Who we are
Our website address is: https://franchisetimes.co.in.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address, privacy policy, and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
We may generate an anonymized string (a hash) from your email address and provide it to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After we approve your comment, your profile picture appears publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may download and extract location data from those images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, so you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies remain for one year.
When you visit our login page, we place a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t store personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
After you log in, we store cookies to remember your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies stay for two days, and screen option cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” the login stays active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, we store an extra cookie in your browser. This cookie only stores the post ID of the article you edited and expires in one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). These elements behave just like you visited the other website directly.
These external sites may collect your data, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor how you interact with their embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to their site.
Who we share your data with
When you request a password reset, we include your IP address in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, we keep the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve future comments automatically instead of sending them to moderation.
If you register on our site or provide information for privacy-related features, we store the personal data you submit in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username). Website administrators can also access 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 an exported file of your personal data. You can also ask us to delete your personal data. This excludes any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
We check visitor comments using an automated spam detection service.
