Who We Are

Welcome to our news and scholarship blog, https://confluencereporters.blogspot.com. We strive to provide our visitors with the latest news and scholarship opportunities. It is important to note that we do not award scholarships on this platform or in partnership with any issuing or awarding body. Our main objective is to bring you the necessary information for easy access to the relevant platforms that handle scholarship awards.

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 to help 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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available [here](https://automattic.com/privacy/). After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature is provided for your convenience, eliminating the need to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you were visiting the other website directly.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
