted in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized hash generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image (if linked to Gravatar) becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to hawistudios.com, avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from publicly shared images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not need to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies will remain 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 removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to store your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and display settings cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie stores the ID of the post you just edited and contains no personal information. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on HAWI Studios may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor how you interact with the embedded content—especially if you are logged in to that third-party service.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize follow-up comments and approve them automatically instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can review, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators may also view and edit this information.

You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
