1. Who We Are
Welcome to DeepSeek Guides! Our website address is https://www.deepseeksguides.com. We provide content—news, tutorials, tools, and how-to guides—related to DeepSeek AI. By using our site, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our practices regarding the personal and non-personal information we collect.
2. Information We Collect
a) Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect what you submit (e.g., name, email, website), your IP address, and browser user-agent string. We also generate an anonymized version of your email (a “hash”) to check if you have a Gravatar profile. Once your comment is approved, your public avatar appears alongside it.
b) Media Uploads
If you upload images through our site, avoid including embedded location (EXIF GPS) data, as visitors can download and extract that information.
c) Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies and tracking tools to improve your experience:
- Saving your details when you leave comments (cookies last up to one year)
- Temporary cookies during login tests (discarded on browser close)
- Login/session cookies (two-day expiry)
- “Remember Me” functionality (up to two weeks)
- Screen display preferences (one year)
- Supplemental cookies when you edit or publish posts (one-day expiry).
3. Embedded Content
Content from other websites (e.g., videos, infographics) behaves as if you visited that source directly. Third-party sites may collect data, deploy cookies, and track how you interact with their embedded content.
4. How We Use Your Information
- Facilitate comment submissions and enhance spam protection.
- Manage user sessions, logins, and preferences.
- Improve site experience through analytics.
- Send reset links, including your IP address, when requested.
5. Data Sharing
We do not share personal data for marketing. However, your IP address is sent if you request a password reset. Additionally, automated spam services (e.g., Akismet) may process comment data.
6. Google AdSense & Third‑Party Advertising
- We use Google AdSense, which means third-party vendors, including Google, may place cookies on your device to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other websites. This enables interest-based advertising, frequency capping, and aggregated reporting.
- You can opt out of personalized ads by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Other ad networks may also serve ads and set cookies. We disclose their use and direct you to opt-out pages where available.
7. Data Retention
- Comments & Metadata: Kept indefinitely so replies appear automatically without moderation.
- Registered Users: We store the information you provide for user profile features. You can edit or delete your data anytime—except your username. Admins can also access this data.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you’ve registered or commented, you may request:
- A complete export of your personal data
- Permanent deletion (right to erasure), except for data we must keep for legal or security reasons
9. Where Your Data Is Stored
Collected data is stored securely on our servers. Data may be transferred outside your country if our infrastructure or service providers are located elsewhere. We take technical precautions to protect it.
10. Cookies Policy Summary
We use:
- Essential cookies – for login and comment features
- Preference cookies – to remember your choices

These cookies align with standard WordPress practices.
