Who we are
Our website address is: https://crunchystudio.cc. The website is currently run by me (Zhengli Wang), as an individual. Contact information can be found on this page.
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 spam detection.
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.
The Akismet Anti-Spam service (referred to as Akismet in the following) by Automattic collects information about visitors who comment on our site for automated spam protection. The information that are sent to Akismet include the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself). Akismet’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy-notice/.

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 interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Statistics
To bring you a better experience, we use a statistics system on our site. During your visit, we may collect the following data:
- Pages Viewed: This helps us analyze site usage statistics and understand user behavior.
- Browser user agent: we’ll use this for purposes like creating charts of views, most used browsers, etc.
- An anonymized string created from your IP address, For example, 888.888.888.888 > 888.888.888.000).
- An hashed string created from your IP address.
This data is not shared with third parties, and will remain locally in our data storage locations.
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 (if any), 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.
