We take your privacy seriously and want to be transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather when you visit our website (www.skynetiks.com) and how we use that information.
What Information Do We Collect?
Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the information you enter in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details to help prevent spam.
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: Cookies are used to remember your preferences, like your name and email, when leaving comments. They also help us understand how visitors interact with our website. There are different types of cookies used:
- Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies stay on your device for a set period (usually one year) to remember your preferences across visits.
- Third-Party Cookies: Some content embedded on our site may use cookies from other websites (like Youtube).
How Do We Use Your Information?
We primarily use your data to:
- Improve your experience on our website by remembering your preferences.
- Ensure the website functions properly.
- Moderate comments and prevent spam.
- Comply with legal requirements or enforce our Terms and Conditions.
Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with service providers we rely on, such as Google Workspace. We will also disclose your information if required by law, or in case of violation of Terms of Services
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
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.
Your Control Over Your Information
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.
Protecting Your Information
We take steps to safeguard your information using industry best practices to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
