Welcome to malayalanatu.com. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website and interact with our content, specifically regarding our use of social media integrations.
1. Information We Collect via Facebook Integrations To foster a community of readers and allow for active discussion, we use the official Facebook Comments plugin and social sharing widgets on our articles. When you choose to leave a comment or share a post using these features, we use Facebook Login to authenticate your identity.
Depending on your personal Facebook privacy settings, this integration may grant us access to basic public information, which typically includes:
- Your public Facebook profile name.
- Your profile picture.
- A unique, app-scoped user ID provided by Meta.
We do not request, collect, or have access to sensitive data such as your email address, friends list, gender, or private messages through this integration.
2. How We Use Your Information The information accessed via the Facebook Comments plugin is used exclusively to:
- Verify your identity as a real user to prevent spam on our web journal.
- Display your name and profile picture next to the comments you choose to publish on our articles.
- Enable you to share your comments directly to your personal Facebook feed, if you select that option.
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties We respect your privacy. We do not sell, rent, or independently store your Facebook profile data on our own databases for marketing purposes. Because the comment widget is a direct embed from Meta, the processing of your data while interacting with the comment box is also governed by Meta’s own Data Policy.
4. Cookies and Tracking The Facebook Comments widget may use cookies or similar tracking technologies placed by Meta to maintain your logged-in status and provide secure authentication. You can manage your cookie preferences directly through your web browser or your personal Facebook account settings.
5. Data Deletion and User Rights You retain full control over the comments you post on malayalanatu.com using the Facebook plugin.
- To delete a comment: You can delete any comment you have made directly on the article page by clicking the menu on your specific comment and selecting “Delete”.
- To revoke access: You can completely remove our app’s connection to your account at any time by visiting your Facebook Account Settings > Apps and Websites, and removing the app associated with this website.
6. Contact Us If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled on our site, please contact us at editor@malayalanatu.com
