Your Privacy Rights, Simplified (No, We’re Not Stalking You)

At Disqus, we care about your privacy. Here’s how you can take control of your data and make sure we’re not sharing your life story with everyone on the internet.

1. Your Account, Your Data

You can always update, tweak, or correct your personal info (like your contact details or profile) under “user preferences” in your account. Want to delete your account altogether? Follow these simple steps.

2. Know Your Legal Rights (We’re Not Here to Sell Your Soul)

Depending on where you live, you’ve got some solid rights regarding your data. These might include:

• Asking for a copy of your personal info we’ve collected
• Opting out of our data sharing (yes, no more ads that feel like they’re following you around)
• Deleting or correcting any data we’ve stored on you, especially from those cheeky comments you left last week.

3. How to Exercise Your Rights (It’s Simple, Promise)

To request any of the above, just click here. We’ll send you a verification email to ensure it’s really you (we don’t want anyone else playing around with your data). You can also call us at 855-906-0569 for phone requests. Note: You can only make two requests a year, so use them wisely!

4. Cookies: Not the Delicious Kind

We use cookies to make your Disqus experience better. These little data bites help us show you ads and content that we think you’ll like. If you’re not a fan of this, you can opt out with the click of a button (and we’ll remember your choice across all Disqus sites). But fair warning: if you delete cookies or switch browsers, you’ll need to opt out again. Still, you’ll see ads – just less creepy ones based on your past activity.

5. Opting Out of Newsletters and Emails

Not a fan of our email updates? Unsubscribe whenever you like by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the email or managing your preferences here. Don’t worry, you’ll still get essential emails (like password resets or account creation confirmations). But the fluff? Gone.

Bottom line: You’re in control. So, take charge and let us know how we can make your experience with Disqus better (or just leave us a cheeky comment).
