As web enthusiasts ourselves, we understand the importance of privacy. Data security is becoming a more important issue. Keeping your identity and personal information safe while you browse our website is a priority. We strive to create an online environment that preserves your privacy and security. We do not share your email address or personal info with anyone else. Please read our privacy policy carefully.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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 detect spam.
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. We encourage the use of usernames and profile pictures that do not reveal your identity.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Other Webtoonia visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Log files
We use log files to help us understand our visitors’ preferences so we can better serve them. The following are included in this category:
Internet Protocol addresses (IP)
Types of browser
Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Referring and exit pages

All of this information is not linked to anything that is personally identifiable.
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 choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a 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 (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interactions with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Google Adsense
Google Adsense, a third-party advertising network, uses cookies to help make sure we get a commission when you buy a product after clicking on a link or ad banner that takes you to the site of one of their merchants. You can read more about Google Adsense Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics tool we use to help understand how visitors engage with Webtoonia. It reports website trends using cookies and web beacons without identifying individual visitors. You can read more about Google Analytics Privacy Policy.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or 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 to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request 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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Affiliate Disclosure
We’re an affiliate with CJ and a publisher in the Google Adsense program so you may see some advertisements on Webtoonia and some of the links in our articles are affiliate links, which means we’ll collect a small percentage of the sale as commission.
The reason that these are in place is because the small commissions add up and help support the costs to run the site without being overly intrusive to our audience’s experience on the site.
These commissions will never come at a cost to yourself and we vow to never let them influence our recommendations. You can read more about our Code of Ethics. Thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy our site!
