Privacy Policy

Top List Works respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information may be collected and used when you visit this website. This Privacy Policy explains what data may be collected, how it may be used, and what rights you may have in relation to that information.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://toplistworks.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, information entered into the comments form may be collected, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent data. This helps with moderation, spam prevention, and site security.

An anonymized string created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. See the Gravatar privacy policy. After a comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to this website, avoid files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can potentially extract location info from published images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in a cookie for convenience (kept up to one year). A temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies on the login page. Login sessions use cookies that last up to two days (up to two weeks with “Remember Me”); these are removed when you log out. Editing or publishing content sets a short-lived cookie identifying the post ID.

Advertising (Google AdSense) & Analytics

We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

  • You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
  • We may also use Google Analytics to understand site traffic. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
  • Third-party vendors, including Google, may use first-party and third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and serve ads.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (videos, images, articles) from other sites. This behaves as if you visited that site directly — it may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you’re logged into that service.

Who we share your data with

Password reset emails may include your IP address for security. Comments are checked through an automated spam-detection service. Ad and analytics data is shared with Google as described above.

How long we retain data

Comments and their metadata may be stored indefinitely so follow-up comments are recognized automatically. If registration is enabled, profile data is stored until the user edits or deletes it (except username); admins can also view/edit this data.

Your rights over your data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an export of your personal data or request erasure, except where retention is required for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically; changes will be posted here with a revised date.
