Information We Collect

We may collect various types of personal and non-personal information through direct user interaction, website usage data, and third-party services integrated into our platform.

1. Comments and Engagement

When visitors choose to leave comments on any article or content section of our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, including name, email address, and the comment text. Additionally, we automatically collect the commenter’s IP address and browser user agent string to support spam detection and ensure platform integrity.
To enable personalized comment displays, an anonymized hash of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if a profile picture exists. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once a comment is approved, your Gravatar image, if available, may become publicly visible in association with your comment.

2. Media Uploads

If you upload images or other media content to our platform (via contact forms or comments), we strongly advise that you avoid embedding location metadata (EXIF GPS) within the files. Such data can potentially be extracted by other visitors and misused.

4. Embedded Third-Party Content

Articles and posts may feature embedded content such as videos, social media posts, charts, or images from external websites (e.g., YouTube, X/Twitter, LinkedIn). When you interact with such content, these external websites may collect data, deploy cookies, or engage in third-party tracking mechanisms, treating your interaction as if you had directly visited their platform.
Please be aware that these websites operate under their own privacy policies and Daily Tech Digest does not control their practices.

These mechanisms rely on external services, including reCAPTCHA or similar tools, to assess the likelihood of spam and reduce malicious activity.

Pagination, Preloading, and UX Enhancements

To deliver a seamless and intuitive reading experience, our website may use content preloading and pagination techniques. Depending on your browsing behavior or device, you may encounter:

• Manual Pagination: Posts are segmented with “Next” or “Load More” buttons for manual progression.

These features are designed to optimize navigation while respecting user control and data limits.
