Who We Are

Roger Acuña, MBA – Digital Marketing Strategist. Our website is located at https://www.rogeracuna.com. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit or interact with our site.

Information We Collect

Comments & Engagement

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the following information:

Your name, email address, website URL (if provided)
Comment content and timestamp
Your IP address and browser user agent string (used for spam detection and site security)

An anonymized hash of your email address may be shared with Gravatar to retrieve your profile picture. You can review Gravatar’s privacy practices at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media & Images

If you upload images to our site, please be aware that images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS metadata) may allow visitors to extract that data. We recommend removing location data before uploading images.

Login & Account Information

If you create an account on our site, we securely store the personal information you provide, which you can view, edit, or delete at any time (except your username, which cannot be changed).

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your experience and maintain site functionality. Here’s how we use them:

Comment Cookies

If you opt-in when leaving a comment, we save your name, email, and website in cookies for one year. This allows you to skip filling in these details on your next visit.

These external sites may collect data about you, set their own cookies, employ tracking technologies, and monitor your interactions with embedded content—regardless of whether you’re logged in to their platforms. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies directly.
