Privacy & Data Use at Genelevation™

Website: https://genelevation.com

At Genelevation™, your growth and privacy matter. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect the information you share with us while engaging with our content and community.

1. Comments & Interaction

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect:

  • Your name, email, and website (from the comment form)
  • IP address and browser info (for spam protection)

We may send an anonymized version of your email to Gravatar to display your profile picture. You can learn more at Gravatar’s privacy policy.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may appear publicly alongside your comment.

2. Media & Images

If you upload images to our site, please avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors could potentially extract that information.

3. Cookies & Convenience

Cookies help make your experience smooth and personalized:

  • Save your comment info for convenience — lasts 1 year
  • Temporary login cookies — discarded when you close the browser
  • Login persistence — 2 days, or 2 weeks if “Remember Me” is selected
  • Display preferences — 1 year
  • Post editing cookies — 1 day

4. Embedded Content

Sometimes we include content from other websites (videos, images, articles). These external sites behave as if you visited them directly and may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.

5. How We Share Your Data

  • If you request a password reset, your IP may be included
  • Comments may go through automated spam detection services

We don’t sell your data — we use it only to keep Genelevation™ safe, effective, and community-focused.

6. Data Retention

  • Comments and related metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-ups automatically
  • User accounts store profile info, which you can view, edit, or delete (except username). Admins may edit this info as needed

7. Your Rights

You can:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to delete your personal data (except what we must keep for legal or administrative purposes)

8. Why It Matters

Most people don’t grow because their environment isn’t structured. At Genelevation™, we apply the same principle to digital safety: your information is protected, structured, and only used to support your growth.
