What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you 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.

Media

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.

Contact forms

Please note that we keep contact form submissions for customer service purposes, but we do not share the information submitted.

Newsletter subscription

If you sign up for our newsletter, which is administered through MailChimp, we will store some of your information, including your email address, IP address and certain information about the links you click within the emails we send you, on a MailChimp server. Neither we nor MailChimp will ever sell your email address or share it with any other party, unless we are legally compelled to do so. If you contact MailChimp directly regarding your subscription to our newsletter, MailChimp may contact you directly; otherwise, MailChimp will never contact you. Only authorized MailChimp employees have access to our subscriber list. You are always free to unsubscribe from our newsletter, but as long as you are registered with Amiblu/Hobas we may use MailChimp to send you information about your account.

Cookies

If you have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We have enabled the following advertising features in Google Analytics, which provides anonymous traffic statistics:

• Remarketing with Google Analytics
• View reports on the Google Display Network
• Reports of aggregate anonymous demographics and interests, such as age and gender, to better understand who our visitors are.
• Embedded services that require Google Analytics to collect data through ad cookies and anonymous IDs.

These features allow Google Analytics to collect data about your traffic through the Google advertising cookies (https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/types/) and anonymous IDs (https: // www. google.com/policies/privacy/key-terms/#toc-terms-identifier), in addition to the data collected through the basic Google Analytics app.

Under no circumstances will we allow your personal identification.

If you wish, you can opt out of the Google Analytics advertising features. See the available opt-out options from the Google Analytics ad features for your browser here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Who we share your data with

We not share any personal data with anyone.

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.
