Introduction
Bokuden Digital (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

1. Information We Collect
Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify your use of it. For more information on Gravatar’s privacy practices, see their Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors may be able to extract this data.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year. If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies; this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon browser closure.
When you log in, several cookies will store login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, screen option cookies last one year, and if “Remember Me” is selected, login cookies will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies. Additionally, editing or publishing an article will store a cookie indicating the post ID; it expires in one day and contains no personal data.
3. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other site directly, potentially allowing them to collect data, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor interactions if you are logged in to that website.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Automated Spam Detection
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

For users who register on our site, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Registered users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed.

6. Your Data Rights
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including data you provided to us. You may also request that we delete your personal data, except for information we must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
7. Security of Your Information
We employ technical and organizational measures to secure your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While we strive to protect your data, no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure.
