Thank you for sharing the default Privacy Policy provided by WordPress. Based on this, I’ll modify it to include the specific features you mentioned, such as the pop-up form for newsletter sign-ups and lead generation via contact forms. Here’s an updated version tailored to your needs:

Our website address is: https://sanjeevbhattarai.com.np.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This is used for spam detection.
An anonymized string (a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

5. Embedded Content
Articles on the Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that website.
6. Lead Generation and Contact Forms
We may use contact forms for lead generation purposes. When you submit a contact form, we collect the personal information you provide, including your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share. This data is used to respond to inquiries and generate leads.
Additionally, we may use pop-up forms on blog posts and other pages to encourage sign-ups for our newsletter or updates. If you choose to subscribe, your email address will be stored for email marketing purposes.
7. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we may share your email address with trusted email service providers for the sole purpose of sending newsletters or other marketing communications.
8. How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- Users Registered on the Site: For users who register on the Site (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
9. Your Rights Over Your Data
- You can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you’ve provided to us.
- You can also request that we erase your personal data. However, this does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We also share your email address with trusted third-party services used for newsletter distribution or marketing.
11. Data Protection and Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
