Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 26, 2026

At Ly Hoang Thien IT Portfolio, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal privacy. This privacy policy describes the types of information we collect, how we process it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect and Why

A. Comments and Contact Forms

When visitors leave comments or send messages through the Contact Form, we collect:

The data entered in the information fields (Name, Email, Website, and Message Content).
The browser’s IP address and User Agent string to assist with automated spam detection and prevention.

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. You can check the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

B. Media Files

If you upload images to the website (for example, in the comments section or support tickets), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on this website.

C. Cookies

Comments: 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.
Sessions & Security: 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.

D. 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 directly.

These third-party 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 their platform.

2. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third parties.
Security & Optimization: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

3. How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments: 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.
Contact Requests: Information submitted through the contact form is retained for customer service purposes but will not be used for systematic marketing campaigns without your explicit consent.

4. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, have submitted forms, or have left comments, you have the right to:

Request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

Note: This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or system security purposes.

5. Data Security Measures

With a core focus on designing high-security and high-performance systems, we implement industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to protect data transmission. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic self-hosted storage, can guarantee absolute 100% security.

6. Contact Information

For any specific requests regarding your privacy, data deletion requests, or questions about this policy, please contact us directly via the Contact Page.
