At Morning Pics Corner, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit https://morningpicscorner.com/.
Whether you are here to download a fresh “Good Morning” image, browse inspirational quotes, or read our wellness blog, your privacy is our top priority. This policy has been curated by our lead administrator, Michael, to ensure full transparency.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://morningpicscorner.com/.
We are a digital gallery dedicated to spreading positivity through high-quality morning greetings and motivational content. We operate with a “Human-First” approach, meaning we treat your data with the same respect we would want for our own.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our “Good Morning” posts or articles, we collect the data shown in the comments form. This includes your name, email address, and the content of your message.
- Spam Detection: To keep our community safe from bots, we also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us identify and block malicious activity.
- Gravatar Service: An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After Michael or our team approves your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
3. Media
We encourage a vibrant community, but we care about your safety. If you upload images to our website (for example, in community galleries or comment sections), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included.
Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images hosted on the site. To protect your privacy, we recommend stripping GPS data from your photos before sharing them on any public platform.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help improve your browsing experience. At Morning Pics Corner, we use them for the following purposes:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
| Comment Cookies | Saves your name, email, and website so you don’t have to fill them in again for future comments. | 1 Year |
| Login Cookies | Used for users with accounts to determine if your browser accepts cookies and to save login info. | Session / 2 Days |
| Display Cookies | Saves your screen display choices and layout preferences. | 1 Year |
| Editor Cookies | Indicates the post ID of an article you just edited (for contributors/authors). | 1 Day |
If you select “Remember Me” during login, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed immediately.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles and “Good Morning” galleries may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images from Instagram, or social media posts).
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These websites may:
- Collect data about you.
- Use their own cookies.
- Embed additional third-party tracking.
- Monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
We recommend checking the privacy policies of these third-party sites (like YouTube or Pinterest) to understand how they handle your data.
6. Advertising and Analytics (E-E-A-T Compliance)
To keep our high-resolution morning images free for everyone, we partner with third-party advertising networks.
- Google AdSense: As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to Morning Pics Corner and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: We use analytics to understand which “Good Morning” categories (like “Monday Motivation” or “Nature Sunsets”) are most popular. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
7. Who We Share Your Data With
Morning Pics Corner does not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.
- Security Exceptions: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
- Automated Services: Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain the integrity of our inspirational community.
8. How Long We Retain Your Data
We do not keep data longer than necessary:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators (like Michael) can also see and edit that information.
9. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you have the following rights:
- Request Export: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- Request Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
- Note: This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please reach out to us via our Contact Page.
10. Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your data is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems (like Michael). We also use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology to ensure your connection to our site is encrypted and safe.
11. Children’s Privacy
Morning Pics Corner does not knowingly collect any personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Our content is family-friendly, but we encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. If you think your child provided this kind of information on our website, please contact us immediately, and we will do our best to remove such information from our records.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Michael and the team reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We encourage users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.
