When visitors leave comments on the Website 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 Gravatar or a similar service for anonymity. After approval of your comment, your profile picture or first name may be 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. Any media uploaded is provided with implied rights to redistribute through the Website or other social media channels managed by EAO Global.

COOKIES

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information about your preferences and browsing activities. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit the Website. We use cookies to:

  • Identify your device;
  • Remember your preferences and settings;
  • Analyze how you use the Website;
  • Deliver targeted advertising and content.

You can control the use of cookies on the Website through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Website.

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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

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, 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 the Website, 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.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent;
  • With service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data analytics, and customer support;
  • With law enforcement authorities or other government officials, if required by law or in response to a subpoena or other legal process;
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or other business transaction.

SECURITY

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, please note that no security measures are foolproof and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use the Website or provide any personal information to us.
