Use of Collected Personal Data

Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, the data entered in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent, are collected to help us detect spam comments.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding uploading images containing EXIF data with GPS coordinates. Visitors to your website can download and extract location data from these images.

Contact Forms

Data collected through the submission of a contact form is stored electronically. It will not be used for commercial purposes.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you will be offered the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter this information if you leave another comment later. These cookies expire after one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be created to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It does not contain any personal data and will be deleted automatically when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen preferences. The lifespan of a login cookie is two days, while a screen preference cookie lasts for one year. If you check “Remember me,” your login cookie will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookie will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data. It only indicates the ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles…). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor were visiting the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to their website.

Statistics and Audience Measurements

Statistics and audience measurements are carried out by the Google Analytics service. The privacy policy of Google Analytics is available here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Use and Transmission of Your Personal Data

All your personal information is considered confidential. It is processed electronically and used solely for order management. It is never shared with third parties, except for online payments.

During online payment, some of your data will be transmitted to our payment provider Proxypay. Credit card information is transmitted securely and encrypted directly from the client to Proxypay. We do not have access to this information on our servers.

Data Retention Period

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our site, we also store the personal data provided in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Regarding Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on the site, you can request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request the deletion of your personal data. This does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Transmission of Your Personal Data

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