Who we are

Our website address is: https://mahendragaikwad.com.

This website is operated by Mahendra Gaikwad, an educator and digital content creator providing educational resources, articles, learning materials, and related services for students, teachers, and institutions.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here:
https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will 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 will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. 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 of your account, 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

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, articles, or interactive learning material). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These external websites may:

Collect data about you
Use cookies
Embed additional third-party tracking
Monitor your interaction with that embedded content

This may include tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that external website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Some data may also be processed by trusted third-party services used to operate the website (for example hosting providers, spam detection services, analytics services, or learning platforms), only to the extent necessary for website functionality and security.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information provided in their user profile.

All users can:

See their personal information
Edit their personal information
Delete their personal information at any time

(Except they cannot change their username.)

Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request:

An exported file of the personal data we hold about you
That we erase any personal data we hold about you

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Requests may be sent through the contact details provided on the website.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to protect the website from spam and abuse.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, you may contact the website owner through the contact page on the website.
