AK Cartoons is a cartoon review and entertainment website. Our website address is: https://akcartoons.in. For any privacy-related queries, you can contact us at [email protected]
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form including your name, email address, and the comment itself. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked via Gravatar) becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract location information from images on the website.
Contact Forms
If you contact us via a form, the details you submit (such as your name and email) are stored to allow us to respond to your query. We do not use this information for marketing purposes.
Cookies
We use cookies in the following situations:
- If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, cookies are set to save your login session and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; display option cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies.
- If you edit or publish content, a short-lived cookie stores the post ID of the article edited. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on AK Cartoons may include embedded content such as videos, images, or links from other websites (e.g. YouTube trailers). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if you had visited those websites directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content particularly if you are logged into those platforms.
Who We Share Your Data With
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users, personal information provided in user profiles is stored as long as the account is active. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may:
- Request an exported file of all personal data we hold about you.
- Request that we erase your personal data from our records.
Please note that we may be required to retain certain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make a request, contact us at [email protected]
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
