What personal data we collect and why we collect it
· Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and 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 by Automattic 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 unless you expressly let us know that you don’t want it to be visible.
· Contact forms
When you use the contact form, we only collect the information you provide to contact you and to provide customer service you expect, your name, address, phone number but not your bank information. Nothing else.
· 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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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 1 day.
· 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.
· Analytics
Analytics data is collected, anonymized, and retained by a third party, Google LLC and is used solely for the purpose of providing performance data. Please read their privacy policy available at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/.
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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
Your personal information required for processing the order and the billing is retained locally on a database located in Web Hosting Canada.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
· How we protect your data
Standard security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access to your data. We rely on the security of Web Hosting Canada and SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) for data in transit. Security updates are patched for the CMS and plugins when made available by the developers. We have a security extension preventing brute-force login attack and known intrusion techiques on the CMS.
· What third parties we receive data from
We do not receive any third-party data. This could change in the future and will be reflected in privacy policy changes with or without notice. We do invite you to review the privacy policy from time to time.
· What third parties we send data to
We do, however, use third-party services, like PayPal to process payments (note that we don’t collect or transmist data, the transaction is wholly executed on PayPal via a redirection after checkout), Google Analytics and HotJar for anonymous web site performance and usage tracking. Please read their respective privacy policy for further details on the data they collect and how they use it.
