Who we are
Our website address is: https://nedquintana.com.
This website presents the work, publications, projects, and professional activities of Ned Quintana, including literary, editorial, artistic, and cultural content.
Information we collect
We may collect personal information when visitors voluntarily interact with the website, including when they:
- Submit a contact form
- Leave a comment, if comments are enabled
- Communicate with us through the website
- Interact with embedded third-party content
The information collected may include a name, email address, message content, IP address, browser user agent, and other technical data necessary for security, spam prevention, and website functionality.
Contact forms
When visitors submit a contact form through this website, we collect the information entered in the form, such as name, email address, subject, and message content.
This information is used only to:
- Respond to inquiries
- Review collaboration, press, or professional requests
- Manage communications related to the website and its projects
We do not sell or trade contact form information. Personal information submitted through forms is not used for unrelated marketing purposes.
Comments
If visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from the visitor’s email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether the visitor uses it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available through Automattic. After a comment is approved, the visitor’s profile picture may be visible publicly in the context of that comment.
Media uploads
If visitors are able to upload images to the website, they should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS metadata. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from uploaded images.
Cookies
This website may use cookies to support basic functionality, improve user experience, and manage certain WordPress features.
If a visitor leaves a comment, they may choose to save their name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for convenience, so the visitor does not need to enter their details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may last for one year.
If a user visits the login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether the browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser is closed.
When an authorized user logs in, cookies may be set to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, screen options cookies may last for one year, and login persistence may last for two weeks when “Remember Me” is selected. Logging out removes login cookies.
If an authorized user edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie may be stored in the browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages or articles on this website may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, audio, social media posts, or articles.
Embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor had directly visited the external website. These third-party websites may collect data about the visitor, use cookies, include additional tracking, and monitor interactions with that embedded content, especially if the visitor has an account with that service and is logged in.
Who we share your data with
Personal information is not sold or rented.
Data may be processed through website services necessary for functionality, security, form delivery, or spam detection. If a visitor requests a password reset, the visitor’s IP address may be included in the reset email.
Visitor comments may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How long we retain your data
Messages submitted through contact forms may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage professional communications, or maintain relevant records of correspondence.
If visitors leave comments, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows the website to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than placing them in moderation every time.
For registered users, if registration is enabled, the website may store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and edit that information when necessary for site management.
What rights you have over your data
Visitors who have submitted personal information through this website may request:
- Access to the personal data held about them
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of personal data, where applicable
If a visitor has an account on this site or has left comments, they may request an exported file of the personal data held about them, including information they provided directly. They may also request that personal data be erased, except where retention is necessary for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Contact form submissions and technical website data may be processed by tools or service providers used to operate, secure, and maintain the website.

For questions, requests, or concerns related to this Privacy Policy or the handling of personal information, visitors may contact us through the official contact form available on nedquintana.com
