Who We Are

Hi there! Welcome to Alternativeli.com, your go-to platform for exploring alternative tech products, tools, and services. We’re all about helping you discover innovative solutions while respecting your privacy. If you ever need to reach out, just visit us at alternativeli.com.

Comments

We love hearing from you! When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the details you share in the comments form along with your IP address and browser user agent. This helps us keep spam in check.

If you use Gravatar for your profile picture, an anonymized version of your email (a “hash”) may be sent to them to see if your Gravatar is active. Their privacy policy is here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will appear alongside it on the site.

Media

Planning to upload images? A quick tip: avoid including location data (like EXIF GPS) in your images. This is because visitors can download your images and extract that information. Let’s keep it simple and secure.

Cookies

We use cookies to make your experience on Alternativeli.com seamless. Here’s how:

  • Leaving a comment? You can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. That way, you won’t need to re-enter your details the next time. These cookies last for one year.
  • Logging in? We set temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts them. Once you log in, additional cookies save your login info and screen preferences:
    • Login cookies last 2 days (or 2 weeks if you select “Remember Me”).
    • Screen preference cookies last a year.
  • Editing or publishing an article? A cookie will save the post ID of your edited article for 24 hours. It doesn’t store any personal data.

Embedded Content

Some of our articles may include embedded content like videos, images, or other media from third-party websites. When you interact with embedded content, it behaves just as if you visited the original website. These external sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your activity—especially if you’re logged into their accounts. Be mindful of their policies.

Who We Share Your Data With

We value your privacy and don’t share your data unnecessarily. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. This is to ensure security.

How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Comments: Your comments and metadata are retained indefinitely. This lets us automatically approve follow-up comments instead of moderating them manually.
  • User Accounts: If you register on our site, your profile information is stored securely. You can view, edit, or delete your details anytime—except for your username. Administrators also have access to manage this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You’re in control of your data! If you have an account or have left comments, you can:

  • Request an export of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to delete any personal data, except for what we’re required to keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Just drop us a message, and we’ll take care of it.

Where Your Data Goes

To keep Alternativeli.com spam-free, visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Rest assured, we prioritize your privacy every step of the way.

We’re committed to protecting your information and making your experience on Alternativeli.com enjoyable and secure. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, feel free to contact us. Happy exploring! 🚀
