Privacy Policy / TOS

ThreatIntelReport.com is a cybersecurity publication focused on threat intelligence research and analysis.

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data is used to support spam detection and protect the integrity of the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is provided for convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details for subsequent comments. These cookies are retained for one year.

If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to confirm whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to store your login session and display preferences. Login cookies typically last two days, and screen preference cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login session will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only records the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on ThreatIntelReport.com may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from third-party sites behaves as if you visited those sites directly.

These third parties may collect information about you, use cookies, implement additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This may include tracking your interaction if you have an account with the third party and are logged in.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email as a security measure.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically and improves moderation effectiveness.

If users register on our website (where enabled), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Site administrators can also view and edit profile information for administrative purposes.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, including information you provided. You can also request that we erase personal data we hold about you.

Requests to delete data may be limited where we are required to retain information for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

We use third-party services that may process site usage and security-related data, including:

  • Google Analytics
  • Bing Analytics
  • Cloudflare
