Last Updated: 3/30/2025
At Spotlight X, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://thespotlightx.online
We’re an independent commentary and news site focused on trending topics on X (formerly Twitter).
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email may be sent to their service to check if you use it. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images, we recommend removing any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) before doing so. Visitors can download and extract such data from public images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your info next time. These cookies last for one year.
Other cookies may be used for login sessions, article editing, or user preferences. These are standard WordPress cookies and do not include personal data.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images, tweets, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those sites directly. They may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction.
We are not responsible for third-party content or their data practices.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal information. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely unless you request deletion. Registered users (if any) can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time.
Your Data Rights
If you’ve left comments or signed up through our forms, you may request an export of your data or ask us to delete it. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
