Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be sent to verify whether you have an existing profile associated with https://www.topchoiceadvisor.com.
Once your comment is approved, your name and, if applicable, your profile image may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to https://www.topchoiceadvisor.com, please ensure that any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) is removed before uploading. Uploaded images may contain metadata that could disclose your location or other personal information.
Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from publicly available images displayed on the site. To protect your privacy, we strongly recommend uploading images that do not include embedded location details.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on https://www.topchoiceadvisor.com, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This option is provided for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your details when posting another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and is automatically deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to store your login details and display preferences. Login cookies remain active for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login session will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal information; it simply records the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on https://www.topchoiceadvisor.com may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.
These external websites may collect information about you, use cookies, include additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — including tracking your activity if you have an account and are logged in to that external website.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party websites whose content is embedded on our site to understand how they may collect and use your data.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset on https://www.topchoiceadvisor.com, your IP address will be included in the password reset email for security purposes. This helps us verify the authenticity of the request and protect your account from unauthorized access.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment on https://www.topchoiceadvisor.com, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, rather than holding them for manual moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and modify this information to ensure proper site management and support.
