We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you what personal data we may collect and how it is used. This statement applies only to this website.
What information do we collect and how do we use it?
This website may collect personal information about you, such as your name or email address. For example, you may voluntarily submit information to the Site by leaving a comment, subscribing to a newsletter, or submitting a contact form. Personal data may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address and telephone number.
This website automatically collects certain information about you and the device you use to access this website. For example, when you use this website, this website will record your IP address, operating system type, browser type, referring website, pages you view and the date/time you visit this website. This website may also collect information about the actions you take while using this website, such as the links you click.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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, you should 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.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a web server sends to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on a website. A cookie will collect information about your use of this website, information about your device such as your device’s IP address and browser type, demographic data, and if you came to this website through a link from a third-party website, the linking URL page.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
communicate
On the website you can subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and enables analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Thanks to these tracking pixels, the company may see if and when you open the email and which links in the email you click. Furthermore, this enables the company to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of users. This behavior is not passed on to third parties.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
How long your personal information will be kept
We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Different types of personal information have different retention periods. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it.
Links to other websites
This Privacy Policy applies only to this website. This website may contain links to other websites that are not operated or controlled by the Company (“Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures described here do not apply to third-party websites. A link from a website does not imply that Company endorses or has reviewed the third-party website. We recommend contacting these sites directly for information about their privacy policies.
