What Personal Data We Collect and Why

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 help detect spam.

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

Media

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

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site. If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies will last for one year.

Other cookies are used for login sessions, screen display preferences, and editor usage. These are temporary or expire within 1–14 days depending on your activity.

You may control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor had visited the external site directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We may also share data with third-party service providers such as spam detection services or analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to allow follow-up comment approvals.

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

Your Rights Over Your Data

You may request:

  • Access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • A copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used format.
  • That we delete any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to retain for legal or security purposes.

To exercise these rights, contact us at customer.service@ciasllc.com.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Other data may be sent to third-party processors such as email marketing services or analytics platforms, depending on site functionality.
