Privacy Policy

Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.spksy.org.

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

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you won’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser.
Upon logging in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
Editing or publishing an article results in an additional cookie saved in your browser, which contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the edited article. This expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if the visitor accessed the content directly from the external website.

These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into the external site.

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 recognise and approve any follow-up comments without holding them in moderation.

For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
