1. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We may collect personal information from you in various ways, including when you visit our site, register on the site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our site.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Contact Forms

If you use a contact form plugin, we collect personal data captured when someone submits a contact form. We keep contact form submissions for a certain period for customer service purposes, but do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.

5. Cookies

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

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

6. 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.

7. Who We Share Your Data With

We share your personal information with third parties for the purposes outlined below:

• Payment Processors/Shopping Carts: To collect payment.
• SendFox: To collect and manage emails.
• Google Forms: To run surveys and questionnaires.
• Contact Form Plugins: To gather information from contact forms on our website.
• Google and Facebook: To gather analytics and improve our services.
• KingSumo: To send updates regarding giveaways and referral contests.
  
  

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

11. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement various measures to protect it. We do not store user data locally or on our website. Instead, we use third-party services such as SendFox, Google Forms, and WordPress, all of which are secured. Additionally, we conduct regular security audits to ensure the safety of your data.

12. Data Breach Procedures

In the event of a data breach, we have internal reporting systems, contact mechanisms, and potentially a bug bounty program to deal with breaches, both potential and real.

13. Third Parties We Receive Data From

We may receive data about users from third parties, including advertisers, which must be included within the section of our privacy policy dealing with third-party data.

14. Automated Decision Making and Profiling

We may provide services that include automated decision-making, such as aggregating data into an advertising profile. Users have the right to information about how that information is used and what decisions are made with that data, and the ability to object to or restrict such processing.

15. Industry Regulatory Disclosure Requirements

If you are a member of a regulated industry or subject to additional privacy laws, you may be required to disclose that information here.

16. Contact Information
