Privacy Policy
At The HuntingLab, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is protected. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your data when you visit our website, leave comments, upload media, or engage with other features on our site.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://thehuntinglab.com.
What Data We Collect and Why
1. Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent information to help with spam detection.
Additionally, an anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if set via Gravatar) will be publicly visible next to your comment. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
2. Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the site can download and extract this data from your images.
3. Cookies
We use cookies for various purposes to improve your experience on our site:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- Login: When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen option cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks.
- Post Editing: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved to your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after 1 day.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you were visiting the other website. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or embed additional third-party tracking, which is outside our control.
Data Sharing
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties unless legally required to do so, or if you have given us your explicit consent.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Comments: If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in moderation.
- Registered Users: For users that register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also access and modify user data.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
