Privacy Policy

This policy on privacy explains how I (IsmaelTech) handles and protects any information you provide when using this website. I may update this page sometimes according to changes to this policy.

Comments

When users post comments on the website, we gather the information displayed in the comments form along with the user’s IP address and browser user agent string to help in the detection of spam. I might display blog post comments on other sections of my website.

To determine whether you are using the Gravatar service, you might be asked to send it an anonymized string made from your email address, also known as a hash. The following is the Gravatar service privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, the public can see your profile picture within the comment.

Media

You should refrain from including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in any images you upload to the website. Any location data from the website’s images can be downloaded and extracted by visitors.

Cookies

You have the option to allow cookies to save your name, email address, and website when you leave a comment on our website. These are for your convenience so that when you leave another comment, you won’t have to enter your information again. You can keep these cookies for a year.

To check if your browser allows cookies, we will install a temporary cookie when you visit our login page. This cookie is deleted when your browser closes and doesn’t contain any personal information.

In order to store your login credentials and screen display preferences, we will additionally install a number of cookies when you log in. Screen settings cookies are stored for a year, whereas login cookies are stored for two days. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep your login active for two weeks. The login cookies will be deleted when you log out of your account.

Your browser will save an extra cookie if you modify or publish an article. This cookie only shows the post ID of the article you just updated; it contains no personal information. It expires one day later.

Embedded content from other websites

This website’s articles may contain embedded content, such as pictures, videos, and other types of content. The behavior of embedded content from other websites is identical to that of a visitor who has visited the other website.

These websites may gather information about you, employ cookies, incorporate extra third-party tracking, and track how you interact with the embedded material, including how you interact with it if you are logged in and have an account.

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

Both the comment and its information are saved permanently if you leave one. This will allow us to automatically identify and approve any follow-up comments rather than keeping them in a moderation queue.

We also keep the personal data that users enter in their user profiles when they register on our website, if any. Every user has the ability to see, modify, or remove their personal data at any moment (but they are unable to alter their username). Administrators of the website can view and modify that data as well.

What rights you have over your data

You can ask for an exported file of all the personal information we have on file about you, including any information you have given us, if you have an account on our website or have posted comments. Additionally, you have the option to ask us to delete any personal information we may have about you. This excludes any information we must maintain for security, legal, or administrative reasons.
