Who we are

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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, 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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

Currently it is not allowed to register or login to the platform for others than the owners of the website.

So – we NEVER share your data.

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; see above), 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.

Where your data is sent

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

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT & HOW DO WE USE IT?

Google Analytics

Google Analytics, a product of Google, collects information such as how often users visit the Websites, what pages they visit and what other sites they used prior to visiting. Google uses the data collected to track and examine the use of the Websites, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected on the Websites to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Websites is restricted.

You can find the current terms of use, as well as explanations about data protection at Google Analytics by visiting Google’s Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Terms of Service.

In order to be able to analyze this website using Google Analytics, we require your consent, which is why we ask you to give your consent to the use of cookies for functional, statistical and marketing purposes in the context as described in our Cookie Notice.

Google Web Fonts 

The Websites use Google Web Fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. Please also note our general information on the use of Google services.

When a page on our Websites, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that our Websites has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts serves a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. 

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer.

In order to be able to present our Websites in a user-friendly manner using Google Web Fonts, we need your consent, which is why we ask you to give your consent to the use of cookies for functional, statistical and marketing purposes in the context as described in our Cookie Notice.

Google reCAPTCHA 

Google reCAPTCHA is a service from Google that allows website operators to check whether a user on their site is a human or a bot. Our Websites use Google reCAPTCHA. Please note our general information on the use of Google services.

The reCAPTCHA deployment is intended to ensure that no bots automatically interact on the website, thus protecting the individual web pages from spam software and abuse by non-human visitors. reCAPTCHA collects personal data from website visitors to determine whether the actions on the visited website are from humans. The IP address and other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service are sent to Google. In addition to the login data, this can also include, for example, mouse and keyboard behaviour and Javascript objects. According to Google, the IP address is not combined with other data from Google unless the visitor is logged in with his Google account while using reCAPTCHA.
 
With the integration of the Google reCAPTCHA our Websites, your data is collected and stored by Google. Since we cannot prevent Google from beginning to collect and process data before you answer the reCAPTCHA request, we also ask for your consent to our use of the Google reCAPTCHA service in the context of our request for your consent to cookie use. The reCAPTCHA script will only be loaded if you give your consent. For security reasons we can only offer our service, in which the reCAPTCHA function is integrated, if you answer the reCAPTCHA request. 

Please visit Google’s Privacy Policy and view it’s Terms of Service for more information about Google reCAPTCHA.

In order to be able to secure this website using Google reCAPTCHA, we need your consent, which is why we ask you to give your consent to the use of cookies for functional, statistical and marketing purposes in the context as described in our Cookie Notice.
