Who We Are

Welcome to TechBullien.com! Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

1. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect:
✅ The data shown in the comments form

An anonymized hash from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy can be found here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible.

2. Media Uploads

If you upload images, avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can extract this information from your images.
