Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.nytime.org/

Welcome to NYTime.org, your premier destination for all things related to New York. Our website, accessible at www.nytime.org, is dedicated to delivering comprehensive content that keeps you updated and informed. Whether it’s news, events, or insights, we aim to provide engaging and relevant information tailored for our audience.

Comments and Data Collection

When visitors leave comments on our site, we gather the data from the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent information, to assist in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized hash (a string generated from your email address) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an existing profile. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if applicable, will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media, Image Upload Guidelines

If you choose to upload images to our website, please refrain from including any embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS information). Visitors to the site have the ability to download and extract this location data from images, which could compromise your privacy.

Cookie Policy

When you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This means you won’t need to re-enter your information for future comments. These cookies are valid for one year.

Upon visiting our login page, we will establish a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and will be discarded when you close your browser. Once you log in, we will set several cookies to remember your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies will last for two days, while screen option cookies will remain active for one year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, these login cookies will be deleted.

You edit or publish an article, a separate cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data; it simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited and will expire after one day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content such as videos, images, and articles. This embedded content from other websites functions the same way as if you visited those websites directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and embed third-party tracking. They can also monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that site.

Who We Share Your Data With

When you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

An anonymized string generated from your email address, known as a hash, may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an account there. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

We utilize Ezoic to deliver personalization and analytics services on this website. Consequently, Ezoic’s privacy policy applies and can be reviewed here.

Analytics and Site Improvement

We track activity on this site using commercial analytics tools. This data helps us enhance the user experience and ensure the site functions properly.

Comment Retention and User Information

When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, eliminating the need to hold them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (although changing the username is not permitted). Website administrators also have the ability to view and edit this information.

Data Access and Erasure Requests

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we possess. However, this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Spam Detection for Comments

Visitor comments may be reviewed using an automated spam detection service.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of any changes.
