The lines that matter most, worst first.
This page is a how-to article about writing a privacy policy, not virgool’s own legal rules.

For example, signing up on virgool does not mean you agreed to this author’s WordPress template.
This is sample wording for other websites, not a statement of what virgool actually collects.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“ما فقط به اطلاعاتی که شخص شما در سایت وارد می کنید دسترسی داریم و آنها را جمع آوری می کنیم، اطلاعاتی که از طریق ایمیل و یا دیگر روش های ارتباطی برای ما ارسال کرده اید شامل این قانون می شود.”
For example, you cannot assume virgool only stores what you type, because this is a template, not their policy.
The sample text says not to sell data, but that is advice for site owners, not virgool’s promise.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“در نظر داشته باشید که ما این اطلاعات را به کسی نمی فروشیم و یا اجاره نمی دهیم.”
For example, this line does not stop virgool from sharing data if their real policy says otherwise.
The sample WordPress comment policy stores IP and browser data; it is not confirmed as virgool’s rule.

Privacy policy
“زمانی که بازدید کننده در سایت کامنتی ارسال می کند، ما اطلاعاتی که در دیدگاه نمایش داده می شود را ذخیره می کنیم، علاوه بر آن آیپی آدرس بازدید کننده و مرورگر او نیز برای کمک به تشخیص اسپمرها استفاده می شود.”
For example, leaving a comment on this blog post may log your IP, but that does not describe the whole virgool app.
The sample mentions sending a hash of your email to Gravatar, a third party.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“An string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.”
For example, if a site used this template, your email hash could go to Automattic when you comment.
English sample text about not sharing except to fill an order; virgool is not a shop in this document.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.”
For example, this shipping example does not tell you who hosts virgool posts.
The author tells site owners to disclose health data if they collect it; virgool’s own collection is not stated.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“در ضمن اگه یکسری اطلاعات حساس درمورد سلامتی اشخاص رو هم ذخیره می کنید (مثلا اگه کسی به ویروس ایدز مبتلاست و توی سایت وارد میکنه). باید حتما چنین موردی رو توی قوانین ذکر بیارید.”
For example, this does not mean virgool collects health data; it is writing advice.
The article is incomplete and points to a second part, so even the template is unfinished.

For example, retention, cookies, and user rights are not covered in this page.
Words to know
Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.
- de-identified
- Data with your name and obvious identifiers removed, though it can sometimes still be traced back to you. For example, your chats with names stripped out may still be kept and studied after you delete your account.
- third parties
- Any company or person other than you and the app, such as advertisers, partners or analytics firms. For example, an analytics company that receives a record of every screen you tap is a third party.
