Privacy policy
Introduction
Welcome to ITDW Group. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service's privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/ . Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public within the context of your comment.
2. Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
3. Cookies Policy
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 re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up multiple cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen options cookies last for one year.
- If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.
- If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not store personal data and only indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
4. 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 exactly as if the visitor had visited the third-party website directly.
These websites may:
- Collect data about you,
- Use cookies,
- Embed additional third-party tracking, and
- Monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your engagement if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
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
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile.
- All registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username, which cannot be changed).
- Website administrators can also view and edit this 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 containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are legally or administratively required to retain for security, compliance, or regulatory purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
