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.

There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with personal data. We only ask you to provide us with the data necessary for our services. Without this personal data, we may not be able to offer you our services.

Where We Send Your Data

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

Your Contact Information

We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. We will use your information for, but not limited to, communicating with you in relation to services and/or products you have requested or received from us. We may share data with trusted partners to provide customer support, statistical analysis, comply with legal process, protect and defend the rights of property, and/or act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our site, or the public.

 

How We Protect Your Data

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive data via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive financial information, such as credit card data, that information is encrypted and sent to us in a secure way. You can verify our security precautions by looking for the “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

What Data Breach Procedures We Have In Place

In the event of a data breach or imminent breach of data, in order to contain the data breach and minimize the extent of the intrusion:

  • Disconnect the affected and related systems or networks from Internet access.
  • Contact (1st/ 2nd/3rd RESPONDER) to notify them of the data breach or imminent breach of data.
  • Document date and time the breach occurred, what files the user was accessing at the time of the breach, the breach team member contacted, and actions taken to secure data.
  • Contact technical support to detect and remove the malware or other information related to the breach.
  • Notify the Administrator within 24 hours of the breach occurrence or detection of breach/recognition of imminent breach.
  • Review virus/malware/other protective software to review system vulnerabilities and increase the level of protection for the system.
  • If possible, reimage the system and restore from backup files.

Following the incident, staff will review procedures to determine if any actions by the user or the team contributed to the data breach.  Staff will be updated on policies to protect against data breaches or imminent breaches of data.

A computer technician will review software, updates, and software/data protection programs to improve the security of the data and operating system to prevent further incidents. Information related to the data breach will be documented on the incident log, repairs or modifications implemented will be included on the log and kept in a secure location. 

If necessary, the management team will review procedures and make necessary changes to the procedures to improve the security of information. 

What Automated Decision Making And/Or Profiling We Do With User Data

On behalf of us, Google will process this data in order to analyze your use of our websites, to generate reports on website activity, and to render further services regarding the use of our websites. The IP-address transmitted by your browser will not be associated with other data in possession of Google.
