Privacy Policy

Globlar Privacy Policy

Your data, in plain words.

This page explains what personal data Globlar collects when you read, comment or contact us, who it may be shared with, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Comment details, messages you send through our contact form, and basic technical data such as your IP address and browser type.

Who may receive it

Our spam filter, our form delivery service, advertising partners and any sites whose content appears in our articles.

What you can do

Ask to see, export or erase your data by emailing us.

1Who we are

Globlar OÜ publishes the website https://globlar.com. We are based in Harjumaa, Tallinn, Estonia, and we are responsible for the personal data described in this policy.

You can reach us at 1.majidishfaq@gmail.com or through our contact page.

2Comments

When visitors leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. We use these to help detect spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. You can read the Gravatar service’s privacy policy at automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public next to it.

3Contact form

If you send us a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject and message. We use them only to read and reply to your message.

The form is processed by the FormSubmit service, which forwards each message to our email inbox.

4Cookies

Cookies are small files that a website saves in your browser. Here are the ones our site may set.

Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies, so you do not have to fill them in again next time. These cookies last for one year.
Login page cookie: If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Login cookies: When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login lasts for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Editing cookie: If you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data. It only holds the ID of the post you just edited and expires after one day.
Advertising cookies: Ads and affiliate partners may set their own cookies. See the next section.

5Advertising and affiliate links

Our pages may show ads, including ads served through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your earlier visits to this and other websites. You can manage personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings.

Some links on Globlar are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy something or sign up, we may earn a commission. The partner’s website may set its own cookies, and its privacy policy applies there. Our editorial policy explains how we label sponsored and affiliate content.

6Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images or other articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website.

Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, add their own third-party tracking and monitor how you interact with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

7Media uploads

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download images from it and extract any location data they contain.

8Who we share your data with

Your data may reach the following services, for the reasons shown.

Spam detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Gravatar: An anonymised string created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar when you comment.
FormSubmit: Receives messages sent through our contact form and forwards them to our inbox.
Advertising partners: Where ads are shown, Google and its partners may receive data through cookies.
Embedded content providers: Websites whose content is embedded in our articles may collect data when you view it.
Password resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

9How long we keep your data

How long we keep data depends on what it is.

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This lets us recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
User accounts: For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they give in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Contact messages: Messages sent through the contact form stay in our email inbox for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry.

10Your rights

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can ask for an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you have given us. You can also ask us to erase the personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal or security reasons.

If you are in the European Economic Area, you may also have the right to correct your data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to complain to your local data protection authority. In Estonia, that is the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon).
