Who We Are
Our website address is: https://weapon-clear.com
This policy applies to all users globally and is designed to comply with privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile photo (if connected to Gravatar) is visible publicly with your comment.
Media
Avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as other users can extract this data from the image files.
Contact Forms
We collect your name, email address, and message when you submit a contact form. This data is used to respond to your inquiry and may be stored for customer service purposes.
Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Save your comment form details (name, email, website) for convenience — lasts for 1 year.

- Track content publishing actions — expires after 1 day.
