Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information TechonRamen (techonramen.com) collects, why, and what happens to it. It was last updated on September 14, 2026.
Who runs this site
TechonRamen is written and run by Tim, a college student in Illinois. It is an independent site with no company behind it. Our website address is https://techonramen.com.
Comments
When you leave a comment, the site collects what is shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This helps with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on a website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again on another comment. They last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos or images hosted elsewhere. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same way as if you had visited that website directly.
Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with it if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
Links to other sites
Articles here link out to official documentation, source repositories, and manufacturer support pages. This site has no control over the privacy practices of those sites, and this policy does not cover them.
How long your data is kept
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically instead of being held in a moderation queue.
For users who register on this site, the personal information they provide in their user profile is also stored. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except that they cannot change their username. Site administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data held about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that any personal data held about you be erased. This does not include data that must be kept for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To make either request, get in touch using the contact details on the contact page.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Site hosting is provided by Hostinger, which means server logs including IP addresses are processed by the host as part of running the site.
Changes to this policy
If what the site collects changes, this page gets updated and the date at the top changes with it.
