Personal identification information
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, subscribe to the newsletter, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, their name and email address. Users may, however, visit our site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identifiable information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain site-related activities.
Non-personal identification information
We may collect non-personal identification information about users whenever they interact with our site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer, technical information about the user’s means of connection to our site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information.
Web browser cookies
Our site may use “cookies” to enhance the user experience. A user’s web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Users may set their web browser to refuse cookies or alert them when cookies are sent. If this is the case, please note that some parts of the site may not function properly.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so 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 1 day.
How do we use the collected information?
The site may collect and use users’ personal information for the following purposes:
- To improve our site, we may use your feedback to improve our products and services.
- To run a promotion, contest, survey, or other site feature.
- To send users information they have agreed to receive about topics we think will interest them.
- To send periodic emails: We may use the email address to send users information and updates pertaining to their order. It may also be used to respond to inquiries, questions, and/or other requests. If the user opts in to our mailing list, they will receive emails including company news, updates, related product or service information, etc. If the user would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from the visitor’s email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if they 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.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of every site you visit. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Security
We value your trust in providing us with your personal information, so we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
How do we protect your information?
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on our site.
Sensitive and private data exchange between the site and its users happens over an SSL-secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures.
Sharing your personal information
We do not sell, trade, or rent users’ personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers. This is for the purposes outlined above. We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our business and the site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys. We may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes, provided you have given us your permission. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How long do 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.
If the user opts into our mailing list, we retain their emails for as long as required to provide the service; however, users can always unsubscribe from our emails.
Media Content
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. Such images should not contain any personally identifiable information that could compromise your privacy or security. We take precautions to protect our users’ personal information and will not publicly display any images that contain such information. Any user-generated media content uploaded to the website is done at their own risk.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles and other content 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 had 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. Such websites may also include tools such as Google Maps or YouTube videos that allow them to collect data about you. We have no control over any third-party websites and cannot be responsible for their privacy policies or practices. We encourage users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other website that collects personal data.
Third-party websites
Users may find advertising or other content on our site that links to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, and other third parties. We do not control the content or links on these sites. We are not responsible for websites linked to or from our site. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites with a link to our site, is subject to that website’s own terms and policies.
Advertising
Advertising partners who may set cookies may deliver ads to users on our website. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. They gather non-personal information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy does not cover advertisers’ use of cookies.
What rights do you have over your data?

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
