Who We Are

Welcome to 99AB, accessible from https://99ab.app. Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available on their website. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public within the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
